Try getting the thoughts out of your head and bring them into your body as feelings,feel them and they will either dissolve for a while and resurface at another time or heal and that will be one of your traumas gone.Ruminating thought are due to all your energy being focused in your head.
To come into the body lie down and focus energy on each part of your body sequentially,start with your feet,wriggle your toes,then tense each foot and release and work up through the legs arms shoulders,chest,stomach,groin etc tensing each part and release.
Ask yourself what are the emotions behind these thoughts?Then try to locate the emotions in each part of the body fear in the stomach,love in the heart,pain in the solar plexus and feel it allow it to be there until it dissipates,don't shut it down or run away from it.Your mind will have calmed down and be empty of thought by now,just do this and you may be able to let go of some of the trauma.Repeat this exercise every time you are top heavy and need to empty your mind.
