TRAUMA
Trauma Help is a practice based on neuroscience, education, and psychology that recognizes both the psychobiological and psychosocial factors that impact the body, mind, and brain. Trauma occurs when the brain, in an attempt to protect us, becomes entangled and overwhelmed. This response can have long-term effects, disrupting mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and preventing the ability to live a fulfilled life.
Trauma goes beyond individual traumatic events; it can also result from prolonged exposure to distressing experiences, especially in childhood. Early adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can significantly affect both physical and mental health, often leading to long-term challenges. Additionally, exposure to abuse, discrimination, and toxic environments can pass trauma down through generations, affecting not only the individual but also their family and community.
HELP
At Trauma Help, the emotional and cognitive world of each individual is recognized as unique, which is why the healing process is tailored to the individual, without following a one-size-fits-all approach. Evidence-based psychotherapeutic counseling is offered, which is thorough, intimate, and customized to personal needs. Whether online or in person, a safe space is guaranteed. Support is provided to cope with traumatic stress and the effects of negative childhood experiences, activate personal resources, and take responsibility for the healing process. The goal is to help you understand the roots of your trauma, free yourself from its influence, and regain the path to a life of peace, balance, and fulfillment.
Trauma & Adverse Childhood Experiences
Studies show how in Western, Educated, Industrialized, Religious and Democratic societes at least 50% have expereinced traumatic experiences in their lives. These are ofen accompanied by other diseases and mental disorders. As a result, individuals and their communities suffer from an increasing exposure to traumatic stress. Cognitive and Emotional regulation, attachment styles and Resilient responses vary from person to person as does the tolerance to traumatic stress. It is hard to point out the complex way in which our brain connects and entangles, reducing our ability to cope and adopting unhealthy regulating mechanisms. In Trauma Help we want to help you find you best options to overcome the sequels of traumatic experiences and lead a healthy and balanced life.
Stressors & Executive Functions
Stressors from traumatic events can significantly impair our executive functions, the mental processes that help us manage and regulate our behavior, thoughts, and emotions. These functions include working memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibition, planning, and decision-making. When a person experiences trauma, it can overwhelm the brain's ability to process information, making it more difficult to concentrate, adapt to new situations, and control impulses. As a result, a person may have trouble with memory, become easily distracted, act impulsively, and have difficulty with planning or decision-making. Chronic stress or trauma can impair these functions and lead to long-term cognitive challenges as well as emotional dysregulation.
EMDR Coaching
EMDR or eye movement desensitation reprocessing is a method that alleviates stress associated by traumatic memories and adverse life experiences. It helps restructure negative memories and reprocess the physiological response to traumatic stress. EMDR relies on bilateral stimulations that help the brain construct new associations, open new learning and emotional paths and desensitize those triggers that interfere with emotional and cognitive regulation and cause pain. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
RELIEF
Adverse Childhood Experiences, divorce, relocation, bullying, accidents, abuse, health problems, or grief experiences, as well as discrimination and environments marked by violence, can affect both behavior and brain chemistry, causing physical and emotional pain. The first step to alleviating this suffering is to create a safe space where trust, choice, and empowerment form the solid foundations for resilience.
COPING
We can’t erase the past but we can learn to cope with it and live a happy life. Children and adults posses a brain plasticity that facilitates adaptive change. Finding the path to the right coping mechanisms will help overcome traumatizing experiences and heal the wounds.
HEALING
Healing is a process that requires acknowledgement, the right environment, support and continuity. We can't change the past but there are many ways of tuning with our braIn and accesing its stored cognitive and bodily memories that will help us reprocess our traumatic experiences.
