By Stephen Reed


When someone has been through a lot of trauma in their lives, it can be difficult to navigate their way through the basic activities on a day to day basis. One often just wants to stay in bed the whole day. It can be difficult to manage a home, see to the children and go to work. Trauma healing San Diego CA is necessary when someone has been suffering in this way.

Not dealing with the trauma will lead to further complications in one's life. The person may turn to drugs or alcohol. This can provide them with a sense of comfort. It can numb the pain that they are experiencing. They will take their rage out on their family members. They will withdraw and isolate themselves from family and friends. They will become depressed and anxious.

A lot of people enter therapy, not knowing that they have been through a traumatic experience. These memories may have been repressed due to a childhood episode, such as abuse. They would have blocked it out of their mind. It is only when someone goes to therapy for something like depression or anxiety that these emotions start to come to the surface.
