Healing the Nervous System From Trauma: Somatic Experiencing
Spending time doing “normal” things can help you feel like you’re moving toward a more normal life once again.
On the other hand, you don’t need to try to do so many things you have no time at all to think about your trauma. You might try designating a specific time to think about it, process emotions and grieve. You may eventually learn how to ‘save’ emotions or thought that pop up throughout your day for you to go over during your designated time.
