UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA: A LITERATURE REVIEW

INTRODUCTION

Why do you need HELP ?

This is one of the fundamental questions to one's well being. Most people do not ask this question because most likely they know the answer, but refuse to accept their truthful answer.

There is good and bad news in this question!

The good news is that you will more than likely forget the traumatic incident and will try to live your life as you did before.

The bad news is that your body will not forget about the traumatic incident/s. Most likely, you may not experience too many emotional disruptions to your life, but physiologically you will start to manifest physical symptomology of illness, which may ultimately degenerate into one or another disease.

My suggestion is that if you are not sure, ask someone, who is suitably qualified to give you an opinion. Remember that ultimately you are the one making the decision.

It is your life, after all!

When do you need help?

The short answer is: "When you are not coping."

Many assume incorrectly that professional therapists are speaking about the emotional well being of an individual. This is only partly true.

We are a three dimensional individual:

Spiritual
Emotional
Physical

If you are not "coping" in any one of the above, you should speak to a professional therapist.

Help is not only defined by narrative support (talking to someone). The holistic approach will help you to experience the abundant life available to you.
