Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering.
— Peter Levine (Trauma therapist, and creator of Somatic Experiencing, a form of alternative therapy aimed at relieving the symptoms of PTSD and other mental and physical trauma-related health problems. The treatment focuses on the client’s perceived body sensations, or somatic experiences, which promote awareness and the release of physical tension that remains in the aftermath of trauma).
My favourite therapist says that trauma, when left untreated, sits in the background, running our lives and sometimes running our lives into the ground. Luckily, there are treatment options and some of them seem to be quite effective. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
