Healing from trauma and abuse involves employing both somatic and cognitive techniques to uncover the root cause of the issue. This process is pivotal to avoid living in a perpetual state of fight, flight, or freeze, where your brain attempts to shield you from perceived threats, deterring you from your true self.
Your brain, wired to shield you from pain, often creates protective mechanisms. However, true healing from trauma occurs at a profound level within your nervous system. Trauma encapsulates an interplay between your brain, mind, and body.
By revisiting your past, we seek to comprehend the origins of dysfunction, usually rooted in childhood experiences unprocessed by your memory centre, the hippocampus. Instead, these memories linger in the fear centre, the amygdala, perpetuating a constant fight-or-flight mode, impacting your autonomic nervous system.
This perpetual state of being can significantly impact your health, potentially leading to stress-related illnesses. Processing past trauma allows your body, which harbours these memories at a cellular level, to acknowledge challenges without triggering dysregulation or fear responses. It’s about recognising difficulties without feeling overwhelmed, maintaining a balanced energetic state.
Healing trauma and abuse encourages the brain, mind, and body to acknowledge life’s challenges without letting them overpower you, fostering a state of emotional equilibrium. Consequently, when facing difficult individuals or events, including encounters with narcissists, you can navigate these situations from your authentic self without the need for protective mechanisms. We effectively timestamp these deep wounds into the past.
My approach to trauma healing integrates various modalities, including polyvagal theory, Brainspotting, positive psychology techniques, hypnotherapy, somatic belief reprogramming, internal family systems (parts psychotherapy), breathwork, and trauma-informed coaching.
Heal from Trauma & Abuse with somatic & cognitive techniques and get to the route cause of the problem. Healing from trauma and abuse so as not to be permanently living in fight, flight or freeze trying to protect you from what your brain believes to be the biggest danger and move into your true self is life changing.
Your brain wants to protect you from pain and puts up protector parts to do this. Healing from trauma allows transformation at a deep nervous system level. Trauma is a brain, mind and body experience.
I take you back to your past to understand what is causing the disfunction which is almost always from childhood experiences that have not been timestamped into the past by the hippocampus which is your memory centre and it keeps this in the amygdala which is the fear centre and keeps you in a constant state of fight, flight or freeze sending these messages to your autonomic nervous system.
Living in this state constantly is very unhealthy and can cause stress which can in turn cause you to be unwell and cause disease. If we go back and process the trauma this enables the body (which holds trauma in cellular memory) not to react with dysregulation or in a state of fear but it can see the situations are challenging but you are not in DANGER.
Healing trauma and abuse will help the brain, mind and body recognise the difficulties in life but allow you to feel the emotion but not let it overtake you and stay in a balanced energetic state. So if you are dealing with a difficult person or event or a narcissist you can do this whilst being in our true self without the need for the protector parts to show up because we have timestamped that deep wound into the past.
I use many modalities to heal from trauma, and incorporate poly vagal theory, Brainspotting, positive psychology techniques, hypnotherapy, somatic belief reprogramming, internal family systems (parts psychotherapy), breathwork and trauma informed coaching.
