Trauma Recovery
Trauma Recovery through Online Counselling
Have you experienced trauma and find it difficult to move on? Do you want to improve your mental health and start living a fulfilling life? Trauma can impact us in many ways, and it's crucial to seek help to recover from its effects. With online counselling, you can access trauma recovery services from the comfort of your home.
Trauma is a response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event / events that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope. Traumatic events can include physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, natural disasters, accidents, and exposure to violence or war. Trauma can lead to the development of mental health issues including PTSD, anxiety and depression.
Trauma can also have physical effects on the body. Chronic stress, which is a common result of trauma, can lead to changes in the nervous system and endocrine system, which can cause inflammation and impact overall health (Bremner, 2019). Trauma can also affect brain development, particularly in children, leading to difficulties with memory, attention, and emotional regulation (Perry, 2009).
It's important to seek professional help if you have experienced trauma. At Here4you Therapy, we understand that trauma can affect every aspect of your life.

In addition to therapy, self-care practices such as exercise, meditation, and journaling can also be helpful in managing the symptoms of trauma (van der Kolk, 2014). It's important to prioritise self-care as a part of your trauma recovery journey.
