Trauma Counselling - SRT
Trauma Counselling with Self Regulation Therapy
SELF-REGULATION THERAPY (SRT)
SRT is a mind-body approach to help you resolve and clear excess energy and feelings that may remain in your nervous system causing dysregulation. Although every individual's experience of trauma is different here are a few circumstances that are usually overwhelming
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Medical and dental procedures
- Abandonment, shaming, or bullying
- Natural disasters
- Falls and accidents
- Sudden loss
- Physical, mental, emotional or sexual abuse or assault
- Overwhelming or bad drug trips or entheogenic experiences
WHAT IS DYSREGULATION?Everyone's nervous system is designed to regulate from a state of relaxed alertness to high activation should we become threatened or overwhelmed. During a state of activation we are automatically driven by survival and our fight or flight instincts take over. Just like animals, this instinctive state produces large amounts of energy ensuring that we have enough to get through and survive. In fact, so much energy is produced that there is often excess. Under ideal circumstances the excess energy leaves our systems in several ways, including trembling, heat, or tingling as we regulate back to a balanced state. Should ideal circumstances not be present however, the excess energy may remain trapped in our nervous system causing dysregulation and difficulty getting through life's challenges with confidence or flexibility.
SYMPTOMS OF DYSREGULATION
- Feelings of separation or a loss of faith or connection to Spirit
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Difficulty modulating emotions
- Alcohol or drug misuse
- Anxiety and depression
- Sleep difficulties
- Migraines
- Ear ringing, or sensitivity to sound or light
- Neck, back or jaw pain
- Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Difficulty with concentration or memory
RESULTS OF SRT
During sessions you may experience trembling, heat, tingling, tears or laughter as your system releases excess activation in a safe and contained environment. After sessions you will likely experience feelings of hope and well-being. Because SRT helps return your nervous system to a state of balance, you will also notice an increase in your ability to experience joy and feelings of aliveness, increasing your capacity to copy with life stress.
