Trauma therapy in Farnborough

Types of trauma

Traumic events may include violent robbery, rape, beatings, being caught up in a war zone, witness to murder or other serious violence. However, bereavement, abandonment, rejection, neglect, being ignored by significant others, verbal abuse, a broken relationship and the loss of love may result in trauma for many people.

What is trauma?

Psychological trauma is a type of damage to the psyche that occurs as a result of a traumatic event. A traumatic incident may be a single life event or a series of repeated events that completely overwhelm the individual's ability to cope or integrate the thoughts and emotions involved with that experience.

This sense of ‘feeling overwhelmed’ can be delayed by weeks or years as the person struggles to cope with the immediate danger of a situation and to get on with life the best they can. Trauma is caused by our response to a wide variety of events and there are certain characteristics common to all traumas. For some, there is a disruption of the person’s ideas about the world in which they live and how it should work for them. For others there are low expectations about their basic needs and human rights. Either way, the result is often a debilitating state of confusion and insecurity.
