To fully address trauma and the resulting symptoms, it is important to first understand the differences between shock trauma and complex or developmental trauma. Shock trauma comes from a singular, sudden event, like a car accident, sudden death of a loved one, physical injury, falls, medical procedures, birth trauma, etc. An experience like fighting in a war can also cause shock trauma through multiple exposures to traumatic events.
Shock trauma causes not only a psychological response but a physiological one, too. Your body underwent a significant arousal of energy leading up to a fight, flight, or freeze response. Shock trauma is often experienced as a feeling of overwhelm that interrupts the flow and ease of life. You may feel as though there is a "before" state, of your life before the event, and an "after" state, in which you currently exist. SE™ can be highly effective in allowing you to discharge the arousal and integrate the pieces that became fragmented following the traumatic incident.
Complex trauma or complex PTSD is known to stem from chronic, ongoing trauma, sometimes called Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and is often relational in nature. These experiences can vary widely from divorce, having a parent with mental illness or substance use issues, parental abandonment, witnessing violence, not having enough food or clean clothing, or verbal, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.
Experiences like these can lead to attachment issues, emotional flashbacks, emotional dysregulation, negative self-concept, and disturbances in relationships. Even further, they can lead to physical and emotional disorders ranging from chronic pain and fatigue to digestive disorders to anxiety and depression. Those who have experienced complex trauma may feel as though they are a shell of a person, unable to fully connect and find aliveness. NARM™ is designed to address the patterns that stem developmental trauma to bring peace and connection to your life.
