Trauma Treatment

Creating a Foundation for Recovery

Do you feel burdened by the effects of a traumatic event? Unable to move on and feel constantly weighed down by anxiety, fear, and even flashbacks.

If so, then you could be suffering from acute trauma. The effects of trauma can imprint itself in our daily lives, leaving us feeling hopeless and powerless.

Acute trauma typically manifests itself four weeks following a traumatic experience; it can also transform into PTSD if left untreated. A single event can trigger acute trauma. When we encounter something emotionally challenging or traumatic, it can overwhelm the part of the nervous system in charge of ensuring our survival and become stuck in a threat response.

Very often, acute trauma symptoms come on quickly and leave us in shock. It is important to remember that you are not alone. At Kedras we have a highly trained team ready to help you in your healing journey.

Get To Know the Symptoms of Acute Trauma

Acute trauma has several symptoms. They vary depending on the type of trauma and the severity of the experience; everyone’s experience of acute trauma is unique. However, there are some more common ones, some of which may not be as obvious to outsiders as others.

The signs include anxiety, panic, confusion, flashbacks of the event, hypervigilance (always being on guard), loss of concentration, substance use, grief, suicidal thoughts, and personal neglect.

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, it may indicate you are suffering from acute trauma.

“I had been through numerous types of therapy in the past with varying degrees of success, but this is the first time that therapy has got to the root of the problem. This has been made possible by the innovative approach at Kedras Clinics and the techniques they use”.

We are here to help

“I really hated myself and felt vastly inferior to other people, that, somehow, I wasn’t good enough to be part of society. I felt I had no rights, that other people’s needs were far more important than mine. I found it hard to be assertive and ask for what I wanted. I always had to try to please others, or I’d be rejected. It’s such a relief to come to NF after years of working so hard at talking therapy. I can feel myself calming down during the sessions and all I have to do is to watch and listen and feel my body.”

“You have changed my life and I am a much better wife than I ever was. I am calmer and much more rational. I am immeasurably less self-rejecting and selfattacking. I have more relaxed and comfortable relationships with other people, because I am more accepting of myself and, therefore, imagine that they find me more acceptable.”

“It is like getting a hug from all the parts of you that have been hurting for so long, and feeling all the compassion and acknowledgement that they should have felt at the time. It has changed me as I am less suicidal and anxious, and more connected with my body and the world. I have accomplished things over the last 2 years that I never thought I would be able to do...”
