Is your body holding on to Trauma? Dr Caroline LLoyd talks EMDR
Summary
Dr. Caroline Lloyd, a GP and specialist in trauma treatment, discusses the relationship between mental health, trauma, and physical health. Trauma is defined as an event that exceeds a person's capacity to cope. Trauma can accumulate over time, leading to a tipping point where individuals can no longer cope. Trauma can manifest as classic PTSD symptoms or as coping mechanisms such as substance abuse or addictive behaviors. Dr. Lloyd uses EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing) to address trauma and enhance individuals' capacity to cope with past and future traumas. She also emphasizes the importance of integrating traditional medicine and alternative therapies in treatment. EMDR therapy is a transformative and effective treatment for trauma and addiction. It is accessible and can provide significant relief in just six weeks. EMDR therapy can improve sleep by addressing the underlying trauma that causes nightmares and fear of sleep. Hypnosis can complement EMDR therapy by helping with relaxation and grounding. Collaboration with other healthcare professionals, such as nutritionists and exercise physiologists, can enhance the overall treatment approach. Self-care and giving oneself permission to address personal needs are essential for healing and well-being.
