The Basics Of Trauma Healing San Diego CA

By Stephen Reed


When someone has been through a lot of trauma in their lives, it can be difficult to navigate their way through the basic activities on a day to day basis. One often just wants to stay in bed the whole day. It can be difficult to manage a home, see to the children and go to work. Trauma healing San Diego CA is necessary when someone has been suffering in this way.

Not dealing with the trauma will lead to further complications in one's life. The person may turn to drugs or alcohol. This can provide them with a sense of comfort. It can numb the pain that they are experiencing. They will take their rage out on their family members. They will withdraw and isolate themselves from family and friends. They will become depressed and anxious.

Often, when this becomes severe, one is not in touch with reality. This is referred to as depersonalization. The person will start to dissociate. They won't feel as if they are themselves and they will feel as if they are living in a dream. They will begin to panic during this surreal experience. They may also have panic attacks and become depressed during this time.

One needs to deal with these feelings and emotions. It can be difficult to talk to someone that you don't know. It takes a lot of courage to face your fears, but it can make a big difference to your life. When you are traumatized like this, you will have trouble coping on a day to day basis, and you may start to fall apart, becoming isolated, and withdrawing from everyone.

There are many ways in dealing with the healing process. Some people are less expressive, and they benefit from the creative process. The mind and body work together, and one also benefits from working non-verbally. They will find that they feel a greater sense of freedom once they start to express themselves in a more creative way.

The process does not always go smoothly, and one has to be prepared for this. Often, one feels as if they have had a good session. Other times, they will feel as if they are more depressed. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It can often get worse before one finds that things start to improve. One can also find that there are other programs to get involved with as well.

Some people have the courage to get involved with group therapy. For someone who is able to face their fears, this can make a big difference. They are able to interact with others who have been through a lot of trauma. This gives them a sense of identity and they will have more compassion for someone like this. A connection is formed and they begin to form a relationship.

Children who have been abused, may use a lot of dark colors in their art projects. Family members may not be smiling. There are often no doors or windows on the family home which they draw. Their behavior and emotions start to change as they begin to draw and paint. They will also complete their art projects very quickly compared to a child who is very healthy and stable.
