Each person experiences trauma differently. While we often associate trauma with major physical events such as war or car accidents, it is actually something that most individuals go through. The dictionary defines trauma as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, whether mentally or physically.
The majority of individuals have encountered emotional trauma at some point in their lives.
Emotional trauma occurs when there is a surge of negative emotions, usually accompanied by a false belief, a limiting perspective, or a distorted view of oneself, others, or life, which becomes ingrained in the subconscious mind.
These emotional traumas remain in consciousness due to a command embedded in the subconscious mind during the traumatic event, known as an engram.
An engram is a neural code that maintains a physical memory trace. It creates a habitual recollection of the incident in the present moment. The nervous system remains activated throughout the day, leading to neurological anxiety and dysregulation, as the engram persists through triggers and commands. To process information efficiently, the mind categorises events and experiences, recalling incidents based on similarities in environments, circumstances, or commands.
Limiting Beliefs
Generally speaking, most commands are expressions of limiting beliefs regarding oneself, others, and life.
During traumatic events, limiting beliefs and false identities expressed in a highly negative manner form "commands" that imprint on the subconscious mind, becoming part of an individual's automated programming and a neurological engram.
For instance, if an individual experiences emotional trauma related to abandonment in relationships, their subconscious mind may automatically make them believe they will face abandonment in every relationship. Spiritually, our DNA carries the memories of our lineage's traumas across lifetimes, ancestral lineage, collective trauma, and childhood experiences. In the field of science, Epigenetics suggests that inherited traumas affect our DNA expression.
Through trauma work, we can neutralize traumatic memories, reprogram epigenetic encoding, release negative somatic emotions, neutralize Akashic memories, and affirm empowering new thoughts. This process prevents these memories from lurking in the subconscious mind like puppet strings controlling one's habitual life. Triggers diminish, new possibilities emerge, and one's freedom of choice is restored.
