Energy Healing and Trauma Completion

How trauma affects the nervous system and our daily life

We have all heard the statement “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger."

I beg to differ. It depends on how the person reacts to the trauma after surviving it. Trauma does not necessarily make a person stronger. However, it can make a person less sensitive to future trauma, which unfortunately means they have successfully suppressed their trauma. What some people perceive as “being strong” is actually someone's ability to dissociate, avoid and resist dealing with their trauma.

 We as humans seem to lack the animal ability to complete a trauma cycle after surviving it, whether it was emotional, physical or sexual abuse. All animals in the wild go through the process of shaking off their trauma, or perhaps resembling the action they may have needed at the time of the attack, i.e. running as if it is completing the act of survival. They go through the process of completing trauma.

 Completing trauma is a way of discharging retained autonomic (nervous system) energy. You may feel this in healing, a physical and energetic response to releasing the pain from the body.

 We as humans may physically survive a trauma but never complete the trauma. The experience may be imprinted and stored in the brain and suppress adrenaline in the body and the muscles making the body want to protect itself from possible threats.

 This behavior surfaces as tension and is why past trauma can create many long-term symptoms in humans. Depression, anxiety, chronic pain, dis-ease, suicide.

 When we survive trauma, there is often no release of this nervous energy, so we may carry this energy for the rest of our lives.

According to epigenetics, it can also be passed down to future generations. 

 Any successful healing must enable us to complete our trauma cycles from the mind and body unfortunately in many modalities, the client is guided to relive ​their trauma. Our energy transmissions and ​bodily processes ​allow a person to not only complete trauma but also ​resolve specific traumas without talking about it ​and ​relive the trauma. There is a saying in trauma terms​: " We do not have to stick our head in the soup to know it smells nice​,​" meaning we can work with the traumatic energy without going to the ​traumatic event itself.  

 Becoming numb or feeling paralysed by our past may have served us once in positive ways. However, this positive survival tactic can have negative consequences, as this numbness will influence every area of our life.

 It is all connected.

 We can't change the past and what happened, but we can change how we perceive it and move forward and how it affects us right now.
