Trauma has nearly become a ‘normal’ part of our existence. Hardly a day goes by without us either witnessing or experiencing murder, carnage, rape, physical assault, verbal abuse, and other violent crimes. Everyone knows someone who has been through tremendous trauma at some point in their lives, but in certain circumstances, the magnitude of trauma is so great that it impacts our psyche.

The healing process following a traumatic event can take weeks, months, or even years for most individuals. Simply because the mental wound, similar to a physical wound, requires time to heal. At first, the wound might be very painful and bleeding, then it forms a scab, and eventually, it heals, but almost always it leaves behind a scar. Recovery times vary from one person to the next, and no one should feel bad or ashamed if it takes them longer than others to ‘heal’.

After a traumatic encounter, your stress levels will increase severely, and you will be irritable, probably suffer from insomnia or experience nightmares, have difficulty shutting off at night and you will most certainly avoid similar situations or even ...
... people in some extreme cases. When you start to feel more at ease in your skin, your emotional wound will start to 'heal’, and it only resurfaces when you recall a negative incident.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is just one of the mental conditions that can occur when a person's psyche tries to recover after a trauma, and it gradually develops additional psychological and/or physical symptoms, as well as becoming functionally impaired. Years later, some people still suffer from images or nightmares of the trauma, and they vividly recall what happened as if it were happening right now. In these circumstances, individuals who are experiencing extreme difficulty in coping with their trauma are prescribed trauma counselling by a trained and experienced trauma therapist.

What exactly is trauma?

Trauma is often defined as a scenario or occurrence that exceeds your normal ability to cope with life and causes feelings of hopelessness. Emotional trauma is a ‘psychological wound’ that can be induced by a range of conditions that are usually disturbing, unusual, overwhelming, and frightening.

Trauma can also be caused by different events, situations, and circumstances, and it affects people differently because every individual is truly unique. Most people who go through trauma are still expected to put on a brave face and go about their business as usual, but with the right treatment, anyone can process and even overcome trauma.

It is nearly impossible to protect yourself or your loved ones from trauma, but it is possible to process the physical and psychological consequences thereof, provided you receive treatment from a dedicated and experienced trauma therapist.

How can trauma be effectively treated?

There are many treatment methods accessible today, but it is important to remember that trauma can have both physical and psychological effects on people, therefore it is sometimes necessary to address trauma on both levels. In many cases, psychological therapy is paired with medication, with the latter acting as a biochemical treatment rather than a cellular one.

Trauma, regardless of its source, impacts a person's well-being, health, and safety in such a way that it can lead to the development of incorrect and destructive ideas about themselves and the world around them. A professional trauma therapist, on the other hand, provides untapped doorways to recovery through trauma counselling, which may include a variety of strategies and exercises.

The bottom line is that trauma does not have to be a life sentence because humans have an innate potential to heal both physically and emotionally over time. Although most people cannot bring about their own emotional or spiritual healing, it is possible with the assistance of a qualified trauma therapist.
