First Aid for Emotional Trauma
by Parijat Wismer

Effective care and healing time is as essential for emotional trauma as it is for physical injury. If emotional trauma is attended to with skill, love and care, then healing can happen with a minimum of scarring and future limitation. If this care is not given, the painful memory may be locked into the body/mind like a hologram that can be triggered again and again by any event that looks, smells, sounds or feels like the original event. Kinesiology often takes a client to these unhealed experiences.

Knowing how to help a traumatized person in present time empowers a friend or even a stranger to help effectively. Many people avoid talking to the emotionally injured person or avoid talking about what has happened, because they themselves feel uncomfortable and don’t know what to say or do. This often leads to the person in pain avoiding letting others know how they honestly are, because they don’t want “to be a burden”, “trouble” or they don’t want to see the people around them suffering or worrying because of them. They push their feelings deeper into the body and may develop unhealthy coping mechanisms.

We all use coping mechanisms under pressure, to help us survive the immediate pain. However, it is important not to get stuck in a pain behaviour or survival reaction.

This is where First Aid for Emotional Trauma comes into action.
Emotional trauma affects every aspect of the human being. Acupuncture meridians become unbalanced, digestion and elimination don’t work properly, we can’t think creatively and immune function is put on hold. This can lead to degeneration of a person’s health. The effects of longstanding stress have been well researched and documented.

The saying “time will heal” is only true if we allow the healing process to unfold. Many people don’t know how to let healing happen and how to support the process. Often they end up suppressing the experience they’ve had.
We are born with an amazing ability to handle stress and survive trauma. However, if trauma is suppressed rather than healed, recovery may not happen fully. If trauma is not attended to with care, many other areas of life may be affected.

Emotional First Aid follows a priority protocol, just like physical First Aid. You can learn the practical steps needed and share them with others.
