Trauma and Loss

Traumatic experiences often involve a threat to life or safety, but any situation that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and alone can be traumatic, even if it doesn’t involve physical harm.

Traumatic experiences often involve a threat to life or safety, but any situation that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and alone can be traumatic, even if it doesn't involve physical harm. It's not the objective facts that determine whether an event is traumatic, but your subjective emotional experience of the event. The more frightened and helpless you feel, the more likely you are to be traumatised.

Experiencing trauma in some shape or form is a fact of modern life. Most of us have been traumatised in one way or another. Trauma and Loss PictureThe source and consequences of trauma are extensive and often hidden from our awareness. These can include feelings of loss resulting from; natural disasters; exposure to violence; accidents; falls; serious illnesses; medical and dental procedures; difficult births and even high levels of stress during pregnancy or the loss of a loved one.

Emotional and psychological trauma is the result of extraordinarily stressful events that shatter your sense of security, leaving you feeling helpless and vulnerable in a dangerous world.

Panic attacks / reactions can be a symptomatic response to trauma and loss. I believe that we have the potential as humans to overcome great diversity. Counselling provides a space to help you identify particular thoughts that can trigger a panic reaction, so you feel less overwhelmed and more able to control panic attacks, so you no longer fear them.

Stress and anxiety by and large, involves too much: too many pressures that demand too much of you physically and psychologically.

Everyone has arguments and everyone disagrees with their partners, family members and others close to them from time to time.
