The psychiatric definition of "trauma" is "an event outside normal human experience."

 Trauma generally leaves people feeling powerless, helpless and paralysed. They have trouble thinking clearly during or after a severe trauma; yet at the same time, they are forced to focus their consciousness in an attempt to deal with the traumatic event.

 A trauma can result from a one-time event or a prolonged, repeated experience.

 Common causes of trauma include experiences such as:

• War
• Witnessing a horrific happening
• Accidents
• Rape
• Assault
• Robbery
• Physical, mental or emotional abuse.
  
  

 Some practitioners believe that trauma causes changes in brain chemistry, changes that are helpful in the short term by reducing the level of emotion to something bearable, but are harmful in the long term because they reinforce PTSD symptoms.

One to One NLP Trauma Management Therapy Sessions

We offer a six week program to enable clients to work through / cope with whatever issue they feel is most prominent / distressing in their lives.

The issues we are able to work on range from PTSD, trauma, changing a restricting behaviour, to stress relief, as well as installing more resourceful thought processes and aiding the client to restore their sense of control, which in turn empowers the client and strengthens their ability to cope and move on. 

We have been successfully achieving these changes through using a number of techniques from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Stress Management, Life Coaching and other fields of Human Development.

EMDR, Stress Management and Cognitive Therapy has been shown to be beneficial in a recent Cochrane review by Bisson, J and Andrew, M.
