Understanding What It Takes To Help People

In order to move past from emotional trauma, you will need to learn to manage the unpleasant feelings and memories that you have for so long, only by discharging the pent-up “fight-or-flight” emotions of these events, will you be able to start regulating those embedded emotions, and can begin to rebuild yourself where you are able to trust other people again.

People may experience physical, emotional, psychological and even behaviour reactions to traumatic events, for the rest of their natural lives if left untreated or unresolved. Some people that have lived through constant or complex trauma that has taken place over many years of abuse/mistreatment. It is common for them to accept these traumatic events as "part of their lives" and avoid therapy that may "drag it all up again" however trauma usually re-emerges through depression, anxiety, stress, substance use issues, hypervigilance, narcissism or many other distortions in relationships such as abandonment or destructive over expectations of relationship boundaries.

Thankfully there are many ways to work through trauma and to learn to cope with and ultimately recover from your trauma and lead a normal life again. Seeking help from a counsellour is probably one of the best options if you do not start to return to normal after a month after the event. Many institutions and programs were wholly ineffective, impractical or outdated in helping people with addictions recover from emotional or psychological traumas.
