Trauma is also severely stigmatized and marginalized; as if we don’t want to look at it and be confronted with it. It is the silent epidemic running havoc in our lives and affecting our health on all levels; mentally, emotionally and physically. We seem to want to recognize trauma, and only to some degree, for those who have gone to war or are in high-risk professions but the bulk of occurring trauma happens much closer to us.

It is the silent epidemic running havoc in our lives and affecting our health on all levels; mentally, emotionally and physically.

We seem to want to recognize trauma, and only to some degree, for those who have gone to war or are in high-risk professions but the bulk of occurring trauma happens much closer to us. What runs rampant and are more common traumas are:

CHILDHOOD TRAUMA, ABUSE AND NEGLECT (as in; not being wanted, incessant comparing, verbal psychological abuse and bullying, divorcing parents, growing up with alcoholic or depressed parents). https://rolandbal.com/childhood-traum…

SEXUAL ABUSE (nearly 1 in 5 women in the US)

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ABUSE (both in childhood and adulthood)

LOSS AND ABANDONMENT (death of son, daughter, brother, sister, dad or mom)

POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS AFTER SURGERY OR LIFE-THREATENING DISEASE

POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS AFTER ACCIDENTS (especially car-accidents)

Trauma can really overcome anyone.

Feeling misunderstood while recounting your story of trauma happens all too often. Society at large, unfortunately, isn’t trauma informed.

What I intend here, through this website is to change the way we think about and how we approach trauma in a constructive way.

And I have created some tools to help you with this.

– Trauma Essential eBooks; to outline the mechanisms and processes of Trauma. – https://rolandbal.com/trauma-essentials/

– Trauma-Care Audio Guided Meditations to work on your own through guided sessions. – https://rolandbal.com/meditations-for…

– And one-to-one individual online sessions
(An online course including worksheets, ebooks, video and audio material to offer you an interactive way to deeply engage). – https://rolandbal.com/online-counseli…

Resolving Trauma is a process, it is an unfolding of potential, energy and resources that has been frozen in time in body and mind.

Post-Traumatic Stress however doesn’t have to be a life sentence; it can be resolved and I believe together we can do it.
