Heal traumatic memories and PTSD

Trauma is a BIG word and people sometimes get confused as to the real meaning of trauma.

Trauma expert , Dr Gabor Mate says that trauma is not what has happened to you. It’s not about the event itself. Rather it’s about the IMPACT or meaning that event had on your life.

It’s not always those “major” life events that can result in PTSD but sometimes seemingly “minor” events may cause a lot of unexplained symptoms and anxiety. If left untreated, the effects may remain stored in the body for years and may affect every area of your life.

I am trained in both NNRT and EMDR which has been recommended by NICE here in the UK as a first line treatment for PTSD.

What Is Involved?

The initial phase in working with anyone presenting with trauma / PTSD is always a thorough assessment. This is followed by the “resourcing” or “stabilisation” phase. During which you will taught the techniques to regulate your emotions in order to ensure that you are grounded, stabilised and ready for the processing work which is a key part of EMDR. 

EMDR involves right / left brain stimulation in the form of bilateral eye movements. This helps to process ” stuck or frozen ” trauma in the brain. Processing this trauma removes the emotional charge from the memory and turns it into a ” neutral ” rather than a ” distressing memory.

EMDR is extremely healing and provides tremendous relief to people suffering with intense anxiety. This is due to an overstimulated nervous system. It will help you to find balance and regain some sort of normalcy again after trauma. Sleepless nights are restored and nightmares / flashbacks massively reduced.

You can learn more about EMDR and bilateral eye movement therapy.

Also drawing on methodologies used in inner child healing, depending on the type of trauma you have experienced. I sometimes use regression, inner child healing and gestalt to heal and reframe childhood memories.

Sexual wounding and inner child healing

 

Unresolved trauma has a tendency to show up in our most intimate relationships. Recreating the drama patterns we experienced as a child by attracting emotionally unavailable, co -dependant or abusive partners.

True intimacy involves risk!

Allowing another to see us for who we truly are may be absolutely terrifying and triggering for our wounded inner child. In order to be seen and heard our child becomes reactive, tends to dominate the show and causes us to sabotage the love we so desperately crave.

Sexual trauma may include sexual abuse as well as the more subtle  forms of misuse.

Saying yes when you really wanted to say no, saying yes to get love, saying yes out of duty or obligation, saying yes for fear of being ridiculed. Sexual wounding may lead to promiscuity or sexual shut down and suppression of legitimate sexual needs.

Regression, inner child healing and gestalt combined with EMDR and emotional regulation work can be truly transformational.  Helping you to heal emotionally, re-establish healthy boundaries in your relationships. Redefine intimacy on your own terms and reconnect to the power and authentic pleasure of your natural sexuality.
