RESOLVE POST TRAUMATIC STRESS
Welcome and thank you so much for having the courage to visit us.
Believe me, we all of us here at Excellent Rapport appreciate that
it can take real courage to consider visiting a Therapy site and the
possibility of Working with a Therapist. So thank you again for your
courage.
I am so sorry that you, or if you are visiting us on behalf of
someone else, that someone close to you have suffered a Trauma.
Whatever that Trauma may have been – it will have been grim.
The word Trauma means ‘to wound’
Therefore there is one thing I do know about you – (or someone on
whose behalf you may be visiting us for) you, or someone you know,
has been ‘wounded’ – psychologically, emotionally, spiritually
perhaps, and maybe also physically.
Having said all this – I believe that all of us, absolutely all of
us will have experienced a Trauma. The depth of that Trauma is
experienced totally and utterly uniquely and individually by each
and every one of us.
What do I mean by this? Well, for example I remember a client of
mine who came to work with me to resolve a Phobia. Her Trauma age
two and a half years old had been that her mum had slammed a door in
her face. (I must add that her mum had done this unwittingly). This
little girl, bless her, was so Traumatised by a door slammed in her
face, that the phobia had developed. You will be pleased to know
that this lady no longer has her phobia.
Post Traumatic Stress for you is likely to be intermittent
throughout your day; by this I mean that it is unlikely you are
experiencing stress for 24 hours a day? – Though I promise you I
appreciate it may
feel to you that you are feeling
continuously stressed.
The stress response in you is likely to be triggered, or anchored
into something that happens in your environment which then sets off
an internal thought process? So, it is possible that the focus of
control over your state in external to you? You may be totally calm,
or happy, relaxed or content one moment – and then something in your
environment triggers your stressed state? You may know what the
triggers are?
And you may have attempted to adapt your life style so that you do
not have to experience these triggers. For example you may feel that
going to work, shopping, driving, travelling are triggers to your
stress state, and so you have adapted your life, given up work,
shopping, driving or travelling such that you hardly ever have to go
outside!
You may not have a clue as to what it is that triggers you into a
stressed state, or that you are anchored to. (An Anchor, in simple
terms, is anything which alters your state).
A young woman came to Work with me suffering with Post Traumatic
Stress. She did not have a clue as to what triggered her into a
stressed state. As we Worked together we discovered that light
shining off polished steel – like a kettle was the trigger. That
kind of flash of light off polished steel was a consciously
forgotten part of her Traumatic memory.
So what do I do about these triggers or anchors?
In simple terms I collapse the anchors. “Light flashing on polished
steel” - will no longer change a comfortable state to a stressed
state.
I then teach you the ability to change your state – whenever you
choose – whenever it is appropriate – for you.
The ability to choose and change your state is one of the most
useful and valuable tools to have. You will no longer be a victim of
past events, you will be able to move control – over your state -
from outside of you – to inside you. |
What can you do next?
Check out my 40 DAY COURSE ON MP3 or CD or
Choose a FREE ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION
You will be able to ask me all the questions you need and also
inform me of anything that you think and feel is important and
relevant. I will establish with you what you need and want to
achieve from your Therapy and structure for you a treatment plan.
However if I think that working with me does not seem to be the most
effective method of resolving your difficulties, symptoms or problem
I will be able to talk to you about other ways you can receive help
that could be more beneficial.
If you need further advice or information about this problem we will
be delighted to hear from you. You will find us friendly,
professional and we will treat anything you may say or ask of us in
the strictest confidence.
Your FREE ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION
will last for approximately one hour and can be done by phone, SKYPE,
or face to face at our consulting rooms in Keswick, Cumbria, in the
English Lake District. If travelling to Keswick for a weekly session
is unwieldy for you I can often conduct Therapy Sessions by phone.
However face to face Work, though not always essential, can often be
much better, in that for example, by phone you may tell me that you
are comfortable and relaxed, and face to face I can observe from your
breathing, heart rate and so on that in fact you are uncomfortable.

–a sweet cosy cottage right on the banks of the beautiful River
Greta which sleeps three people.
