PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress, is a disorder that results from unprocessed and unresolved trauma. Pieces of the traumatic experience get suppressed in our psychological system in order for us to continue to cope and survive.
The bits of information that are suppressed include negative conclusions we make about the incident and the emotion that we experienced during the incident, such as fear or anger.
It is this suppressed emotional energy that causes the symptoms - these symptoms are clues trying to get our attention to go back and process the event.
The psychological stress, anxiety & depression that results from experiencing or witnessing or hearing a distressful event, is what creates the disorder.
PTSD can include:
Flashbacks
Intrusive thoughts
Nightmares
Insomnia
Easily startled / "jumpy"
Easily reminded of traumatic event
Sense of "re-living" the event
Avoiding doing things that remind you of the event
Loss of pleasure in activities once enjoyed
Inexplicable fear
Stress, anxiety & depression symptoms
Adrenal Fatigue and more....
PTSD trauma can occur from these events:
Experiences that are very difficult can result in stress, anxiety & depression
PTSD trauma therapy provides a safe environment for you to explore and process your thoughts and feelings about an event, which when psychologically processed, can reduce the disturbing symptoms such as: anger, fear, stress, anxiety & depression.
RESULTS FROM PTSD TRAUMA THERAPY:
People go through life believing that if they don't think about something then it means it doesn't affect them. Not true. People are very good at denying, avoiding, suppressing, repressing and compartamentalizing their "issues".
People slip into "survival" mode rather than living in "thrival" mode. They don't even notice that things are accumulating until they run out of coping capacity. At this point, their issues are spilling over into other parts of their life, especially their relationships. Some people would rather lose a relationship than confront their issues.
Accumulated issues will begin to present with symptoms, such as stress, anxiety & depression. When the symptoms get worse is when people tend to start to pay attention. And when ignored long enough, ptsd could develop.
At this point, exploring one's past experiences and trauma is a good place to start the healing journey.
