Symbolic Death and Rebirth In Trauma Recovery
"The length of time from a traumatic event and access to a specialist service averages 15 Years, (Brabbins et. al, 2013) and when ‘one finally reaches the psychotherapy room, more than one traumatic event is often reported, highlighting the resilience and resourcefulness of people following trauma’, (Murphy & Joseph, 2014)."
"It is essential NOT to be judged, to be held wholly unconditionally and this is the strongest catalyst for change that I know, a humanistic, person centred approach, which means being the most loving and accepting mirror that gently feeds back what is seen, heard, sensed and felt without judgement. It is the single biggest luxury on the planet to be truly seen by another and to not be judged. Sometimes I feel as though I have had the ultimate crash course in unconditional love, in the first instance, for myself, and which now allows me to extend this frequency outside of myself to others."
"The journey of self expertise starts within, when you are quiet and when you tune into and observe your feelings and felt bodily states and those of others. The reason why we avoid doing so, is because sometimes, it’s just too dam painful, and then it is much easier to distract ourselves with verbal narratives and anything else that allows us to avoid doing the real work.
That is when sometimes we may need the help of a good therapist that understands the importance and significance of the body in psychotherapy."
