Trauma and PTSD
Mario Uosis-Martin
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.

Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be debilitating conditions that can greatly impact an individual's mental and emotional well-being. Trauma can be caused by a wide range of events such as physical or emotional abuse, accidents, natural disasters, and combat. PTSD is a condition that can develop after a person has been through a traumatic event.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced trauma and PTSD. I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), which have been proven to be effective in treating trauma and PTSD.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their symptoms. TF-CBT is a specific type of CBT that is designed to help individuals who have experienced traumatic events such as sexual abuse.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your trauma and PTSD and develop strategies to manage your symptoms. We will also work on building resilience and coping skills to help you navigate through the challenges that you may face.
Trauma and PTSD can be difficult and overwhelming, but with the right support, it is possible to heal and move forward. I am here to help you navigate this process, and I encourage you to reach out for help.

Trauma and PTSD are symptoms experiences due to an event or a series of events. Somatic therapy will guide and support the process of discharging the trauma from the body so that it doesn't affect one's present behavior any longer. It is not a life sentence.

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.
