You're vibing, and BOOM - a smell, sound or situation hits, flooding you with memories and emotions from childhood trauma 😔
Anything from a raised voice to a familiar scent can be a trigger, sending you spiraling into that fight-or-flight mode 🥊💨
Even happy moments like weddings or having a baby can unexpectedly dredge up painful feelings linked to past trauma 😞
The key? Learn your triggers and have coping strategies ready to manage those intense resurfaced memories 🧘‍♀️
Healing is possible, but being trauma-informed about your personal triggers is crucial 🫶 Share your experiences?

Healing from childhood trauma is possible, even though the impacts can feel overwhelming. An innovative therapy called BWRT (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy), which aims to reprogram the brain's responses to traumatic memories and triggers can be a solution.
Other therapies like EMDR and CBT can also help process and integrate traumatic memories. Contact me if you have any questions. 0277534359

Childhood trauma can unexpectedly resurface, triggered by life events like marriage, parenthood, or career changes. Sensory experiences or stressful situations can also reignite past trauma, evoking emotions and memories. For instance, neglected children may feel insecure in relationships as adults. Seeking support and professional help is crucial to process these emotions and prevent further distress.

Childhood trauma can profoundly shape adult life, affecting relationships, careers, and mental health. Those who've experienced trauma may struggle with trust, emotional vulnerability, and decision-making, leading to unhealthy coping mechanisms and mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
Early trauma can disrupt brain development, impacting emotional regulation and self-concept, potentially leading to complex trauma-related conditions.
However, with therapy like Brain Working Recursive Therapy, self-compassion, and support, individuals can rewire their brains and heal from childhood adversity, leading to a fulfilling life. Reach out for assistance and support. Book a free appointment. 027 753 43 59 or info@mindtoolbox,co,nz

Childhood trauma doesn't just affect the mind; it can also leave imprints on the body. Research shows it can be stored in muscles, and the nervous system, and even impact the immune system. Physical symptoms like headaches or digestive issues could be signs of unresolved trauma. Consult a doctor first, and if you need guidance on childhood trauma, reach out for a consultation.

Do you know how childhood trauma can affect the brain? It can make changes in various areas of the brain like the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. These parts of the brain are responsible for regulating emotions, learning, memory and behaviour While these brain changes can persist, Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) may help resolve trauma's effects. You can book a free consultation with the therapist.
