Why use yoga as an adjunct treatment for ptsd? thought to be caused by a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, ptsd affects the survivors of trauma. With growing evidence to suggest that yoga can aid in ptsd recovery, this guide offers an introductory exploration of yoga’s potential as an adjunct treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. It’s an unfortunate fact that many people will encounter significant trauma at some point during their lives. For most, the weeks or months of upset in the aftermath of a traumatic event will eventually pass, and they will be able to move on. For others, however, the development of post-traumatic stress disorder stands in the way of a return to normal life.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Evidence suggests that post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) and the after-effects of other traumatic experiences (such as being in an accident, being assaulted, witnessing a violent crime, etc) respond well to specific kinds of psychological therapy, such as cognitive-behaviour therapy (cbt) and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (emdr). However sometimes clients instead prefer to come for counselling or psychotherapy to help deal with trauma-related issues.
We have a great deal of experience in all of these approaches to trauma therapy. During your initial session, your practitioner will work with you to agree a therapy plan. This may include trying one particular type of therapy or a combination of approaches, depending on your individual circumstances and preferences.
Research evidence suggests that post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) and other forms of trauma (such as road accident or assault) respond well to specific kinds of psychological therapy, such as cognitive-behaviour therapy (cbt) and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (emdr). However, we are also able to offer more general counselling or psychotherapy, which can also be helpful for some clients dealing with trauma related issues.
Although there can be cross-over between single incident trauma, or ptsd, and more complicated developmental trauma, ptsd is generally used to describe a single or limited sequence of distressing experiences that have not been processed. A good example of ptsd would be a car accident where there are interlinking sequences of events that keep being re-experienced after the event. These could be the initial impact, the car spinning, secondary impacts, the emergency services arriving, being in the ambulance etc. And the ‘symptoms’ can range from ‘flashbacks to, ‘fight or flight’ responses out of context, all of which are very distressing.
The natural healing from trauma can take several weeks after an incident. Symptoms are usually expected to subside and resolve themselves in time. If you are still having symptoms after 4 weeks then speak to your gp about seeking medical advice or specialist trauma support. If you have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd), then specialist psychological support such as eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (emdr) or trauma focused cognitive behavioural therapy (tfcbt) is needed.
