How Adult Therapy Can Help You Grow
Therapy can be an incredibly healing process for all people, but especially trauma survivors. Trauma can be defined in many ways and does not have to be something that has happened to you in one event. It could be a series of events, like living in a home with chronic arguing, manipulation, and infidelity. It could also occur from what has not been given to you, such as affection, time, or emotional support. The commonalities are the scars that it leaves, feeling scared, numb, and disconnected from the world around you. It doesn’t matter if it happened yesterday or 10 years ago; when it happens to someone, it changes them forever.
There are many different types of trauma that can impact our lives. Some of the most common include:
Traumatic loss
Traumatic loss is the death of a loved one, a break-up or divorce, the loss of a job or the realization that one will never have children.
Physical Trauma
Partner betrayal can be one of the most traumatic experiences a person can go through. It can leave them feeling shocked, confused, and alone. Betrayal can come in many different forms, such as infidelity, lying about important things, being emotionally distant, or neglecting your needs.
Narcissistic Abuse
Narcissistic abuse is a type of emotional abuse that is often inflicted by someone who has narcissistic personality disorder. This type of abuse can be very damaging to the victim and can leave them feeling isolated, alone, and helpless.
What to do if you think you might be suffering from trauma
If you think you might be suffering from trauma, there are a few things you can do to help yourself. Firstly, it is important to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor like Maric Zinke. Talking to someone who is trained in helping people deal with it can be incredibly helpful in managing and healing it.
Secondly, try to find support from friends or family members. Talking about what you’re going through can help you feel more connected to the people around you and less alone. Additionally, exercise and relaxation techniques can be helpful in managing symptoms. Exercise releases endorphins that can help improve your mood, and relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation can help you calm down and de-stress.
How therapy can help trauma survivors heal and move on with their lives
Trauma can have a devastating impact on the lives of those who experience it. It can make it difficult to function at work or school. However, therapy can help trauma survivors heal and move on with their lives.
Professional therapy can be incredibly helpful in managing and healing trauma. The therapist will provide a safe and supportive environment for the trauma survivor to talk about what they have been through. This can be incredibly healing in itself, as it allows survivors to process their trauma in a safe and confidential setting.
In addition to talking about their trauma, survivors often find relief from exercise and relaxation techniques. Exercise releases endorphins that can help improve mood, and relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation can help trauma survivors calm down and de-stress.
Lastly, therapy provides a safe place for survivors to talk about their feelings. Often trauma leads people to feel scared or numb, so being able to have a nonjudgmental conversation with someone who truly cares about your well-being can be immensely helpful.
Adult therapy provides survivors with a place to process trauma in a safe, supportive environment. It not only allows people to talk about their feelings about it but also helps them through exercise and relaxation techniques, as well as provides the opportunity for survivors to voice how they are feeling without fear of judgment.
