Many people afflicted with alcoholism or drug addiction have had major traumatic events in their lives. Reliving the traumatic events often blocks the individual’s ability to do what is necessary to stay sober. At The Beachcomber, we employ two specific forms of evidence-based therapy or methodology of trauma therapy. Rapid Trauma Resolution, a key element of Trauma Therapy in Fort Lauderdale, will frequently be used in the early recovery process to address trauma. If the trauma is severe enough, we will then use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), another vital component of Trauma Therapy in Boynton Beach, further along in the client’s recovery process. It is not necessary to relive past events or experience any pain. The mind is cleared, organized and optimized. There are dramatic improvements in thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Unconscious conflicts blocking desired change are pinpointed and resolved. As the root cause of problems is cleared, positive change endures. Clearing traumatic events allows the alcoholic or addict to work on other aspects of his/her personality or psyche, which ultimately helps them to stay sober. Clearing the traumatic event is often accomplished in one session, approximately an hour long. Rapid Resolution Therapy and EMDR have provided effective solutions to:
There are many things in the world that cannot be explained, such as accidents, tragedies, and attacks. These things leave a mark on our thoughts, an impression that needs to be dealt with in the appropriate manner in order to be eradicated. Without receiving the appropriate treatment for the trauma, that mark will remain, and it will continue to be a burden on the mind.
Personal experience might put you in danger since it can put you in direct contact with traumatic situations.
It’s possible for you to be a witness to tragic occurrences that happen to other people.
You might feel traumatic effects after learning of anything that happened to a member of your family or a close acquaintance.
It’s possible to be repeatedly put in dangerous situations.
Children who are raised in environments where there is domestic violence don’t necessarily have to be physically harmed in order to have a traumatic experience; simply seeing one parent hurt the other and living in an environment that is consistently hazardous can be deleterious to mental health. In point of fact, children who experience trauma as they are growing up are more likely to suffer harm to their brain development, which can lead to mental health problems, addiction to drugs or alcohol, and chronic illness.
Those who are directly involved in traumatic events such as acts of mass violence, natural catastrophes, or automobile accidents may acquire symptoms of trauma that, at first, may not appear to be an issue but, if ignored, may eventually become a problem.
