Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can occur after someone has been through an event where they witnessed or experienced a life-threatening situation. When someone goes through trauma, the brain releases chemicals that create feelings of anxiety and fear.
The trauma causes changes in the way nerve cells to work in the parts of the brain that creates memories, leading to flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety. Chronic exposure to traumatic events leads to complex PTSD. It is possible to recover from complex PTSD through therapy offered in a Complex PTSD Retreat.
Acute Stress Disorder
Acute stress is the sudden onset of an overwhelming traumatic event or situation that can cause panic attacks, flashbacks, and nightmares. People with acute stress disorder may have difficulty sleeping and concentrating, feel detached from their own emotions, and have trouble making decisions.
They may also experience physical symptoms like muscle tension or headaches. Retreat therapy is beneficial for many types of trauma, and it can be helpful for people who have experienced acute stress disorder.
Sexual Trauma
Sexual trauma can be triggered by any experience related to sex or sexual activity, including rape, molestation, incest, and physical assault. Sexual trauma often occurs in childhood and has long-lasting effects on the individual’s mental health and well-being into adulthood.
It is important to note that the effects of sexual trauma are not limited to those who have experienced it. The effects can be seen in the family and friends of the survivor as well. Both active and passive sexual trauma victims can receive intensive therapy for healing purposes.
Dissociative Disorders
Dissociative disorders are a group of mental illnesses where one’s identity becomes fragmented and depersonalized. Dissociative disorders are caused by psychological trauma. The major dissociative disorders are Dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, and depersonalization disorder. Dissociative amnesia is a loss of memory that cannot be attributed to organic brain damage and is often triggered by a traumatic event.
Dissociative fugue is characterized by an individual’s sudden disappearance and confusion about their identity. Depersonalization disorder can cause the sufferer to feel detached from their own body or like they are living in a dream-like state. Trauma Retreat Centers provide programs that allow individuals to recover from such disorders.
