Is trauma really about personal resilience?

How much vs. how little exposure?

Are some people just stronger than others in the wake of trauma?

Understanding Small Ts and Large Ts

The truth is, someone doesn’t have to experience an overly distressing event in order for it to affect them deeply. In fact, the build up of smaller, everyday experiences can really take a toll. Trauma, whether big or small, can linger and affect your everyday life.

The “Large Ts” are usually the experiences most people think about when it comes to trauma. Military combat, sexual abuse, and natural disasters are commonly fall under the category of “Large Ts”. These types of trauma are the ones often associated with PTSD and leave people feeling powerless.

On the other hand, “Small Ts” can also interfere with your mental wellness. They too can disrupt emotional functioning and cause people to feel depressed and hopeless. Small traumas include situations such as family conflicts to financial stress, or divorce/ infidelity. Small traumas can accumulate and take an even bigger toll over time.

Who Gets PTSD & Who Doesn’t?

PTSD is a complex diagnosis. Trauma affects people differently. Factors like your past, perception of the event, and personal tolerance all matter. Also, not all combat service members are diagnosed with PTSD. The difference between developing trauma-related symptoms (or not) also has to do with how individuals process the trauma. Avoidance can lead to PTSD which is why it’s so important to heal.

Whether large or small, the way you perceive trauma is not a sign of weakness. Your journey to healing starts with self-love and acceptance. Dr. Madaram has a special interest in military personnel and veterans who suffer with depression, anxiety, PTSD and other disorders that interfere with their lives. He’s here to help you heal from all types of trauma in order to live your best life. Call today 919-802-1417

Experiencing any sort of trauma can be a life-changing event. If you’ve lost something crucial to your well-being, you can’t often tell what the outcome will be. Sometimes losses can be caused by a disorder that drives you to do things you wouldn’t normally do.

And when that happens, you can feel pretty helpless and powerless.

Trauma recovery can be a challenge, but with the right support, there are ways to recover, rebuild, and move forward with your life.

Start By Labeling Your Feelings

When you feel powerless, you feel afraid to express your needs because you fear that even more will be taken from you. When you start the path to recovery, small steps can have a BIG impact. Put one foot in front of the other each day. Start by talking about how you feel and why. When you identify and engage in your emotions, you can slowly start to take positive action.

Develop The Right Mindset

As you try to move away from trauma, having the right mindset is essential to recovery. Find ways to help you stay present. Try to live in the moment. Develop an attitude of gratitude to help you find the good in each day. This can help slowly build up your self-esteem and confidence.

Healing after trauma starts with believing in yourself and the potential you have. Let Dr. Madarm take of of the “hows” of recovery at Freedom Psychiatry.

Has anyone ever told you to “look at the big picture” in life?

Goodness, completion, and restoration are all part of the big picture. It’s the optimal state. Looking at the big picture is exactly what we do at Freedom Psychiatry.

Holistic Psychiatry is about looking at each person wholly. It’s about helping patients thrive by integrating their mind, body, and emotions. It’s about looking at the big picture instead of just one’s psychiatric symptoms.

How Does It Work?

When we address the whole person, we try to identify the obstacle(s) preventing them from thriving. It’s about finding the root cause of your psychiatric symptoms that might be effecting you physically and emotionally as well. We provide a warm and inviting environment for our patients. We care about finding solutions to get to the root of the problem.

It’s not just about covering it up as a short term solution. Holistic Psychiatry is much more! It’s about restoration in life. Restoring a patient’s thoughts, emotions, and body because they are all connected.

Mental vs. Emotional Health

Mental and emotional health are connected, but they are not interchangeable. Recognizing the difference between the two can help people better understand our holistic approach.

Scientifically speaking, mental health is often defined by a person’s behaviors related to the brain. Mental illnesses are actually caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. They can be hereditary or caused by other factors. Mental illnesses should be treated just as you’d treat any physical illness.

Our mental health is an essential part of our overall, holistic health.

On the other hand, emotions are an instinctive, natural state of mind. They’re a result of our circumstances, mood, and other factors that affect the way we feel. Many times negative emotions or feelings develop through trauma, difficult life situations, or unhealthy stress.

It’s hard to tell the differences between mental and emotional health issues which is why we’re here to help create mental and emotional freedom for your entire family.

Holistic Healing

If you or a loved one is suffering from unhealthy stress, trauma, anxiety, depression or any other mental or emotional health illness, we’re here for you. A more fulfilling and rewarding life awaits!
