Trauma Recovery Counselling/Therapy
Trauma TRecovery isn't a focus on what happened to you (although that's really important) it's how those experiences have affected you now
Trauma recovery has really developed over recent years to help people struggling with the long lasting affects of childhood trauma; physical, emotional, sexual abuse and neglect by parents/carers/other adults but there is unfortunately no quick fix, it can take time to work through and heal, but positive change can be made with the commitment and will to engage in weekly therapy.
Childhood trauma and trauma in general is pretty misunderstood, but it is more common than you think and is devastating. The affects of childhood trauma stretch far and wide into adulthood, affecting everything; relationships, sleeping, how we look after ourselves, how you view and value yourself, work, concentration, sense of self and the list goes on.
Trauma Recovery Counselling or Trauma Therapy is adapted to focus on here and now recovery and healing from how your past experiences have affected your brain in adulthood. It's inevitable you'll be in survival modes of Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn or Submit including Dissociation (flight response), all amazing automatic responses to traumatic experiences you couldn't possible manage as a child, but these responses are still being activated in adulthood as if you're still in the past. Part of the therapy is to identify if these responses are still necessary or not.
I will create a foundation of safety and trust, not rushing ahead to 'fix', but taking time to create an understanding of you and your day to day experiences. Taking into consideration what you want help to change. In the many years experience of helping survivors, your experiences as children created unconscious patterns that follow you through into adulthood. My responsibility to you as your therapist, is to provide a safe space and relationship to explore these patterns. This, along with the specialist knowledge I've gained, will help you uncover how you've been impacted as an adult, so you can make conscious healthy lifestyle choices, rather than 'unconscious no longer helpful' choices.
