Denying Sacrifice Can Defeat A Trauma

Denying sacrifice is a powerful tool in the rebuilding process after a traumatic event. Read on and find out more about it!

Victims of a traumatic experience go through a lot of pain and suffering. The worst thing is that other people’s attitudes towards them often help to make them victims again, and it hurts even more. 

That is why it is so important to pay attention so that one can help them build strength so that they can recover. It really helps people to deny sacrifice.

It is about beginning a journey towards a transformation where the traumatic experience is not what defines the victim. It is possible to do that, but it is not easy. In today’s article you will learn a little about what you can do and how to deal with it.

In addition, we tell more about resilience, which is a powerful tool that can benefit victims. We would like to invite you on that trip.

To deny sacrifice after a traumatic experience

A victim is a person who has been injured, injured or killed as a result of a crime, accident or other incident or acts. The injuries can be physical, mental, social or material. The thing is, one or more parts of a person’s health are affected by it.

People can be victims of many different things. It can be, for example, a natural disaster, a rape, a psychological assault caused by an armed conflict, among many other things.

All of these things create victims. These are people who have to live with one or another type of wound or pain after a traumatic experience. The experience usually involves thoughts, feelings and behaviors that will turn out negative if they are allowed to stay there for a longer period of time.

The purpose of not making them victims is to help them stop feeling like a victim so they can regain control of their lives. It consists in equipping the victim with things that get them out of that state of mind.

Put another way, they should not position themselves as a victim or take advantage of and exaggerate their situation. This is because victims sometimes construct their narratives based on their position as victims, and this should be slowed down so that they can move on and see themselves as more than that.

Stopping victimization is a process that involves an appropriate model of intervention so that the victim can break out of his or her state. For that to happen, someone close to them needs to understand how and why.

In addition, the victim can also participate by working with himself, with or without support. First and foremost, it is done by focusing on their responsibility to take care of themselves.

How to stop the victim’s sacrifice

First of all, the victim must want to get out of his sacrifice. Therefore, one of the first steps is to discover self-sacrifice. By doing so, one can come to see everything from a different perspective and do something about it. Let’s look at some of the ways:

• Pay attention to emotions to understand how they manifest, and gradually take control of them. To do that, it is also necessary to navigate through insight into oneself so that one knows where one is going and how one is feeling.
• Say goodbye to masks. It is necessary to find one’s true self so that one can create an attitude that covers more than the situation that made one a victim.

• Discover self-destructive thoughts and get them stopped. That way you get out of cognitive stagnation.
• Put the passive attitude away. It helps us to act. The idea is that we need to be led to take control of our lives.

Then we can also begin to see everything from a new perspective. A friendlier perspective, where we save ourselves, and begin to show ourselves as we really are, and make use of all that we have to give to others and ourselves. It’s about rebuilding oneself.

It is not an easy task, but we can build it up little by little. To that end, we must take care of our emotional, social, physical, and spiritual worlds. Remember that health is an integral part. And taking control of our lives is tantamount to taking responsibility for ourselves.

The strength of resilience after a traumatic experience

One can cultivate resilience, and bring out the best in oneself through it by refusing sacrifice. It consists in the ability to overcome problems. In other words, it is to face them. It has to do with all areas of your development. Therefore, it is affected both by your biology and the environment around you.

You can use different strategies to improve your resilience. For example, through stories and art, you can build bridges to communication that let you show and understand what is happening to you.

You can also go to group or individual psychotherapy. You can even see it through a so-called “augmented reality”, as suggested by Ibeth Johana Acosta, who specializes in forensic and forensic psychology.

When you rely on your ability to resist, you will be able to turn obstacles into learning experiences. In this way, you detach yourself from a position as a victim and begin to create new narratives that give a more pleasant meaning to your experience.

Cyrulnik and his colleagues go in depth with this topic in their book  Resilience: How to Gain Strength from Childhood Adversity.

Among other things, they emphasize that there is a psychological possibility for a life in victimization processes, and encourage the reader to break through the subject’s psycho-pathologizing view – both from a professional and a personal point of view.

Conclusion on refusing to sacrifice

In short, resilience helps the victim to recover and allows it to experience a more authentic encounter with others and itself.

In addition, it can be conducive to the creation of new narratives that create a meaningful world, full of things to learn and new landscapes. This enriches the world with a new meaning that covers more than the traumatic experience. Doesn’t that sound like a wonderful way to break out?
