Using Meditation Techniques to Recover from Trauma
Meditation techniques, when used alongside professional help, can play a highly successful role in the process of healing from trauma.
(firmenpresse) - Even if we don’t necessarily know it at the time, trauma visits us all at some stage of our lives. Whether it's physical or emotional, stressful events have the unwelcome ability to affect us in multiple long lasting ways. If ignored, they can change the course of a person's life in a profound way.
Meditation techniques have been found to be highly successful in the process of healing from trauma when used in conjunction with professional treatment. It also helps victims understand the root causes of their distress and how the symptoms of emotional injury can be identified.
Common Causes
While physical distress manifests itself easily, emotional upset may be less obvious – stemming from events that are not necessarily uncommon, but no less traumatic. Divorce, losing a job, death of a friend or relative, sale of a family home, health issues, financial problems and miscarriage are all very common causes of emotional trauma. However, causes of the damage are certainly not limited to those events, and the reasons for emotional trauma are as individual as we are.
Common Responses
The important thing is to be able to recognise that an event has had a stressful impact and that it can trigger a variety of negative emotions, including feelings of disconnection, anxiety and even numbness to what's going on around you. The responses to those feelings can lead to uncharacteristic behaviour and emotions like anger, fear, shame, guilt, irritability, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, increased arousal and changes to sexual relationships.
A sustained combination of these responses can not only be overwhelming mentally, but can also lead to physical symptoms of insomnia, fatigue, panic attacks and increased rapid heartbeat.
The Healing Journey
In order to begin a healing journey, the first step (as always in recovery) is to recognise the problem and accept that help is needed. But when dealing with heightened emotions and mental pressure, the trick is to keep recovery simple and manageable.
Using meditation techniques to heal from trauma means giving yourself over to the process, which may in itself be difficult. You must, above all, be willing and open to healing, and that means being able to ask for and accept help – both from loved ones and professionals.
Incorporating meditation techniques into your daily routine allows you to step away from the noise of your life. Negative emotions can be so rigidly stored inside the psyche that they dominate self-talk and take us to a very dark place. Practicing mindfulness allows us to quieten the chatter in our heads, and affords us the space to enter the thought-free moments that help create deeper feelings of acceptance and wisdom.
In order to effectively detox your heart through meditation techniques, its proponents believe in a "universal law of change": that it is necessary to embrace the pain of negative thoughts as they arise, but have faith that they will dissipate on their own. You should not try to push these thoughts away but instead face them head on and with "kind eyes".
Accept Your Recovery, and Yourself
It's extremely important to accept that there are no quick fixes to this kind of recovery and that you must be patient, trusting (in family, friends and professionals), apply self-care and know that, above all, there is no fault to bear when it comes to trauma. You are already a whole and worthy person.
Note: While meditation and mindfulness are vital tools in your recovery they should be undertaken in addition to, and not in place of, professional help.
