Trauma can be defined in numerous ways, but essentially, it is an individual experience of dealing with the effects and symptoms that have resulted from a specific trauma, with the experience varying substantially from person to person.
When a person has experienced trauma, their brain can be significantly affected, leading to difficulties dealing with their experience among other potential adverse effects on the person’s physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. However, trauma can be treated. The team at Tonic Psychology offer services to heal our clients to recover from trauma and take back the reigns of their life.
It is also important to note that traumatic events can vary extensively depending on the person, from experiencing war to the death of a loved pet. Therefore, it is crucial to understand that different people experience life events and traumas differently. What may be manageable to one person could be life-altering to another. For this reason, when dealing with trauma, no matter what caused the experience, it is always the best practice to seek professional support – especially if the experience is causing difficulties in living a fulfilling life.
We advocate strongly for the need for all people facing traumatic experiences and the associated symptoms to seek the support they require and believe that all people deserve to live a fulfilling and happy life, and no passed experience should hold them back.
At Tonic Psychology we offer a range of treatments designed to help our clients deal with and overcome trauma. Our treatments are highly personalised to the needs of each individual, but include:
