Healing from the past is a challenging goal. If you have
experienced a traumatic event, it can feel very present in daily life event
though it occurred in the past. It may be impacting your self esteem, sleep
patterns, depression levels, anxiety levels, and relationships with others.
Recovering from trauma is a process, and counseling can be a huge benefit to
move through this process with support and guidance. The first step is finding
a professional that you trust and are comfortable with. The process may be painful
at times as you are sharing about it, but ultimately will lead you to identify
what triggers the trauma experiences, developing coping skills and grounding
techniques to manage the emotions that may come up, and healing by addressing
the fears the trauma has caused and developing positive thought patterns that
support healing. Validation, empowerment, communication, hope and connectedness
are goals of counseling that will lead you on the path to healing and living a
full and happy life.
