Trauma Therapy :Help is at hand
What is trauma? As per the American Psychological Association, Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea. While these are life threatening events, that leave an impact on the mind and psychology of a person, it has also been frequently observed that, emotional neglect and emotional abuse, which are not physical threats to a person’s life but can nonetheless be stress and dysregulate the physical body to the extent of causing many physical symptoms (Selavam Raja). If unresolved for a long time, the trauma can leave serious psychophysiological symptoms in the body, leading to many medical conditions.

What is PTSD? We have often heard of the term PTSD, it is simply called Post Traumatic stress disorder.
Many times powerful incidents such as an accident, a violent attack, an abuse, an illness, a natural disaster, may leave us with feelings of sadness, anxiety, depression or avoiding situations that remind you of the trauma.
PTSD is the presence of these symptoms, even long after the incidence/event has been over.

Healing is a process of turning towards your past, looking in the eye, reducing the weight and burden that you have been carrying, so that you are defined less by your history and have greater choices about your future, that define you and are a part of you
The burden of a traumatic childhood can be like a bag of heavy bricks that you have been carrying, eventually changing the shape of your spine.
