TRAUMA & INTEGRATIVE COUNSELLING
Trauma Counselling In Sea Point
Navigating trauma can feel like wandering through a maze of emotions and pain, a deep ocean of memories waiting to be explored. It's a journey filled with uncertainty and shadows, but within that darkness lies a flicker of hope, a yearning to heal.
​
Trauma therapy offers a guiding light through this labyrinth of emotions. It's a safe haven where your experiences are respected and understood without judgment. It's a space where you're heard, seen, and validated.
​
In therapy, you're gently encouraged to confront the pain at your own pace. It's about peeling back layers, acknowledging the hurt, and slowly integrating fragmented parts of yourself.
​
It might be overwhelming, reliving the storm that caused the damage. But through the tears and tremors, healing becomes possible. It's about reclaiming your power and not letting the trauma define you.
​
Therapy isn't about erasing the past; it's about reshaping your relationship with it. It's reclaiming ownership of your story and rewriting it from a place of resilience. It's learning coping mechanisms and finding strength in vulnerability.

Emotional & Physical Pain
The greatest journey of your life is always the road that takes you from the depths of your pain and delivers you to the triumph of regaining control of your life. Anything you want in life, be it growth, a new job, less stress, a better relationship with you family or transforming a friendship with work colleagues requires your rational conscious brain to provide the necessary solution.
​
The relief from your emotional trauma that you are seeking is often much closer than it might appear. This insight simply requires you to understand the chemistry of converting your emotional pain to a higher level of self-control. It can, at first, be so hard to let it go of emotional pain, which is often linked to a physical pain.
Trauma counselling at its core is remembering the past emotion and physical pain in such a manner that its intensity no longer has in impact on your rational thought process. In essence, the painful trauma is moved from an unconscious to a conscious level and no longer remains hidden from sight.
Trauma & The Brain
Understanding your brain's response to emotional pain is key to beating it. The parts of the brain that process physical pain are very similar to the parts that process emotional pain.
Your rational, conscious part of your brain does not store emotional or physical pain but acts as a very powerful computer that is able to analyse and provide you with solutions with the information that it has stored as memory.
​
Painful memory is stored in the unconscious or pre-conscious mind and will have an impact on how the emotions of anxiety, stress, anger, guilt and depression has an impact on your daily life.
