Trauma treatment Nairobi
OUR SERVICES FOR NAIROBI ONLINE PSYCHOTHERAPY
Trauma in the psychological definition of the word is very different from physical trauma treatment Nairobi. Physical trauma refers to an injury that can be seen, often one that leaves a wound, bruise or break that can be fully repaired without any permanent impact on the body.
Trauma treatment Nairobi in the psychological sense is invisible. It is an injury to the mind that is caused by witnessing, hearing or being involved in an event that causes a mental injury. Events that can cause trauma include witnessing or being a victim of a violent crime, seeing violent or emotional abuse in the family, being abused as a child or adult or even seeing something violent on the television or in a movie.
Another aspect of psychological trauma is that it is very different from individual to individual. This is often a result of how much trauma a person has been exposed to in their past, how isolated they feel, the support network that is in place and if the event triggers negative memories from other past experiences. Something that is problematic for one person may have no impact on another, which often leads to emotional trauma being dismissed as unimportant.
