Trauma affects people across the United States every day. In recent years, trauma studies have helped scientists and therapists begin to understand the effects of trauma on the brain and body. They’ve also learned new ways to help clients process trauma, reduce triggers, and increase stress tolerance to prevent future trauma. While once associated with combat PTSD, anyone can suffer from trauma at any point in their life. Trauma treatment can help people uncover, treat, and manage PTSD, trauma triggers, and trauma responses for safe, happy lifestyles.

If you or someone you love is struggling with trauma or PTSD, know you are not alone. The team at Santé Center for Healing is here for you.

Understand Trauma Symptoms and Signs

When someone experiences an accident, natural disorder, or other dangerous situation, their body releases adrenaline and cortisol to prepare them to fight or flee the situation. This ancient response is life-saving. Unfortunately, if these vital chemicals aren’t processed during the event, they become stored in the body as a trauma. Some scientists even say that trauma is memories and chemicals “trapped” in the body’s tissue waiting to finish processing. This leads to trauma symptoms, PTSD, and trouble getting through daily life. Symptoms of unprocessed trauma include:

Anger
Mood swings
Changes in heart rate
Constant worry
Sense of doom
Hopelessness
Emotional outburst
Profuse sweating
Nightmares

Everyone’s trauma experience is unique. Some may remember a traumatic event, while others may have a feeling they have experienced trauma without remembering a specific event. This is a normal way the brain changes memory and perception to help someone move past trauma. This means everyone will have different triggers, symptoms, and responses. Loud noises, bright lights, crowds, and sudden movements are often trauma triggers for many people.

Benefits of Trauma Treatment

Trauma treatment can include a wide range of therapies and has numerous benefits. Treatment can help reduce triggers, increase calm, and help people regulate their stress and emotional responses. When trauma is triggered, it puts the nervous system into a state of dysregulation. Trauma treatment can help people naturally regulate their nervous system without medication. Other benefits of treatment include:

Healthier cardiovascular system
Lower stress levels
Less anxiety
Feeling safe more often
Knowing what to do when triggered

Trauma treatment can be a healing, empowering experience. No matter the type of trauma therapy, clients receive the tools they need to help recover from past, recent, and future traumas.
