Psychological Trauma: The Restoration of the Self
Copyright :
Childhood trauma continues to be on the rise within families due to lack of social support and generational trauma. The creation of effective treatments are in place to decrease the growth of trauma in children that can fester into adulthood. Part of the effective treatment is having sources visible and accessible and implementing the support system for the family dynamics to have their basic social and mental health needs met. One effective way of gaining a better perspective of how trauma affects people physically is to utilize biofeedback. With the utilization of biofeedback, the client is able to build up the tolerance against the trauma they are processing and to regulate their emotions. Another formation that is being utilized is psychedelic therapy. Studies are on a rise with the usage of psychedelic therapy with the usage of MDMA, psilocybin, and other psychedelic drugs. With psychedelic drugs being known to help with drug addictions, it is also useful to help with certain mental illnesses. The research and trials are still in the growing stages to help gain support from the medical field and mental health field.
