It’s going to vary for each individual but the basics of handling immediate trauma are:

1. Establish physical safety first. Do whatever you can do to cover physical safety. Take back control over your environment and change it so you can feel safe. 

2. Grounding skills - Techniques you can do to calm your nervous system and facilitate present-moment awareness.

- meditation

- sensory grounding (essential to engage the senses)

- nature exposure

- self-hypnosis

- physical anchoring (moving your body to bring awareness to your body and give mind temporary relief)

3. Distraction techniques when emotions become too intense. This is where your Tetris or other games come in. The goal is to redirect attention to something neutral or non-threatening to let your nervous system recover.

4. Social support and professional services

5. Good Self-Care rituals

- gym, meditation, diet, sleep, sauna, nature exposure, gratitude journaling, etc.

6. Self-Compassion, positive thought-looping, reframing, etc.

7. Allowing yourself to mindfully reflect and contemplate. I recommend doing this step last because most people spiral instead of reflecting. If reflecting is too intense, then go back to mastering previous steps.

If you are worried about whether I have trauma, I don't. All my personal history is resolved and irrelevant now.

You are so full of bullshit, you know that?

You and UnbornTao are getting used to Leo. 

You don't have to do it this way, you know that ?

Also while we are at it and this is completey off topic but I want to express this. Carl and my buddy UnbornTao are really getting used to Leo. I sense a lot of arrogance in their writing .I mean they are brilliant but tone down the "too cool for school " thingy with Leo.  He has no time to post neat language stuff so he just speaks in a language that a kid can understands .like imagine the pressure he has to mod a bunch of kids basically and handle trolls and create content etc.

Another thing which I have to spit publicly is Natasha is too rigid. She says its not personal but that she tries to keep a healthy atmosphere and high quality discourses between members. But I do think sometimes she takes it personally. She erases almost any comments targeted at her with cristism. She is over-moding. Nothing personal against her or Carl or anyone but I'm not satisfied with this behaviour in all honesty . Just expressing myself.
