Did you know that around 70% of adults have faced some form of trauma? Whether it’s witnessing something shocking or going through challenging experiences, trauma comes in many shapes and forms. There are two main types of trauma: “Big T trauma,” which includes severe events like sexual abuse, car accidents, or war, and “Small t trauma,” which often involves experiences like neglect, bullying, or physical and emotional abuse.
Experiencing trauma can make it challenging to navigate the aftermath of symptoms like depression and anxiety, or can even make it hard to maintain or form new relationships. If you have experienced a significant event, it’s important to remember that trauma is something that happened to you; it doesn’t define you.
When considering healing from your past, many people ask these common questions, “How do I confront my trauma?” and “Do I have to relive my experiences?” Luckily, there are alternative methods to healing than facing these difficult memories.
Facing trauma head-on can be daunting and scary for many, but there are gentler methods available. One effective approach is Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT). This method uses stories, imagery, and metaphors to help release emotional pain without reliving painful moments. This method works by targeting Memory Reconsolidation, which helps the brain change and heal traumatic memories, allowing people to process their experiences with healthy strategies and techniques.
If traditional treatments haven’t worked, ketamine therapy could be a promising alternative. Ketamine can provide relief of symptoms of trauma and depression—often experienced after a traumatic event. When the brain experiences depression, the communication between neurons in the brain changes. Unlike antidepressants or other traditional treatments, ketamine targets the brain by allowing it to become more malleable and adaptable, promoting the creation of new neuro-connections. This results in improved ways of thinking, enhanced emotions, and better responses to interactions and events. For many, ketamine therapy has shown to be successful in relieving depression, especially when other treatments haven’t worked.
