Trauma Counselling
Trauma counselling is a specific form of counselling which helps individuals who have experienced traumatic events, overcome the immobilising experiences of fear, panic and ”re-living” of the traumatic events. Events that threaten a person’s basic safety in the world are deemed traumatic and usually involve the person in a situation where they were powerless to resist attack or where they felt at the mercy of another person’s abuse of power.
Traumatic responses can develop into a cycle called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder where the person ‘re-lives’ the psychological experiences and memory of the trauma. It is important to receive trauma counselling in order to avoid this syndrome worsening and to loosen the grip of intolerably painful memories that keep you caught in the past.
