when something has traumatized you in life, do you tell people what traumatized you, or do you keep it to yourself?

I'm an open, honest book for the most part with most people.

Well that is up tp you. Do you feel that if you tell someone that it will make you feel better, it will get it off your chest? Otherwise, you are not ready to share this traumatic event with anyone. There is no exact time or place to open your heart, fight your fears and face your traumatizing past.

Only you can decide the answer to that. You know yourself and hopefully you know who you can trust with the intimate details of your life. I personally think you should tell the ones you love, especially if this source of trauma affects your relationship with them. I can also say from experience that some people are just mean spirited and use our hurts to hurt us back. So, be wise in your decision to share. God Bless you!!

The only person I have told things like that to is my husband. I don't keep anything from my husband though, and that is the way it should be. Because him and I are so close I know that whatever I tell him he will understand and be supportive.

If I am not ready to tell people, then I wont but I do feel that when I write down what happened and how it made me feel, i feel some sort of release. You will know when you are ready to talk about it.

Keeping it inside will always hurt you more, long term. Especially hiding it from loved ones.

I keep it to myself, however, some people have become rich by charging people to tell them about their situations.

take it from some one that has had it happen to them it helps to talk about it with other people to get over it.it will take a while but it helps ro have people that will listen whit out judging you for what happened.

I tend to keep things to myself. Things like that aren't anyone else's problem.
