Releasing traumatic emotions energetically

[Sue Heldenbrand]

Everyone at one time or another in their lifetime has had an event or situation that would be considered as traumatic. It could also be a series of stressful or traumatic events. It can be a series of events, abuse, fear produced by a critical and unsupportive parent or anything that produces a feeling of helplessness. These experiences can be overwhelming and dealing with emotions can be difficult. Although the event has ended, the memories may last for months or years to come.

One way that these emotions may be released from the part of the brain that stores these memories is with energy-based therapies. Energy-based therapies use techniques that address all levels of the individual: mental, emotional, spiritual as well as physical and allow the person to heal on whatever level is needed.

What happens in our bodies and our brain when we perceive a threatening situation or we have been through a traumatic situation? Feelings of anger, rage, fear, avoidance and defensiveness are involved in the limbic brain or our emotional brain. There is a section of the limbic or emotional brain that inspires the freeze reaction, sweaty palms, and muscles to tense, protective postures or facial expressions. This area of the brain sends adrenaline and other hormones into the blood stream.

There are unconscious memory centers in our brains that store these traumatic events. When we experience sensations, images, smells, sights or anything that remind us of the trauma, our body reacts as if being a present threat. The traumatic experience still exists in our brain and contains the emotional and conscious memory traces of the event. Our brains are unable to release this message of threat that it is receiving and shows up as symptoms of fear and anxiety.

Using energy based techniques such as Healing Touch can help to release these stuck emotions and give the person a sense of peace and well-being. Practitioners act as facilitators in assisting the individual in their journey to self heal. For more information about this form of trauma release or other forms of energy-based therapies,

Thanks Roger for the comment about my blog. To answer your questions...

Anytime a person has experienced trauma, it can affect their performance in all aspects of their lives. A person may not know why they may feel anxioius or
fearful about a situation or person. They may feel uncomfortable in joining groups or being involved with large groups of people or even with certain
relationships. Any similar experience of that trauma triggers the original anxiety and fears. It can definetly affect a person's performance in networking and the way their life is unfolding. I also work with people energetically doing distant
sessions.

Sue:

Very nice article.

I can imagine how these types of traumas could impact a person's performance and inhibit their ability to work together in teams. Also, I'm sure these types of trauma are often involved with some people being reluctant to get into internet marketing or social networking.

Tell us your experience with energy therapies with folks related to these issues.
