Let's open a SPACE
to talk about TRAUMA
AND HOW YOU CAN RECONNECT WITH YOUR SELF IN YOUR CURRENT LIFE
Hi and Welcome !
I am Pia Granjon,
therapist,
working with adults
and young people
living in the aftermath of
Trauma,
Complex Trauma
Developmental Trauma
The word
T R A U M A
comes from
the Greek
πληγή
that means
W O U N D
W O U N D S C A N H E A L
Trauma can be
Acute or coming from a Single Event
Chronic as in PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder]
Complex
Developmental
Acute / Single event
The developped symptoms will naturally resolve within 3 months.
About 70% of us
have been through this
About 20% will develop PTSD
Complex Trauma
Complex Trauma describes bothexposure to multiple traumatic eventsoften as an invasive,interpersonal natureAndThe wide ranging, long term impact of this exposureAdulthood or Childhood
Chronic Trauma
When Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD] symptoms remain after 3 months
Developmental Trauma
Refers to the impact of early, repeated trauma and loss which happens within the child’s important developmental phases of their life.Usually early in life.Unborn babies can suffer trauma to their developing mind and body when they are in the womb
We are working in Collaboration
Together on this path
Working with someone in the aftermath of one or several traumatic event/s requires from the therapist to Be with you with a real Conscious Presence and Awareness of what is communicated both Verbally and Non-Verbally
We are working in the Here and Now whilst we may need, at times, to process past events.
The traumatic event is not what left the deeper imprint in you
But the fact that there was no one to Witness what you have been through
THE MODALITIES I CAN OFFER
The Structural Dissociation Model
developed by Kathy Steele, MN, CS, Onno van der Hart, PhD,
and Ellert Nijenhuis, PhD
with the work of Janina Fisher, specialised in Fragmented Selves / Dissociation
A sense of humour
when appropriate
for you
Common sense:
Information on your basic needs
that can influence your mood
and daily functioning
your sleep, physical exercise,
connection with others
and diet
[I am not a qualified dietician
and cannot offer advice,
but I am aware
of the impact a diet has
on mental health]
