New Technique to calm emotions due to stress, PTSD or trauma

Online, December 7, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Listening to the news, we are inundated with reports of terrorism, violence, disasters and armed conflicts. As a result, the trauma and chronic stress that this produces has a tremendous negative effect on our health. This takes an enormous toll on our physical health as well as our mental well-being which cannot be underestimated.

When a state of helplessness and lack of control accompanies negative life experiences, our brains are unable to rid themselves of the messages of threat. Even after the traumatic situation is over, our emotional brain still reacts to memories cues during the "fight, flight or freeze reaction". This may be experienced when there is a similar sight, smell, situation or person that is a reminder of the original event. Emotions and body sensations show up as symptoms of anger, fear, anxiety, muscular tension or rage.

There are techniques available that do not require verbal responses such as in Healing Touch that help to extinguish the portions of traumatic memory with ease, without having to "re live the experience".

By eliciting the natural healing processes of the body, calm and compassion is restored.

This is great for anyone that has gone through any sort of traumatic situation or accident.
