Anger management

Four Good Reasons why Trauma Treatment Therapy is Crucial when we experience Traumatic Events.

1. We need to express and process our strong emotions, if we are not allowed to do so, we learn to  repress these feelings and they can erupt years later, distorted and causing great confusion.

2. The ability to process these emotions can prevent difficulties in later life. Whereby we can struggle with daily functioning. Often feeling inundated and incapacitated.

3. Many people who have repressed their experiences and feelings, often find great difficulty in moving on, they become more likely to self harm, take drugs and or alcohol. They may turn to these substances in order to escape and numb their difficult, painful emotions.

4. Stomach problems (IBS), anxiety and panic attacks, exhaustion, and memory loss problems are physical manifestations of emotional stress.

What is Stress?

Stress has almost become an unavoidable part of modern life. Unless you quit your job or drop out of school, cut all relationship ties, and decide to live in a cave out in the wilds, chances are you are going to have to deal with one kind of stress or another on a daily basis.

A little stress is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, without it, most people would not feel the urge to get things done, achieve new things, or accomplish their goals, it can give us motivation. It is when; stress gets out of control that the real trouble begins.

Stress is your body’s way of dealing with the outside dangers and challenges life can throw your way.

If you are walking down a dark, deserted street, your body will release hormones and chemicals that will make you more alert to your surroundings, and ready to flee to safety at a moment’s notice. This is called ‘The Fight or Flight Syndrome’ and is a human trait which has been around since neathanderthall man. 

Similarly if you have an important project due in the morning, and you are going to have to stay up all night to finish it, the same chemicals and hormones will keep you awake and alert, they give you the extra boost you need to work faster.

In certain situations, a little stress is okay.

The theory of stress is that we are not in control. So firstly we need to evaluate what we can take control over and what we cannot. We need to learn how to manage our Stress.

There will be other articles on stress management.
