| Trauma and Abuse In some people, an extreme traumatic event, such as a physical or sexual assault, terrible accident, natural disaster, or the sudden and unexpected death of a loved one, may lead to a condition called post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Many survivors begin their journey with one to one counseling, others prefer a group setting. Therapy provides a safe, confidential setting in which to explore issues of great power and emotional weight. Shame, fear, anger, doubt, betrayal and grief are often first expressed in therapy. Clients learn how to express their feelings in constructive and responsible ways. They gain an understanding of their history and how it may be affecting their lives today. Trust, safety, boundaries and sexuality are core issues survivors address in therapy. Articles and Presentations: Effects of Trauma on Brain.htm |
