Gary Smith
Trauma and PTSD therapy
Specialising in trauma and PTSD therapy, Gary Smith Psychotherapy in Swindon, Wiltshire offers compassionate support and healing. With a focus on holistic well-being, we provide a safe space for you to explore your emotions and experiences. My tailored approach aims to empower you on your journey towards mental wellness and resilience.
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope.
It can cause intense feelings of fear, helplessness, and insecurity. Trauma can have long-term effects on an individual's physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.
The effects of trauma are felt both physically and emotionally and can have a huge impact on our lives.
You may have symptoms such as,
-
Phobias
-
Mood swings
-
Anxiety
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Difficulty concentrating
-
Distorted self-image
-
Interrupted emotional functioning.
-
Increased sensitivity to threat perception
-
flash backs
-
Depression
Using neurolinguistic programming and the Rewind method, we will identify the root cause of the trauma and allow the brain to process the information in a different way to allow the emotional response to be reduced. We will utilise guided relaxation in the sessions to reduce anxiety which drastically speeds up the process.
