Traumatic events are unexpected, can cause severe distress, and are usually uncontrollable. Unique backgrounds and life experiences can cause people to react to traumatic incidents differently. An event causing great suffering in one person could leave another entirely unaffected. Everyone has a unique way of processing their trauma. When this doesn’t happen, problems occur. In fact, unhealed trauma can impact other areas of your life.
It’s normal to experience changes after a traumatic event. However, it’s important to know what signs to look out for that may require professional trauma treatment. If trauma is causing you to struggle daily or in relationships, it’s imperative to seek treatment. Bayview Recovery is a drug rehab and mental health treatment center in Tacoma, Washington.

Unhealed Trauma
Trauma can greatly impact you and leave lasting effects. If not properly addressed, unhealed trauma can cause complicated medical conditions and create issues throughout your life. Trauma therapy services can help you address the traumatic event that occurred in your life and provide the tools you need to cope. Traumatic events can leave you shocked and horrified. However, it’s possible to move forward with the right help. Left unaddressed, trauma can manifest in flashbacks and nightmares, forcing you to continuously relive the event.
Struggling with mood swings or confusion are common effects of unhealed trauma, which can make performing daily tasks challenging. Over time, emotional difficulties can completely diminish the quality of your life. Your relationships and self-worth may deteriorate when you live with the effects of unhealed trauma. Examples of emotional complications that occur from unhealed trauma include:
- Irritability
- Shock
- Guilt
- Shame
- Anger
- Anxiety
- Unbearable fear
Unhealed trauma can leave you waiting for the next potential traumatic event. Seeking trauma therapy services can help you take your life back and move forward.

Trauma can cause post-traumatic stress disorders or PTSD. PTSD is a disorder that can increase the risk of substance abuse as people try to manage their symptoms of PTSD by self-medicating using substances.
Unfortunately, substance abuse makes the effects of unhealed trauma worse. A dual diagnosis treatment program can address your unique situation and customize a plan to meet your specific needs.
