Trauma, Healing, And Overcoming Life's Challenges
Life is a gift. But overwhelming trauma can wipe out our joy and throw us off the happy path we were once wandering down. Without wondering too hard what it’s really all about.
It's funny how we keep getting messages that we're on the wrong path and pay them no mind. We get 'the flu, but carry on working, People hurt us, but we stay loyal. We hate doing a particular task, but do it anyway because that's just what we're told- it's supposed to be the way things work. We just refuse to see that there's a meaning in the message, a hint that keeps getting louder.
So many people suffer trauma. Whether it’s the trauma of war or natural disasters, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse, or the trauma of relationships and lives ending, very few escape trauma throughout their lives.
What is Gezinta?
Gezinta is a place of deep healing- through understanding trauma, both its debilitating consequences, and the opportunity it offers to step onto a path to healing, where we can finally start making sense of our lives and the world around us.
Gezinta is grit with gravitas. Sometimes we bleat, sometimes we bellow. Or just share our observations. But always, we look for things that make life a little better, a little easier to navigate. Because it's often in those small moments that we find the blessings, the little things that shift our perspective just enough to find our way back to our life's path, and distract us from those detours that take us nowhere.
Trauma changes the victim's life, the way they perceive and interact with the world, and the way they live. With unique backgrounds, personalities, and attitudes, everyone has their own way of coping with or processing trauma. A few shrug it off easily, others relive the experience either in their nightmares or dreams, and many simply put it behind them, only to find its remnants seeping out into daily life.
Trauma often manifests as PTSD, and repeated trauma can turn into C-PTSD over time. It’s only when the symptoms become unbearable that we start to seek healing, having ignored the hints and help offered along the way.
And it’s in the healing process that meaning starts to reveal itself, first in tiny, disjointed bytes of information, somewhere along the way the lightbulb moments start happening, and everything finally starts to make sense. It really does, I promise. Just sit quietly and look for them- they’re there.
Gezinta Meaning
Gezinta is about healing and finding meaning in your life. To take trauma and turn it into something meaningful and positive. There is a Zen proverb that says:
“The obstacle is the path.”
This describes Gezinta: Looking at the traumatic obstacle and finding your path. Not a way back to your old life, a path to who and what you were meant to be, the reason you are on this Earth.
Your old life is in the past. Your future will unfold despite what you do. What matters is the present.
PTSD goes into Healing
Healing goes into finding the meaning of life
In this way, trauma itself gives life meaning too
We've found that trauma leads to healing, and healing helps us find meaning, and look deeper into existential subjects we may otherwise have missed. Underlying trauma, healing, and meaning is the injustice life sometimes dishes up—what we call systemic betrayal.
Reports say that about 2/3 of the global population have been affected by family estrangement. Gezinta offers some insights into what it's all about, how it happened, and how to heal. Consciously or not, everyone wants a little happiness, that inner peace that makes life worth living. Even if we only experience it in small moments, it matters, so we dedicated a whole hub to finding happiness, sometimes in strange places, too.
How Gezinta is structured:
With three main categories, Gezinta is divided into six hubs that all flow into, or out of each other:
Cluster | Articles you can expect | Core Hubs |
I. Trauma & Recovery | Clinical & Foundational Defines injury (PTSD), core healing processes, the path to sustained coping, and specialized relional traums, such as estrangement. | |
II. Meaning, Identity & Aspiration | Existential & Relational Matters: Focuses on meaning-making, identity, and transformation. | |
III. Justice & Betrayal | Legal & Moral Affairs: Focuses on systemic conflict, accountability, and the violation of trust. |
The Structure Of Gezinta In A Venn Diagram
Trauma, whether it's from natural causes or manmade- like abuse or estrangement, robs us of joy and happiness. Usually for far too long.
We seek to understand the injustice or find justice, but eventually, putting one foot in front of the other, we find the path to healing, where the magic starts.
In healing, the meaning of our lives, and
existential meaning starts to emerge, too.
Gezinta’s Path: The Four Pillars Leading to Happiness:
Phase 1: The Origin of the Crisis (Trauma & PTSD)
The Problem: Trauma (manmade or natural) robs us of joy and happiness.
The Drive: The immediate need is to understand the injustice or find justice.
Phase 2: The Search for Understanding (Justice, Power Plays & Betrayal)
The problem: A fog of confusion keeps us frozen in confusion and pain.
The Action: Getting educated to understand what it’s all about.
Phase 3: The Transformative Pivot (Healing)
The Action: Eventually, putting one foot in front of the other, we find the path to healing, where the magic starts.
Phase 4: The Existential Reward (Meaning)
The Result: In healing, the meaning of our lives, and existential meaning starts to emerge, too.
The Center Intersection: Unexplained Joy (Happiness)
The Goal: In healing and finding meaning, happiness starts appearing. This is the culmination: inexplicably joyful minutes, hours, and days as inner peace replaces the inner turmoil of trauma.
But like life, there's no straight line. These themes intersect and collide, coalesce and connect. But every word written on these pages is meant to inspire, to guide, to heal, to uplift. But especially, to lead you to your path where, on your journey, you find that indescribable joy of being you, and the peace that transcends all understanding.
We all get by with a little help from our friends. We hope Gezinta gives you food for thought, information, and inspiration. And from there, may you find what you are looking for within yourself.
