Trauma is a manifold challenge. It is more than the intrusive thoughts and memories which won't be silent, the constant desire for solitude to avoid triggers, the irritability and frustration, or the heart-pounding 'every-second-is-an-eternity' panic. Frequently, individuals who have experienced trauma face secondary injuries, whether as a result of their symptoms or because of support systems which fail to be supportive. Then, there is the alienation: a sense that one no longer 'fits in' with others for many potential reasons. Perhaps the most challenging part, beyond all else, is the sense that you are no longer yourself.
Therefore, trauma is complex and requires a flexible provider and a broad spectrum of approaches. Together with your own drive to heal as much as you can, a good therapist will help you to break down the process into manageable and recognizable pieces: stabilizing with skills, reducing activation through exposure, reestablishing identity, and more.
It can be hard to believe that recovery is possible when you feel so deeply buried in the awfulness. You can get better, though. There is a path which others have walked before you, and you don't have to walk it alone. Feel welcome to contact me or to visit my website. It would be my honor to be part of your journey.
