Healing Trauma: It May Be Best To Actively Confront The Trauma



When a trauma occurs, one may respond by blocking emotional responses and thus an immobility response gets triggered which makes one feel frozen, overwhelmed as well as out of control. The feeling is much like experiencing death and the instinctual feelings aroused are truly terrifying. It may lead to a disconnection occurring that takes one away from equilibrium and a balanced way of life.

The bottom line with trauma is that it helps to fundamentally change the person's life and also has an adverse affect on their psychological outlook. The first thing that may come to the mind of a traumatized person is to banish the thoughts from his or her consciousness. However, it is not easy to banish atrocities that may have occurred and healing trauma does require that the person truthfully faces the terrible events in order to get restored to social order and become healed once again.

Acknowledge The Traumatic Experience

There are many arguments put forth that claim that the only way of healing trauma would be to actively confront the trauma. There may be need to provide space for survivors to feel heard as well as to re-experience in a safe environment the terrible events that have traumatized them. However a goal of healing trauma should acknowledge the traumatic experience and integrate it into a kind of personal rebirth.

 



Healing trauma may also contribute to social reconstruction programs and should focus on the victim. The main aim of healing trauma is to give victims a feeling that they once again control their lives, and a victim may need to go through three stages which are providing a safe space, feeling safe once again and getting their memories to be incorporated once again into normal everyday life routines.

Most often, healing trauma will target getting women back to normal life since they may be the biggest victims of traumatic events such as rape or incest. Women are very often humiliated, and may be left feeling that they have no control over the violence being perpetrated on them. Another target group that is often traumatized is children who desperately require healing of their traumas, and lacking in emotional development as well as life experience, are most vulnerable.

Professionals as well as others that provide healing trauma care for victims can very often themselves become overwhelmed by the terrible stories of victims that leads to their being psychologically effected, more so when story after story piles up on them. So, not only do the victims need healing trauma, but people closely associated in helping them may also require some form of help themselves.
