Traumatic Events Steal Pieces of our Life

What are Traumatic Events Defined as?

 A traumatic event is an incident that can cause physical, emotional, or psychological harm. The CDC says that traumatic events are marked by the following:

• A sense of horror

• Helplessness

• Serious injury

• Threat of serious injury

• Death / threat of death

Traumatic events can also affect more than just the survivors that were involved. Friends and relatives of the victim can also be affected as well as rescue workers at the event. Some examples of traumatic events include rape, war, witnessing a death, domestic abuse, a severe car accident, and more.

How do Traumatic Events Affect You on a Day-to-Day Basis?

Moving past the initial shock of a traumatic event can take 4-6 weeks. After that, responses may vary. Traumatic events can affect you daily. Some ways you might be affected on a day-to-day basis include:

• Nightmares

• Repeated Flashbacks

• Intense fear of recurrence of the traumatic event

• Isolation

• Sudden mood changes

• Denial

• Anger

• Irritability

• Anxiety

Traumatic events can affect everyone daily, but these are some of the most common. Developing PTSD is also a condition that occurs after suffering from a traumatic event. Many of these symptoms can make it hard to live the life you want to live, but you don’t have to live like that.

This is not an Ideal Way to Live

Nobody wants to live with nightmares, flashbacks, and more on a daily basis. Luckily, there are ways to manage your traumatic stress. Having a consistent schedule and daily routine can help you manage stress, be productive, and find stability and consistency. Be sure to take care of your body and mind by eating well-balanced meals, exercising, getting enough sleep, etc. It also can help to communicate the experience you went through with your support system like family, friends, support groups, therapists, and more. Talking about it can help you process the trauma. 

EmRes can Help you Rediscover those Pieces

EmRes, or Emotional Resolution, connects you to the origin of a difficult emotion through your physical sensations and modulates the unwanted emotional response permanently. This simple yet rarely used physiologic capacity is innate to all human beings. It is an ability you are born with, but working with an EmRes Certified Practitioner, you'll be able to practice how to work through those emotions again. How does EmRes help with trauma? Our body keeps somatic traces of all our traumatic experiences. When exposed to a stimulus that reminds the body of a past danger, the viscero-somatic memory linked to this danger is reactivated, creating the base of a disruptive emotional response. EmRes allows the body to integrate traumatic information and to tune-in to our current reality instead of reacting through a past memory. It helps the body recognize that the perceived danger is nowadays obsolete. Overall, the goal of EmRes is to reintegrate and recover these pieces that traumatic events stole from our life.
