Effective ways to heal or at least reduce the symptoms of trauma include: engaging in physical exercises or other sports, practicing journaling, mindful techniques, and/or self-talk. Engaging in your favorite hobbies or other creative activities might also improve physiological and psychological outcomes. However,  processing trauma on your own may be difficult, never mind the effect of the intensity of your trauma. At this point, you should seek someone you trust and are ready to open up to. It could be your best friend, a family member, or a support group.
