Trauma Therapy
What is Trama?
Many people think that trauma and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) only occur among people who have gone to war or been the victims of violent assault. Rather, trauma is any event that disrupts our sense of well-being and stability. Trauma can be a bad breakup, witnessing a car crash, or suddenly losing a loved one. Trauma can even occur second-hand when someone close to you is traumatized.
What are the symptoms?
-
Shock, denial, or disbelief.
-
Confusion, difficulty concentrating.
-
Anger, irritability, mood swings.
-
Anxiety and fear.
-
Guilt, shame, self-blame.
-
Withdrawing from others.
-
Feeling sad or hopeless.
-
Feeling disconnected or numb.
How can Trauma Therapy help?
At Mindology, you’ll first gain a comprehensive understanding of trauma and how it has affected your life. You’ll learn the mechanisms of trauma- and stressors- related disorder; also understand the way that it disrupts your nervous system’s ability to go back to baseline. You’ll learn how trauma affects your relationships, health, and behaviors. Then you’ll learn ways to reconnect with your body, your feelings, and those closest to you.
