Getting Rid of Bad Habits When You Have Unprocessed Trauma

Q: Dear Todd, how to get rid of bad habits when you have unprocessed trauma in your body?

TODD ANSWERS: Every time we repeat a bad habit we strengthen those neural pathways making it more automatic. But, every time we don’t act on that habit, we are creating new pathways and strengthening our new better habits. The best way to both to heal from trauma and create new habits is to bring mindfulness to our actions, which means to sit with and observe our trauma/cravings and make peace with them.

Be patient and kind with yourself, try to let go of expectations and allow yourself to be fully in this moment and just sit with and accept fully whatever arises.
