"Words can't accurately convey the anguish that a traumatized person experiences. It has an intensity that defies description. Many traumatized people feel that they live in a personal hell to which no other human could possibly share. 

Here is a condensation of what severely traumatized individuals struggle with: 

I don't know of one thing I don't fear. I fear getting out of bed in the morning. I fear walking out of my house. I have great fears of death...not that I will die someday, but that I am going to die within the next few minutes. I fear anger.. my own and everyone else's, even when anger is not present. I fear rejection and/or abandonment. I fear success and failure. I get pain in my chest, and tingling and numbness in my arms and legs everyday. I almost daily experience cramps ranging from menstrual-type cramps to intense pain. I have headaches, I feel nervous all the time. I have shortness of breath, racing heart, disorientation and panic. I'm always cold, and I have dry-mouth, and trouble swallowing. I have no energy or motivation, and when I do accomplish something, I feel no sense of satisfaction. I feel overwhelmed, confused, lost, helpless and hopeless daily. I have uncontrollable outbursts of rage and depression." 

Waking the Tiger, healing trauma. Peter A. Levine.

In my estimation as a Christian, complex trauma with such extreme symptoms cannot be healed without qualified therapy. Christ will walk through it with us, enlighten, encourage, inspire and soothe the soul in desperation as He promised -Isaiah 41:10

 ‘Do not fear, for I am with you;

Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,

Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
