Counsellor/Therapist, PGDip Advanced Psychotherapy
Trauma has many forms and faces. When we talk about emotional, and psychological trauma it means we are talking about going through very distressing, frightening or very stressful events. We might find ourselves in situations that were traumatic or we were affected by our experiences of such events. Traumatic events can happen at any time of our lives, from birth to old age; it can cause long-lasting, sometimes lifetime lasting harmful effects. We all are individuals; therefore, everyone has a different reaction to trauma; so, you might notice the effects of it quickly, or a long time (sometimes even decades) afterwards.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological and physiological condition that is caused by a very frightening or distressing event. There is an old myth that only war veterans can develop PTSD, which is very wrong. For example, a cancer diagnosis, car accident, sexual or physical violence and many other experiences can lead to PTSD. This does not, however, mean that everyone who experiences such life experiences will develop PTSD. People suffering from PTSD often re-live the traumatic event through flashbacks and nightmares. You might experience a lack of concentration or have problems sleeping, perhaps feeling isolated and detached. These symptoms are often persistent and can severally impact your everyday life. Therapy can provide you with a safe space where you will be able to process the traumatic event and your own individual reaction.

Nick Morecroft Trauma Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP
I feel trauma underlies many of the issues we deal with in adult life. Simply put, trauma is a natural response to stress that forces us to change our behaviour in order to survive. It is a mechanism to keep us safe in the dangerous environments of our ancestors. Due to the way it works, we can often be left with fears from past situations presenting themselves repeatedly at times when there really isn't any danger. Our mind/body generalises about situations that might be close to the past times of stress and can cause a lot of overreaction. Without being addressed, we continue to react in these unhelpful ways and can actually strengthen the fearful reactions through repeat behaviours. Trauma focussed therapy helps to break these reactive behaviours, delivering healing work to the parts originally wounded, dissolving the fear reactions and helping build new healthy reactions.
