Therapy For Trauma

Living with trauma can feel so emotionally distressing. Every hour of the day challenging leaving you with barely any resources for other areas of your life. Triggers and symptoms can vary from person to person and from such a wide scale of experiences. We all experience trauma on different levels. This can be moving home to childhood abuse. Key characteristics that remain are stress and fear. Some of the indicators and effects may be: a spectrum of physical symptoms, psychosomatic symptoms, racing thoughts, emotional dysregulation, reactive behaviours, nightmares, flashbacks, dysfunctional relationships or lack of boundaries. It may be that a person will overthink the events and feel things like guilt, shame or embarrassment. Another layer could be that they have gotten stuck in living in survival mode. All of which can effect every part of life in many ways.

Trusting a Therapist with issues like this can be terrifying but can be a foundation of building a life worth living. To begin with building up positive coping strategies as well as self care techniques can be helpful so that the client can manage the difficult parts of the sessions but also begin applying these to their lives too. Exploring current difficulties and triggers can reveal a lot. Revisiting events and reflecting on what made you vulnerable, how the circumstances played out and what was occurring for you can be beneficial in many ways. Another key factor is learning how to have much healthier relationships plus work on building a positive mindset. This is an extremely delicate area to work with and there are layers of deep work generally around core beliefs, identity, processing emotions, inner child work and much more.
