The Basics Of Trauma Healing San Diego CA

By Stephen Reed


Traumatic experiences can range from a minor car accident to abuse as a child. All of these episodes need to be dealt with so the patient is healed over time and they are able to move on with their life. Of course, it can take more time when it is more severe. However, when one is able to open up, trauma healing San Diego CA starts to take place, and this makes a big difference.

Not dealing with the trauma will lead to further complications in one's life. The person may turn to drugs or alcohol. This can provide them with a sense of comfort. It can numb the pain that they are experiencing. They will take their rage out on their family members. They will withdraw and isolate themselves from family and friends. They will become depressed and anxious.

Someone who has been abused in their childhood may not even realize why they are feeling this way. They may have repressed memories. However, it can all come floating back when they are triggered by something. A certain smell or sound may remind them of their abuser. Suddenly, they will be in a state of shock, remembering back to the time when they were a child, being abused.

It is necessary to start to talk about the trauma in one's life. Of course, this is never easy. A lot of people are not comfortable talking to someone that they don't know, especially when they have problems trusting people. However, over time, they begin to connect the therapist. They will develop a unique relationship with this person and this is where healing takes place.

There are many ways in dealing with the healing process. Some people are less expressive, and they benefit from the creative process. The mind and body work together, and one also benefits from working non-verbally. They will find that they feel a greater sense of freedom once they start to express themselves in a more creative way.

This can take the form of drawing, painting or learning to play a musical instrument. It can be worked into a daily routine. They can also join a group and work with others who are participating in art therapy, for example. This is also a form of socialization, which is important.

Children can benefit from this form of therapy in San Diego CA, because they struggle to open up initially. They will often have issues with trust, especially when they have been abused by another adult. They are very honest in the creative process, and therapist is able to get a better idea of what they are going through by looking at their art projects.

Children who have been abused, may use a lot of dark colors in their art projects. Family members may not be smiling. There are often no doors or windows on the family home which they draw. Their behavior and emotions start to change as they begin to draw and paint. They will also complete their art projects very quickly compared to a child who is very healthy and stable.
