Trauma Therapy
Developing resilience from traumatic issues
Most of us need safety, stability and security in everyday life to achieve mental wellbeing. However, if trauma occurs it can impact your thoughts, behaviours and feelings. Our awareness of perceived threats can become heightened due to the lingering aftershock of a prior event. We may be responding to a trauma based on a single event, or a complex trauma where there may have been a number of related events.
Most of us need safety, stability and security in everyday life to achieve mental wellbeing. However, if trauma occurs it can impact your thoughts, behaviours and feelings. We experience trauma when we witness an event that we cannot fully process at the time. Complex trauma is related to a series of events that have been unprocessed. As we have not processed these events, trauma symptoms can appear through psychological, emotional and physical reactions to future, and often seemingly unrelated, events. They change our behaviours and patterns of relating in our present lives. Trauma can cause us to feel overwhelmed or shut down and unable to cope. We can experience anger and patterns of avoidance. Understanding and processing traumatic events can help us avoid high-risk or more severe and long-lasting mental health problems.
