Lesson Overview

25.16 – How Trauma Can Make You Feel “Too Much” or “Too Quiet”: Trauma rewires your sense of expression—some people become intensely emotional, while others shut down completely. Both are ways of managing overload. Feeling “too much” may come from years of being unheard; silence may come from learning that speaking up led to punishment. Neither means you’re broken. Healing invites balance through self-awareness and practice. Notice what happens in your body when emotions rise or retreat. Gentle grounding, art, or breathing exercises help you regulate safely. Expressing doesn’t require perfection—it requires permission. Over time, your reactions will find rhythm again. You deserve to take up emotional space at a volume that finally feels true to you.
