Why do people who experience trauma feel shame and isolation? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trauma and shame are commonly linked.

This is why people like first responders and veterans form such close bonds with coworkers and comrades; these relationships are often closer than survivors\u2019 relationships with their spouses and children, because they don\u2019t share those experiences and understanding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, many trauma survivors feel paralyzing shame about their own behavior during a traumatic episode furthering the feelings of trauma and isolation. In some cases, the survivor may have lashed out in response to the trauma and subsequently feels shame about it; for instance, the day after Tom\u2019s platoon was ambushed in Vietnam, he killed children and raped women in a nearby village in a vengeful rage. The trauma and shame of his actions later haunted him mercilessly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other cases, trauma survivors feel ashamed about their behavior &#8212; regardless of any rational reality of whether they could\u2019ve acted any differently. This is often the case with children who submit to their abusers and even maintain relationships with them later in life (e.g. as relatives or family friends).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of van der Kolk\u2019s colleagues, Sarah Haley, wrote about trauma survivors\u2019 trauma shame in an article titled \u201cWhen the Patient Reports Atrocities,\u201d and her work was a major factor in the creation of the PTSD diagnosis. Haley wrote that <strong>as hard as it is for trauma survivors to come to terms with the suffering they faced at the hands of others, many are even more haunted by what they did or didn\u2019t do in the event <\/strong>&#8212; whether they were scared, dependent, enraged, or excited.\u00a0Trauma and shame or commonly linked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Trauma Survivors Suffer Emotional Numbness<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Trauma and shame can also lead to emotional numbness. Flashbacks are so intense that trauma sufferers try to avoid them at all costs; they may compulsively go to the gym and push themselves physically, take drugs or drink alcohol to dull the memories, or put themselves in dangerous situations so they can feel some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/an-internal-locus-of-control\/\">sense of control<\/a> over chaos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, trauma survivors can never fully escape the flashbacks until they\u2019ve healed from their trauma, and the more they experience flashbacks the more they remain stuck in that event; <strong>the more they\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/stuck-in-the-past\/\">stuck in the past<\/a>, the less able they are to experience the present, and they tend to go through life feeling numb and as if they\u2019re simply going through the motions.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, some trauma survivors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-feel-alive\/\">feel more alive<\/a> and engaged when they are describing and essentially revisiting their trauma &#8212; as in when veterans share combat stories.&nbsp;This sharing may help ease the feelings of trauma and isolation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freud called the habit of either describing or recreating trauma as \u201cthe compulsion to repeat.\u201d He believed that trauma survivors engage in these reenactments in an unconscious attempt to gain control over a situation that haunts them, in (unconscious) hopes of eventually reaching a resolution. However, there is no evidence to back up Freud\u2019s theory, and in fact, <strong>repetition &#8212; even in therapy &#8212; leads to pain, self-hatred, and continued fixation on the trauma.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How are trauma and shame connected?
