Psychological Trauma is not some thing that most care to talk about regularly, in fact, most of the time it becomes the invisible monster that no one admits to seeing, you know, something like the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes. The fact is that the side responses can result in a post traumatic disorder, depression and many other flavors of anxiety and dissociation. No one brings it up because most people do feel some of the symptoms and they are often fearful of who they can confide with. Most of the time, they do nothing.

These people think that no one is the wiser, yet, they will be noticed to have one too many drinks on most occasions, or have this very strong attraction to prescription drugs that is suddenly being noticed.  No one has a problem talking about those problems. The emotional chain of events that led them to these situations is never mentioned, at least not too loudly. You can’t deal with what is being avoided. You can not change the emotional meaning of the pivotal event or events if all of the energy is going to block it all out.

In order to help ease the foot hold of psychological pain, you must feel enough trust to be treated and there must exist some one to extend a caring hand in earnest. You need to feel the pain again, but in a safe place, in order to gain control over the trauma and use the tools that will then be set in place and in motion any time something triggers one of your trauma cues. As you take your first steps, you will learn relaxation sequences, pain management and most important, ways to desensitize your self from the images that seemed to be imprinted in your memory. Yes, you will never be the same, but consider that you are now the updated and the more improved  version
