Trauma Counseling

Puts You Back In Control Over When You Feel Out Of Control!

 

Counseling Director Karen Gosling

You have experienced a traumatic event (an injury, loss of a loved one or property, or a serious threat, or any overwhelming emotional experience). Even though the event may be completed, you may now be experiencing or may experience later, some strong emotional or physical reactions. It is very common, in fact quite normal, for people to experience emotional aftershocks when they have passed through an horrible event.

 
Helpful hints as you start trauma counseling:
  • Rest a bit more. Contact friends
  • Fight against boredom. Physical activity is often helpful
  • Re-establish a normal schedule as soon as possible
  • Express your feelings as they arise
  • Talk to people who love and care about you
  • Have someone stay with you for at least a few hours or periods or a day or so
  • Recurring thoughts, dreams or flashbacks are normal - don't try to fight them - they'll decrease over time and become less painful
  • Maintain as normal a schedule as possible
  • Eat well-balanced and regular meals (even when you don't feel like it)
  • Try to keep a reasonable level of activity. Find a good counselor if the feelings become prolonged or too intense!
 

And here's the good news - You CAN succeed with trauma counseling even if you are a COMPLETE beginner!

All you need is the know-how and guidance...

Here's what you'll receive when you order trauma counseling from Gosling International:

 
For family members and friends:
  • Listen carefully
  • Spend time with the traumatized person
  • Offer your assistance and a listening ear, even if they have not asked for help
  • Reassure them that they are safe
  • Help them with everyday tasks like cleaning, cooking, caring for family, minding children
  • Give the person some private time
  • Don't take their anger or other feelings personally
  • Don't tell them that they are "lucky it wasn't worse" - those statements do not console traumatised people
  • Instead, tell them that you are sorry such an event has occurred and you want to understand and assist them
 

Sometimes the emotional aftershock (or stress reactions) appear immediately after the traumatic event. Sometimes they may appear a few hours or a few days later. And, in some cases, weeks or months may pass before the stress reactions appear.

The signs and symptoms of a stress reaction may last a few days, a few weeks, or a few months and occasionally longer, depending on the severity of the traumatic event. With understanding and the support of loved ones or significant others, the stress reactions usually pass more quickly. Occasionally the traumatic event is so painful that professional assistance from a counselor may be necessary. This does not imply craziness or weakness. It simply indicates that the particular traumatic event was just too powerful for the person to manage by himself or herself.

Here are some very common signs and symptoms of a stress reaction:

 
PHYSICAL
Nausea, Upset stomach, Tremors (lips, hands), Feeling uncoordinated, Profuse sweating, Diarrhoea, Dizziness, Chest pain (should be checked at hospital), Rapid heart beat, Rapid breathing, Increased blood pressure, Headaches, Muscle aches, Sleep disturbance.
COGNITIVE
Slowed thinking, Difficulty making decisions, Difficulty in problem solving, Confusion Disorientation (especially to place and time), Difficulty calculating, Difficulty concentrating, Memory problems, Difficulty naming common objects, Seeing the event over and over, Distressing dreams, Poor attention span.
EMOTIONAL
Anxiety, Fear, Guilt, Grief, Depression, Feeling lost, Feeling abandoned, Feeling isolated, Worry about others, Wanting to hide, Wanting to limit contact with others, Anger, Irritability, Feeling numb, Startled, Shocked.
 
If the symptoms described above are severe or if they last longer than six weeks, the person may need professional counseling.
