Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Addiction

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

AND OTHER FORMS OF TRAUMA

Trauma is the most misunderstood, misdiagnosed and ignored disease there is today.

Simply put, it is an event or series of events, that remain unprocessed and stuck in the central nervous system. This unprocessed scenario keeps looping in the sub-conscious mind, re-creating itself as an actual experience in real time.

When we try to figure it out or “think our way through,” we end up more frustrated, anxious, disappointed and hopeless than before. The same destructive patterns keep rearing their ugly heads, making life challenging and extremely uncomfortable.

These patterns show up in a variety of ways including:

Addiction
PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Chronic Pain
Insomnia

Anxiety
Depression
Overwhelming Fear
Dominating Anger
Low Self-Esteem

Families Do Recover offers Neuro Trauma Healing Process to address and correct trauma's from the past.

A single catastrophic experience is called Big T or Big Trauma and is usually obvious. It is a defining something that rocks us to the core. We can name it and describe it as one event.

Little Trauma or Little T is not so obvious. It is a slow process of events or a continuous experience that happens over time. This is the kind of trauma we experience having an addicted loved one AND we don't recognize it a trauma, but as our normal life. Trauma may not feel like the right word to describe your experience. It is used to describe events or a series of events that diminished you and your belief of yourself in some capacity. These beliefs or events continue to cycle within you as if they are still happening. They are still looping in your nervous system unprocessed.

Neuro Trauma Healing Process will allow you safe, direct contact with that part of you who holds onto the trapped experience. You get an opportunity to process the experience with the safety of a facilitator that guides through a gentle and controlled process of left and right brain re-cognizing that brings the happening into your conscious awareness so it can be filed into the appropriate drawer in the mind as an experience that can be learned from and grown from. Through this process, you can access the source of the negative patterns and interrupt them in a gentle way that will allow you to come to a resolution and heal from the trauma.

This process allows you to take your life and your power back and move forward in your life as your authentic self. NOT as the victim of someone else’s action and addiction.

Through the regular counselling process, it may be discovered that trauma is an underlying condition that needs to be treated. The benefits of NTHP are available to anyone wishing to overcome past trauma.

How Does the Cycle Of Addiction Affect Us?

For the Family

Addicted loved ones have a tendency to throw our world into a tailspin. We spend a lot of our time waiting, worrying and hoping. The rest of our time is spent fixing, rescuing and anticipating devastation. Many of us don't recognize this as a traumatic experience because it is long and drawn out over time and it becomes part of our normal life rather than one catastrophic experience. They cycle of our loved one's addiction impacts us and it ebbs away at our self-esteem, our self-worth and makes us afraid.

For the Addicted Loved One

We all know addiction begins with some sort of pain. Whether that pain is from a single horrific event or an ongoing series of interactions that somehow diminished your sense of self-worth, make you fearful or gave you a sense of not belonging in the world, those experiences are looping in our nervous system. Because your brain can't make sense of the events, they continue to loop, creating the negative patterns in your life that lead to anxiety, depression, overwhelming fear, and addiction.

How Does NTHP Help?

By working with a trained facilitator, the events or trauma is brought into the conscious awareness and processed and filed in the appropriate place in the brain, making the negative patterns no longer necessary for our emotional protection. We heal from the inside out.

NTHP is a person centred process. This means everything comes form within you. Even though you are guided by a facilitator, you have complete control at all times.
