Learn How To Heal From Trauma

By Gregory Foster


A person who has been struggling from trauma can often be defined as being numb. When this is more severe they will feel dead without any emotions. You become disconnected from everything else. You can't become depressed because there are no emotions. Learning how to heal from trauma and close related conditions will help get you to your usual state of mind.

When a person does not deal with their emotions and their feelings, they won't be able to live a lifestyle. They won't lead relationships which are healthy. It is not easy to have personal relationships when you have been through an abusive relationship of your own. You will find that you have difficulty with intimacy, which is obviously necessary when you are in a personal relationship.

You will have difficulty concentrating and staying focused which can be difficult when you are in the work place and dealing with clients and colleagues. Many people who come back from the battlefield as soldiers won't be employed because they find this to be so disturbing. They find that when they have flashbacks, it can be so overwhelming that they are not able to cope.

One also has to look for someone that they can relate to. This connection is very important because eventually the individual will want to open up. They will want to feel that they are in a safe space and that they have built up a good relationship with the therapist. This is said to be one of the most aspects of therapy.

Many children prefer not to reveal what is happening in their lives. In fact, when they are being abused, they are threatened not to confide in anyone. This can sit with them for many years. In their adult years, they can be affected with depression and anxiety. They may turn to addictive substances because this is something that brings them comfort.

There are also times when things get so bad that the individual will want to turn to other forms of comfort which will help him or her to escape from everything else. Addictions, such as drugs and alcohol can lead to other things, and this is obviously going to complicate matters further. This is why one needs to begin with the therapy process in the early days.

It is important to have regular sessions, especially in the initial stages. A lot of people are afraid of their feelings. This is obviously understandable. For example, when a person is exposed to certain feelings, they tend to run away from them. This will happen time and time again. It is called hit and run feelings. However, it is something to run through with the therapist.

Patients will also experience a range of feelings, such as experiencing waves of emotions. Some people will have feelings every so often, but will prefer to block them out, until they are hit with them again. Others, will experience these feelings in the form of a rollercoaster. This is something that will work on alongside the therapist. There may be various reasons why they act in this way. The therapist will work on different methods in order to help them talk, and therefore progress and heal from what they are going through.
