Posted by mayfaircounsellingca on October 25th, 2022

Each person deals with emotional trauma differently. But the journey to overcome it is unique. What works for one may not work for another. After all, everyone has different life stories. Everyone develops their values, beliefs, and behaviors. So, in that case, relying on a Trauma Specialist in Calgary SW will be a for that person.

And this has a great weight when anyone needs to overcome a traumatic situation which can develop for several reasons, such as:

• Termination of a relationship
• Loss of loved ones
• Physical, sexual, or mental harassment
• abusive relationships
• Humiliating situations
• Assaults and Kidnappings
• Abandonment in childhood
• Life-threatening situations
• Drastic changes, such as the separation of parents in childhood
• accidents
• Exposure to extremely difficult situations, such as extreme poverty

Signs of emotional trauma

Most of the time, no one remembers the trauma experienced because the emotional brain creates a barrier, a defense mechanism to protect everyone.

Most people are afraid to face and relive that pain. But this only exacerbates the problem, because when no one accepts their history, they cannot stay away from it.

Check out some effects that trauma can generate:

Emotional

• Hopelessness, the feeling of incompetence, and powerlessness
• Inability to feel happy and enjoy small moments of joy
• Fault
• Anxiety and Depression
• Panic attacks
• Lack of self-love and self-confidence
• Difficulty sharing feelings and thoughts
• Rage and Fear

Behavioral

® Addictions like chemicals, alcohol, gambling, food, and shopping

® Self-Saboteur and Self-Destructive Behaviors

® Social isolation or social phobia

® Personal carelessness

® Fatigue

® Difficulty parenting and maintaining a romantic relationship

® Insomnia

Cognitive

• Memory failure
• Losing track of time frequently
• Lack of concentration
• Negative thoughts
• Lack of sexual desire or contact
• Difficulty making decisions

How to overcome trauma from the past?

(A)  Seek expert help

When anyone is unable to overcome a trauma, whatever it may be, the help of a Trauma Specialist in Calgary SW can be very significant. One of these supports can be found in hypnotherapy. This therapy focused on the practice of hypnosis. It is very effective for people who suffer from various traumas, such as separation, betrayal, and loss of loved ones, among others.

(B)  Believe in self-confidence

Trauma does not define anyone's essence. When a person has low self-esteem and nothing to change it, they diminish the love and make room for pain. Try to remember the positive points, the unique qualities, and the characteristics that only they have. Take time to do things they enjoy, say "no" and put yourself first!

Gradually, this will become a habit and self-confidence will be the main strength to overcome the trauma.

(C)  Find a safe harbor

Inferior feelings will arise and you need a “haven” to disconnect from them. It’s all about balance. Find something that brings relief to a person’s life.

Conclusion

You have to respect your limits, understand your pain, and give yourself the chance to be happy again. You are not your trauma and it is possible to go back to who you were before it - or even an even better person.
