Watch the video to see what you can expect from treatment for your trauma

Trauma is more common than you might realise

Trauma itself occurs as a result of shocking or violent experiences such as physical, psychological, emotional abuse and sexual assault. It can also occur through severe childhood neglect or as a result of a sudden loss of a loved one or a pet.

Trauma is a universal experience that has no boundaries and can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic standards, ethnicity, geography or sexual orientation.

Natural disasters and experiencing war can also cause emotional trauma that lives on within the person well after the events are over.

What Creates the Trauma Response?

Everyone will experience trauma in their own way, but the trauma response within everyone will result from the unaddressed emotionally charged experiences that become deeply imbedded and trapped within the persons psyche.

This means the person will continue to feel as if they are reliving the trauma over and over again, well after the traumatic experiences as ended.

Health Issues from Trauma

According to Dr Gabor Mate’ a world leading expert in childhood trauma and addiction says a person will shut down emotionally when they have experienced on going trauma.

Mate’ says that the trauma response not only impacts a persons mental health, but it can also lead to long term health issues such as autoimmune disorders, as well as other serious health issues like cancers later in life.

Distraction from Trauma

The depth of pain inside a person from trauma can permeate through their mind, body and spirit.

The pain from the residual trauma can be so difficult for some people that they will do anything to distract themselves from the suffering.

Addictive behaviours are one of the most common ways that people deal with the pain from the past trauma. Drug, alcohol, food, shopping, gambling and sex are typical self destructive patterns that people use as a way to distract themselves from what’s going on inside.

Mental Health Issues

Anxiety, depression and panic attacks can all be signs of unconscious trauma response.

Low self esteem, lacking self worth, not feeling good enough or lovable and a general feeling of hopelessness can also be a result trauma.

The inability to set healthy boundaries and recognize a persons own needs or express them in healthy way are another result from ongoing trauma from childhood.

An inability to connect or commit to intimate relationships or a feeling of restlessness or general dissatisfaction within relationships, can also be a result of the abuse a person has experienced from those primary carer’s in life.

The experiences of on going high levels of stress in childhood creates a sense of disease within the mind, body and spirit of the person.
