Therapy and The Origins of Anxiey/Trauma

We experience anxiety due to being overwhelmed by situations often outside our control, or where we have very limited resources to cope.  Our wish is to 'fight' or 'flee' the harm posed.

Trauma is an extreme form of anxiety that typically has us scanning our environment for harm.
We can also be overly sensitised to the cues of harm as a result of past traumatic experience/s.
It tends to make individuals 'edgy' and temperamental to the actions of others.

Both conditions are a 'parasympathetic' response to a condition of threat which at a base level involves our survival as a species.

Importantly, there are therapies that can reduce the effects of past trauma and the experience of anxiety/panic attacks, so that it becomes possible to again live with positivism, and peace and harmony with self and others.
