Trauma Therapy Berlin with Andrea Hofmann

To be precice about what Trauma means, we need to understand what a trauma is. A trauma is generally speaking an experience with a certain kind or/and durance and context which makes it impossible for the person to process it over a period of several months.

There are a lot of different kinds of trauma. The best known are probably events from war, that can be traumatic. Then there is violence from childhood or adulthood.

Furthermore trauma can also mean to have been neglected in childhood, being moobed at school, the lack of love from a parent and of course rape and sexual or other abuse. Very often these kinds of trauma are part of a complex trauma.

Trauma means PTBS / K-PTBS

In the aftermath of trauma when it cannot be processed the person develops some kind of PTSD / C-PTSD. This is Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

If it is a serious of events or a permanent threat, abuse and/ or other dysfunctional behaviour of others or similar circumstances, then it is C-PTSD. It is complex and usually takes place over a certain amount of time, sometimes over years and decades. Very often it is a variation of violence happening in childhood and/ or youth.

Violence can be physical (beatings etc.), emotional (Mobbing, Manipulation, neglect etc.), sexualized (rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse etc.), mental (Brain washing, Gaslighting etc.), religious (being part of a cult etc.).

Symptoms after Trauma / of PTSD, C-PTSD

Symptoms can vary, some have more, some have less. Very often people with PTSD are send to various doctors without being diagnosed properly. The diagnoses are: ADHD, depression, sleeping problems and more. Often they just get medication to fight the symptoms but not the cause (PTSD, C-PTSD).

A lot of people with PTSD / C-PTSD are looking for help for years until they find a therapist or a doctor that understands trauma and diagnoses PTSD.

To really heal the illness and all the symptoms, you need to work on the real cause(s). You need to work on the trauma with the right effective methods. To help the person to finally process the trauma(s).

Trauma therapy Berlin with Andrea Hofmann

Andrea Hofmann works in her practice for more than 20 years with Trauma Therapy: single event trauma, Complex Trauma and various methods of Trauma Therapy.

Research shows that trauma is experienced and stored on three levels: mental, emotional and physical. Therefore good Trauma Therapy needs to adress all the levels – at once. This is possible in working with EMDR, sometimes combined with Constellation work (Systemic Constellations like Family Constellations, Topic Constellations etc.), Inner Child work and others.

Processing the trauma with one or several of these methods helps people to heal, makes the symptoms vanish step by step. Full recovery means you cannot get triggered anymore, the symptoms are gone, your nervous system, your body and soul are calm but full of pover and resilience at the same time. You can choose to act if you like or not to act. You are at peace and so is your body, mind and soul.
