Dealing with your emotions after a traumatic event can be difficult. Although the event has ended, the memories may last for months or years to come.
Our bodies go through a process after a traumatic event or a series of chronic stress. What happens in our bodies and our brain when we perceive a threatening situation or we have been through a traumatic situation?
One way that these emotions may be released from the part of the brain that stores these memories is with energy-based therapies. Energy-based therapies use non verbal techniques that address all levels of the individual: mental, emotional, spiritual as well as physical. These types of techniques deal with getting to the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Feelings of anger, rage, fear, avoidance and defensiveness are involved in the area of our brain that stores emotions.
These traumatic events are stored in our unconscious survival memory centers. Trauma does not have to be one specific event. It can be a series of events, abuse, fear produced by a critical and unsupportive parent or anything that produces a feeling of helplessness.
When we experience sensations, images, smells, sights or anything that remind us of the trauma, our body reacts as if being a present threat. The traumatic experience still exists in our brain and contains the emotional and conscious memory traces of the event.
Our brains are unable to release this message of threat that it is receiving and shows up as symptoms of fear and anxiety. Often times our reactions to these events can produce fear and anxiety in our responses to it.
Most people that have gone through a traumatic situation do not want to keep re-living it. Something may trigger the release of the stored emotions from the event and the person reacts without knowing why.
For most people, talking about a trauma, having to re-live the event and continually bring up emotions can be traumatic in itself. Energy-based therapies such as Healing Touch offer a healing sequence for releasing stuck fear patterns and bring a sense of calm to the individual.
This causes a shift in their energetic field allowing the fear-based energetic patterns to shift to a new response of calm and compassion. This feeling of calm helps to produce the relaxation response, thus allowing our bodies to heal.
This technique is great for anyone that has gone through any sort of traumatic situation, surgery or accident. For anyone who has been in the military or has family who have returned from active duty, this process has had successful results.
This particular sequence can provide long lasting effects for people with PTSD, panic attacks, chronic anxiety and obsessive thinking. Each time that this technique is used, it has a cumulative effect as energetic changes last from one session to another.
