Trauma Psychology

Life is a beautiful thing, but the world is unpredictable.

At times, we can be faced with challenges that are out of our control, where we are unsure of how to battle and overcome them.

If you, or someone you know, have ever been faced with a traumatic event in life that is a constant struggle to get past, you may be facing ongoing trauma.

There are various causes, forms and treatments of trauma that everyone responds to differently, but in most cases, it’s difficult to battle on your own.

The California Institute of the Healing Arts and Sciences is here to assure you that you’re not alone

60 to 75% of North Americans deal with trauma psychology and if you’re someone who wants to help others, you could make a difference in many lives with the holistic techniques that you learn from CIHAS.

What are 3 Types of Trauma?

There are three types of trauma:

Acute Trauma: Results from a single event that was stressful or dangerous.
Chronic Trauma: Results from repeated exposure to highly stressful events such as abuse, domestic violence, bullying.
Complex Trauma: Results from exposure to multiple, different traumatic events.

What Causes Trauma?

The way that an individual physically or emotionally responds to a highly stressful event is considered trauma psychology in Allopathic or Western Medicine.

That trauma triggers emotions and builds up in the subconscious mind creating blocks and obstacles.

Situations or events such as, being in a war zone, accident or natural disaster are a few examples of where/how an individual could develop trauma.

Other potential causes include:

Bullying
Harassment
Psychological, Physical or Sexual Abuse
Traffic Accidents
Childbirth
Chronic Illnesses
Being Attacked, Assaulted Kidnapped, Raped
Sudden Loss of a Loved One
Terrorist Acts
Natural Disasters
War

These traumatic experiences could be ongoing or isolated events, and individuals could also develop their own trauma after witnessing it happening to someone else.

If the trauma persists and worsens, individuals could develop PTSD where they have severe anxiety, flashbacks, and constant memories of the event.

Childhood trauma can be especially detrimental to a person’s health which causes them to struggle with emotional, mental, physical and behavioral development in their mature years.

In Alternative/Holistic Medicine, a different approach is used to get to the cause, removing blocks and obstacles that will help heal without the need to relive the trauma.
