Trauma

Trauma is usually the result of a person being overwhelmed by situations which often appear to be outside their control. It may feel as though the whole world is collapsing around them and they may feel they lack the ability to control the situation, the outcome or themselves. Instead of dealing with the situation in a rational and constructive manner, they may spend valuable time and energy beating themselves up for being in this situation.

A full healing process will include ThetaHealing belief changes before a Journey process. This combination will allow you to prioritise the decisions and actions you need to take, enabling you to develop a realistic plan of action to make the best possible decisions, releasing the need for self-blame and enabling you to move forward in your life with greater confidence in your ability to handle similar situations in future.

Other common causes of trauma are guilt, regret and rejection, especially if these relate to actions or words a person has used against another, or some other person has used against you. These situations are exacerbated if the recipient of the other person is no longer able to be contacted, removing the option of offering or receiving an apology or forgiveness. The Journey process enables you to speak to that other person and to your younger self in consciousness, apologising for the hurt caused, and offering and receiving forgiveness as required. This enables the stored cell memories to be erased, allowing any physical symptoms associated with those memories to be healed.

As the acronym suggests, post-traumatic stress disorder usually occurs after an extended period of traumatic stress. This may be associated with sleep deprivation, either imposed or self-inflicted by your mind churning over and over as it attempts to find a solution to a traumatic situation for which there may be no apparent solution.

There is a wide range of types of experiences that can cause PTSD, from situations involving persistent bullying at school or work, through possibly life-threatening events associated with daily living, e.g. car accidents, falling, thefts of property, violence in relationships, and feeling hard done by in a negotiation, right through to the unexpected death of a loved one or extended periods of wartime service in a battle zone. One key aspect of PTSD is that the situations in which trauma was experienced may have continued for an extended period of time, have been particularly violent or both of these. So, for example, in a situation of spousal abuse, the trauma would have been experienced when the abuse was occurring, and also in the mind of the recipient as they thought about what had happened and what was likely to happen in the future as they returned to that situation on a daily basis. Thus, as well as being punished by their spouse, they are also punishing themselves mentally by unconsciously making the abuse their dominant thought.

If you watch a wildlife video of a predator chasing their potential prey, e.g. a lion hunting a young gazelle, and the prey manages to escape, once the gazelle is safe, you may notice that its whole body shakes. That occurs innately because it can literally shake off the memory of nearly being caught. Humans have lost that ability, so instead of shaking themselves after a traumatic event, they are more likely to store that event somewhere in the body, which can create physical symptoms in that area due to stored traumas rather than from an injury or other physical cause. A full healing process can remove these stored traumatic cell memories, allowing the body and mind to completely heal.
