Childhood Trauma, Neglect and Adverse Childhood Experiences
When we are born we are hard-wired to connect with our caregivers. Human beings mature slowly, our brains learn through social interaction and we are dependent upon our parents for our survival longer than any other mammal.
Linked ArticleWhat is Tapping?
“When my first major panic attack happened and I actually thought I was having a heart attack. I got my husband to phone the ambulance. It was horrendous – a horrible space to be living in. I was going through a lot at that time and I was going to bed at night and waking up with the attacks. The doctor said ‘No, you’ve got anxiety’ and just put me under that umbrella term. I just found it so frustrating that they weren’t helping me so I got connected with EFT.”

“This article describes the series of interventions that energy therapist Dale Petterson utilized over the course of one session with one highly sensitive 10-year-old boy.

“[In 1991, Russian Researchers] found that the light-conducting ability of the human body exists only along the meridians, and can enter and exit only along the acupuncture points. This finding has been confirmed by a 1992 study in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a 2005 study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine where moxibustion and infrared thermography were used to trace meridian pathways.”
Linked ArticleThe Dissociation Capsule
“Although EMDR has achieved recognition after years of exhaustive study, the esoteric nature of most of somatically-based techniques has relegated them to the dustbin of accepted trauma therapy, despite their widespread use in many parts of the world, and the many uncontrolled studies that reflect positive results.
We may have at our disposal therapeutic techniques that ultimately promise the quality of healing trauma that we have yet to achieve.”

Thanks to her mother, she was able to trace her nerves about having to give a speech back to being 17 and at school. “I had to give a speech in a sociology class and it went really badly. I had done so much research, I got overwhelmed and froze. I felt really awful… But we tapped through that and it has made me much more confident.”
Linked ArticleUnique Trauma Calls for Unique Treatments Backed by Neuroscience
“Existing treatments for PTSD include exposure-based therapy, which can be helpful for individuals who can stick with the sessions. But, as Grupe points out, this treatment requires individuals to relive the trauma, which can be both difficult and stressful. Additionally, antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs for treating PTSD can have a lot of negative side effects, and while they can reduce certain symptoms in the short-term (in particular hyperarousal), they are most useful when used alongside other forms of treatment.” …
