Very true. The same also applies when trauma refers to the symptoms of anxiety. Fearing the feelings of fear. Many people on this forum, including me, don't necessarily live in an environment where problems, whatever they may be, continue to cause anxiety.

Any issue that contributes to the development of anxiety disorder may well have long since been forgotten about. Their biggest struggle is now with the symptoms of anxiety and their intense dislike of feeling very uncomfortable.

Like your post says, problems need to be faced and overcome before healing from the months or years of continuous trauma can begin. Otherwise, anxiety levels [nerves sensitised] keep getting topped up.

For those that struggle with the symptoms and stuck in a continuous cycle, acceptance of all symptoms allows the mind and body to desensitise and recover because they give up that struggle and stop worrying about how they feel and no longer topping up stress levels.

If you are in a stressful environment and unable to take a timeout, anxiety magnifies those stress levels. Small issues that you used to be able to handle with ease and without a second thought now seem huge showstoppers. This was my experience when I took myself back to work and knew the only way out was to go through it and accept all that anxiety could throw at me. Over time, I desensitised and confidence increased. Those big issues that filled me with so much dread and negativity eventually died down and was able to cope so much easier. Normal service eventually resumed.

I realise that your circunstances are different to mine but certain that acceptance can still play a part in toning down the levels of stress you are feeling.

I hope that you can find a solution to your ongoing trauma so that full healing can begin and for peace of mind and body to return.

Best wishes ❤️
