What treatment can you recieve for trauma?? And how sucessful is it?

Question

Bereavement of someone close to you.

Answer 1

Depending on the circumstances of how someone close to you died could determine the kind of help you need.

My partner died very suddenly and without warning. I found him and was unable to revive him. I am currently receiving counselling for PTSD. I don't think I could have coped this long without this help. This may be what you need.

If you are not suffering with PTSD, but are struggling with bereavement you can get counselling for that too. Either way it helps you to identify what emotions you are going through and to talk about them. It also helps to have either family members or close friends who you can also talk to about what you are going through.

Its not easy and I wish you all the best.

Answer 2

if you are talking about emotional trauma rather than physical. then several things help. don't bottle your feelings in , think of the good times, talk to some one and or consider using a bereavement councillor. Like all counselling it will only work as well as you want it to , but if you do it is very very beneficial

Answer 3

If you mean re PTSD, then a lot will depend on whether others went through it with you (e.g. Army unit) and whether you can talk about it with them. If you went through it alone (e.g. car crash) then it can be harder, although for most things you should be able to find someone who has been through something similar.

PTSD will generally heal itself with time - there are things you can do to accelerate/delay the healing process but to a limited degree.

EDIT: Have now seen your edit to the Q, there are bereavement counselling groups/advisers in most areas. Contact your GP for a list.

Answer 4

When someone you love leaves you - you will feel many emotions and all of them are right.

If you wake up and feel loss, then you are feeling loss.

If you wake up and smile and then remember the loss, you have recalled the memory of the one you have lost.

If you wake up and don't recall the loss, you are getting on with life at that moment in time.

If you feel you need to 'pull yourself together' then ask yourself - is that really true? Do you have to? Or could you move to choosing to?

Could you make choices about how you feel and when you feel to get you through a difficult time in your life?

Imagine choosing to celebrate the persons life, the times that were precious, the moments when you didn't feel loss. Imgine closing your eyes and feeling the way you did when that person was in your life. Give yourself a gift - for as long as you are able - a gift of choice.

When you feel sad, embrace sadness and limit the time you feel sad, the quicker you realise it is how you feel you can choose to exchange the feeling to the better one of celebration.

Losing a person you cared about is a time to allow yourself to feel things - after all you are an emotional person.

Love and light

Answer 5

Ummm you need to be a lot more specific, there are hundreds of types of trauma if not thousands. You have asked something along the lines of "If i don't feel good what specific medications should I take and what are their side effects"

Answer 6

I'm not too religious but strictly speaking, pray is the best way to heal your stress and trauma as well.

God will always be there for you ~ specially when there's no one besides to encourage you... but God will always listen and understand you... In short, pray - pray - and pray...


P/S: I hope you're not an atheist... Good Luck!
