Sometimes human beings are faced with truly horrible situations: threat, a fear of death, or witnessing such events. A normal response to these situations is severe psychological disturbance. However, such disturbance usually remits within weeks. Unfortunately for some people the psychological disturbance lasts months, years, and sometimes a lifetime. These disturbances include nightmares, intrusive thoughts, avoidance of situations that resemble the trauma, difficulty relating to other people, withdrawal from social life, and in extreme cases dissociation from reality. The two most common psychological conditions associated with this disturbed response are Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Adjustment Disorder. Psychologists have had more than a hundred years of experience in dealing with these difficulties. In the First World War it was described as shell shock. In the Second World War it was known as combat fatigue. We now know that it is not only those who engage in combat who suffer from these disorders. What we are increasingly understanding is that posttraumatic experiences are a disturbance of memory: the disturbance is that we simply cannot forget the horror we have experienced. Psychologists have developed clear treatment pathways to assist the victims of trauma.

Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
Post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma are a result of various life events that can have frightening and unsettling effects. Some of these include car accidents, domestic violence, sexual and emotional abuse. These can affect the brain's ability to recall the events.
The goal of trauma therapy is to help people rewrite their stories and regain a sense of stability and safety.

Traumatic Events, including PTSD are often thought to be so deeply rooted that they a long time to shift. But look at my testimonials to see how effectively and quickly I can help dissolve the link between an incident(s) in the past and the associated feelings that are triggered.

Embark on an extraordinary journey of courageous healing, transforming the echoes of traumatic experiences into the seeds of profound growth and empowerment. Trauma, with its overwhelming and paralyzing presence, holds within it an unexpected doorway to personal development when met with wisdom and the proper support. Unfortunately, many find themselves grappling with the disorienting and immobilizing effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
With the honour of guiding thousands through the intricate process of understanding and methodically healing trauma, I cultivate a therapeutic environment that is more than just safe—it's infused with positivity, warmth, and, when appropriate, a touch of fun. While the path to healing trauma may seem daunting, the journey carries immense benefits for those who bravely confront it with wisdom and robust support systems.
Personally, navigating a significant amount of childhood trauma has equipped me with a profound understanding, coupled with over two decades of professional experience, totalling more than 17 thousand hours of sitting with clients in my psychotherapy practice. Today, I draw from this rich tapestry of personal and professional wisdom to extend hope and support to those on their unique path toward a future marked by more significant health and happiness.
Within you lies transformative potential, akin to emerging "superpowers," waiting to be harnessed as you navigate the intricate healing process. If you're ready to face this challenge with courage and embrace the support you deserve, I wholeheartedly invite you to a consultation. Together, let's chart a course toward a future defined by resilience, growth, and the profound realization of your full potential.

Bristol Trauma Therapy
Therapist
My name is Heather Bradley and I am a Trauma Therapist. Having worked in this area for over 10 years I do understand just how radically experiencing trauma can impact your life and create feelings of loneliness, confusion and despair. PTSD and CPTSD can leave you feeling so out of control impacting relationships, work and your relationship with yourself. Together we journey from where you are now to a life that has clarity, meaning and purpose. Flashbacks, night terrors, panic attacks, going numb, spacing out, leaving your body etc can all become a thing of the past as you gain control over your life and live in the present moment more. I work in such a way that traumatic memories are resolved at the root and stored differently in your brain. This means when you are triggered, the memory is no longer "live" to flash back to. We understand on a deep level that the trauma is over and you are safe. I also work with what we store in the body. Implicit memories are tough because we find out body reacting to things that we might not consciously know about. We can work with this too and bring you back to feeling safe in your body. I have personally overcome my own Traumas and CPTSD and so I truly know how daunting this journey is but also I truly know what is possible to achieve. For more information please feel free to visit my website and reach out to me for a free informal chat where we can see if we are a good fit for one another therapeutically. You can also ask me any questions you may have about doing therapy together. I very much look forward to hearing from you. With warm wishes, Heather.
