Trauma Therapy
If painful emotions from your past are preventing you from living the life that you deserve, then you might be suffering from unresolved trauma. Abuse and neglect in childhood can lead to unresolved trauma and be the root of these negative and painful emotions. New therapy approaches have transformed the field of trauma therapy. The negative symptoms of trauma are now being resolved through counseling in ways that was not possible in the past. You can feel a release from the past and be free of the traumatic memories that are the source of your emotional pain.
Many people aren’t certain if they are in need of trauma treatment. Here are some questions that will help you identify a need for trauma therapy…
Are you easily disturbed by normal life events?
Do you feel that you are lacking self-confidence or fear rejection?
Do you feel anxious or stressed on a regular basis?
Do you avoid social activities?
Do you feel lonely or have feelings of sadness?
Do you feel hopeless or worthless?
Do you have nightmares or flashbacks connected to past negative events?
Are you afraid of criticism?
Do you easily become angry or have difficulty controlling your emotions?
Do you feel like you want to escape from situations?
Do you use alcohol, drugs, shopping, gambling, pornography, over working or other methods to numb your emotional pain?
Do you have test or performance anxiety?
Do you have difficulty forming or maintaining intimate relationships?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, there might be a solution. Unresolved trauma, abuse, or neglect are often the root of these problems, and trauma therapy can be the answer.
Unresolved traumatic memories can be activated by current events in life, which can intensify levels of disturbance and interfere with relationships and enjoyment of life.
