Service Description

Today as well as adults, more children and teenagers than ever before are being diagnosed with PTSD, which is usually a result of experiencing some sort of trauma, or unpleasant incident, something a person may or may not recall. The unconscious part of our mind has the ability to protect us by suppressing incidents that are too disturbing, however, it doesn't remove them. (The technical term is disassociative amnesia). Emotions are a fundamental human characteristic, essential for immediate physical survival (Flight or Fight). Clinical tests have shown emotions are much more powerful and happen instantly far more quickly than thoughts or actions, this basic neuroscience questions the efficacy of some therapies helping with this kind of problem, and the chances of making significant progress through CBT or counselling are poor, to say the least. I have heard stories from clients who in the past sought help but ended up feeling worse because of the treatment and language their therapist used. As therapists, we owe it to trauma survivors to make their recovery as comfortable as possible, by using protective language that really helps, and not talking directly about the original event which would more than likely traumatise them, this way we can quickly ease the suffering. The first and most difficult step to recovery is accepting help, taking a leap of faith, and trusting someone. I have more than twenty years of experience helping people who have suffered from PTSD and would recommend to anyone suffering the effects, to accept help as soon as possible. Three or four sessions are usually enough to resolve the problem. Read a more in-depth explanation and a client experience on the blog page.
