Understanding Trauma: What It Is and Why It Matters
Sometimes in our lives, really tricky situations happen, which can have a lasting impact on us. It is not always possible to know how things will affect us, or why. Sometimes the emotional impact gets less, and we can put it behind us. If you are finding it hard to move forward, perhaps you need some help to process it so that the emotional response becomes less troublesome.
A trauma can be a one-off event or several similar events. These then cause us to react in ways we don’t understand. We may not even know that the way we react to something is linked to a certain experience. You might have found that you are struggling to sleep, or perhaps find yourself being very aware of what is happening around you all the time. Along with being super sensitive to everything that happens, or the way people respond to you.

The Good News: Trauma Is Treatable
You don’t have to live with the weight of past trauma. With the right support, it’s possible to feel safe, calm, and in control again.
As a Human Givens Therapist, I use a proven, non-invasive approach called the Rewind Technique. It’s a gentle, safe, and effective method for processing trauma. There is no need to relive or talk through the details in depth unless you choose to.
The aim is to help your brain reprocess the memory so that it no longer triggers overwhelming emotions.
What You Can Expect from Therapy
The rewind technique will help to neutralise some of your trickier responses to situations. This will help you to feel calmer and more in control, and then you can start rebuilding your life again. If you have stopped being really being present with your family, or your children have become a bit more wary of you, it will help you to feel more connected to them and calmer.
Therapy also focuses on helping you meet your emotional needs. As humans we have 9 emotional needs. These include — things like connection, purpose, safety, control, and autonomy — which trauma can often disrupt.
