Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms a person's ability to cope. It can result from various experiences, including accidents, natural disasters, war, abuse and loss. PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Complex PTSD stems from prolonged or repeated trauma, often occurring during childhood - it includes symptoms of PTSD along with additional difficulties such as emotional regulation issues, dissociation and interpersonal problems. Somatic resources focus on the body and it's sensations, aiming to release trauma stored in the physical self. Techniques include breath work, movement, touch and awareness exercises. These methods help clients reconnect with their body, fostering a sense of safety and presence. Using parts work, based on the IFS model - an evidence based therapeutic model that views the mind as composed of multiple parts, each with their own perspective and roles. It's particularly effective for trauma as it helps clients understand and integrate fragmented selves. Healing occurs as clients learn to listen to and care for wounded parts, reducing the intensity of protector parts whose symptoms manifest as rigidity, avoidance or intense reactions and unwanted behaviours. Integration involves creating harmony among parts, leading to a more cohesive and balanced self. A trauma-informed approach is grounded in understanding and responding to the effects of trauma. It focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment, emphasising clients' strengths and resilience. Integration involves combining somatic resources, parts work, IFS and trauma-informed care in a flexible and client-centred way. This holistic approach addresses trauma's effects on the body, mind and spirit, fostering comprehensive healing. It is imperative that my clients feel safe and supported in our sessions. I cultivate a warm, non-judgmental environment, respecting your boundaries and pacing. Interventions are tailored to each person's unique needs, incorporating somatic exercises, parts work, IFS techniques, and trauma-informed principles as appropriate. Building resilience involves supporting my client's in developing coping strategies, enhance self-awareness and build supportive relationships.

PTSD/Trauma
Rachel Bates
Registered Psychotherapist, M Phil - Counselling & Psychotherapy; M A Psychology
Emotional and psychological trauma can be the outcome of extraordinarily stressful events that involve a threat to life or safety. This can shatter one's sense of security, a feeling of being overwhelmed and isolated even if it does not involve physical harm. It is not the objective circumstances that determine whether an event is traumatic but the subjective emotional experience of it. Post-traumatic Stress is the stress that follows a traumatic event either during the first month after the event or even after a few months after the event. When the individual re-experiences or relives the traumatic event in the form of flashbacks, nightmares, repetitive and distressing images or sensations, sometimes involving bodily reactions such as sweating, pain, feeling sick or trembling, it can result with excessive guilt and/or shame. The psychological distress affects the physiological functions and this then becomes a vicious cycle.

Anna Brooker
Therapist, Advanced Level 3 BWRT Therapist, Award Winning Women's Health Coach, Life Coach
Trauma and PTSD can leave your mind and body reacting as if the danger is still happening, through flashbacks, hypervigilance, panic, disturbed sleep or feeling constantly on edge. One of the things clients value most about BWRT® is that you don't need to relive what happened or describe it in detail. We work with the automatic responses the experience has left behind, so you remain in control throughout. I offer a free 15-minute consultation. Send me a message using the enquiry form and I'll get back to you. As a certified health coach, I can also support the physical toll of long-term hypervigilance, such as poor sleep and exhaustion. I work alongside your GP or other mental health services where appropriate. Book a free 15 minute consultation so we can talk about whether BWRT is right for you.
