Trauma therapy will help you, or a loved one, neutralise a traumatic experience or experiences which may be holding them back in their daily life.
What is Trauma?
As a human givens therapist, I can use a simple, non-invasive technique to help you or your loved one process a trauma. There are a couple of ways this can be done and this will be discussed with the therapist; the aim is to neutralise the ongoing impact that trauma can leave.
A trauma is an event, series of events, or set of circumstances perceived by an individual as being harmful or life-threatening. While the experience is individual, the experience of trauma can cause lasting negative effects. If experienced in childhood, the effects can last long into adulthood affecting health, education and overall achievement. If the results are severe the person can go on to develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
How can it affect me?
Historic trauma can affect a person’s life in a number of negative ways if left untreated. The effects might include:
- poor quality of sleep with nightmares or general unrest during the night. This will then increase anxiety,
- avoiding doing things they would normally enjoy, and this avoidance can change their life significantly,
- becoming irritable, distant or cold in personal and professional relationships,
- flashbacks.
Processing the event or events can help to improve life dramatically and allow the person to feel some sense of calm again.
