TRAUMA RECOVERY GROUP PROGRAMME

Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

​

Intense psychological distress is part of a normal human response to overwhelming experiences. When something alarming happens to us, our brain usually has the capacity to process the experience and it becomes a memory, that is, the event is perceived as something frightening or fear provoking that happened in the past. On some occasions when there is repeated exposure to ongoing critical incidents or traumas, or when the event is of a significant magnitude, the brain is unable to process the event; the memory of the event or parts of the event stay the focus of our attention as if it were occurring in the here and now. When this occurs Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop.
