Unresolved Historical Events
Challenge
Do you suffer from anxiety or panic that occurs in what would be considered normal situations?
Do you experience feelings of shame, that you are bad, worthless, or live without importance?
Do you suffer from chronic or ongoing depression?
Are you actively avoiding people, places, or things that may be related to the traumatic event?
These specific types of intense experiences (sometimes in childhood) can have significant and lasting effects if unresolved - as a result people can respond very differently to what has occurred. People may experience a range of emotional, psychological and physical problems as a result of being harmed and the impacts may not always be evident in their actual behaviour.
