FAQ: What are Common Signs that someone might need Trauma Counselling?

At Life to the Full, we understand that identifying the need for trauma counselling can be a complex process, as the very term "trauma" can encompass a wide spectrum of experiences and their severity. We aim to offer a specialised service, primarily delivered within our clinical psychology framework, which addresses significant past hurts or current challenging situations that are impacting an individual's wellbeing.

You might benefit from trauma counselling if you are experiencing any of the following, as these are often indicators that professional support could be beneficial:

• Lingering "Past Hurts" or Impact from "Abusive Relationships":

If you have a history of what we refer to as "past hurts" or "issues from your childhood," or if you've experienced an "abusive relationship," these are often underlying factors that indicate a need for trauma-focused support.

• Impact on Everyday Life:

A crucial sign to consider is whether a past or present traumatic experience is impacting your everyday life or inhibiting your personal growth. This suggests that these experiences are hindering your ability to function or flourish.

• Persistent Feelings of Un-safety:

If you consistently find yourself feeling unsafe in various situations, this can be a strong indicator that you may need to address underlying trauma.

• Pervasive Feelings of Powerlessness:

Experiencing a pervasive sense of being powerless over your circumstances or emotions is another common sign that trauma counselling could be beneficial.

• Feelings of Unworthiness:

If these experiences have left you feeling unworthy or "less than," this is a significant emotional impact that our services are equipped to help you address. We focus on the biblical principle of identity, asserting that individuals are beloved children of God regardless of their experiences.

These feelings and experiences suggest that there may be underlying trauma that needs attention. Our goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these challenges and help you move towards healing and flourishing. While we respect your spiritual boundaries if you do not identify as Christian, all our services can be delivered within a Christian worldview if that is something you are seeking.
