Anxiety can be a symptom of trauma. When we experience trauma, we form memories of unsafe and threatening situations. Even if we think we have processed these memories, they can be triggered by sights, smells, sounds, or random thoughts, leading to feelings of anxiety. Trauma can also cause people to feel triggered and anxious when they are out in certain places, even if those places are objectively safe. This association between trauma and certain locations can make people feel less safe anywhere they go. This lack of safety and personal power contributes to anxiety about their own safety, the safety of others, and the uncertainty of future events. It is important to recognize that anxiety can stem from unresolved trauma or trauma that has lasted for a long time. Dealing with anxiety and its triggers requires recognizing that some of the feelings are not accurate in the current context. It is important to explore where these feelings come from and process the underlying trauma to fully or better resolve the anxiety and feelings of unsafeness and lack of personal power.
