If you are suffering from PTSD then the very first thing you are looking for is ‘safety’. One of the biggest problems about suffering from PTSD is that you feel as if people do not understand you, what you are going through, or what you have been through. Most often, they do not! How could they? What you have been through is something that most people in the world could not conceive of. People can debate it, study it, talk about it, but unless they have been through it, they have no idea what someone who suffers from PTSD is going through.
So the very first thing you need is to feel safe, understood, and appreciated for what you have been through. You need to know that there is reverence for you, appreciation for something that may not be understood, yet still appreciated (this is reverence). Most therapists are textbook-driven, which means that they do not have an integral understanding of what real trauma is or feels like. The problem is that they cannot understand you and do not have the tools to bridge the gap between where you are and where they are. In fact, it’s more like a chasm in that it is just too broad of a gap for them to span consciously.
A therapist, who has spent his or her life studying textbooks and accumulating credentials, working with average every-day people, is not a good match for you. If you are a war veteran, rape victim, or refugee from a third world atrocity then there are precious few people who are going to understand and have the necessary reverence for what you have been through. In fact, more likely than not, only around 7% of therapists will actually be able to relate to you in a way that makes you feel appreciated for the sheer gravity of what you’ve been through. This is due to the fact that most therapists have not been exposed to any sort of extreme adversity within their own lives. In other words, it’s virtually impossible for them to relate to what you have been through from within the confines of an ‘atypical lifestyle’.
So you need to know that you are appreciated and respected for your ability to simply survive what you’ve been through. Instead of feeling isolated due to the sheer gap between what you and the average person have experienced in life, you need a safe place to be able to open and up express yourself. Without that feeling of safety then you may never be able to fully open up. This would seem to be obvious, yet most therapists are not quite there yet.
Emotional Integration on PTSD
The essence of pain and suffering is due to the suppression of painful emotions by your psyche. The psyche, in its inability to deal with extremely emotionally painful situations that arise, will attempt to protect you from this massive amount of pain by suppressing the emotions created from the experience. When this happens you are temporarily protected from the emotion of the experience and thus able to maintain your societal functionality. However, due to the fact that these painful emotions are suppressed in your psyche, they are not gone, but still present. Now, instead of being at the surface of your awareness where you can access them and know where the pain is coming from, they are deeply buried within your own subconscious. Here they will start to manifest adversity for you in the form of unconscious reactivity (which means to begin to feel badly and not know why, but further, to physically act out on this in ways that are attempts for you to not feel pain; drinking alcohol, taking drugs, and/or depression/violence/suicidal tendencies).
One of the trickiest aspects of deeply suppressed emotional charges is that they are suppressed because your psyche is trying to protect itself.
In other words, there is a part of you that feels as if it needs to keep you from ‘re-experiencing’ this trauma from the past. Further, that if you do not keep it repressed within your subconscious, you will be doomed to relive this trauma over and over again. So, in essence, your psyche does not want to let these suppressed emotional charges come up to the surface for fear of having to relive the event/s.
Emotional Integration is one of the first forms of therapy to cut straight through to the source of the problem; which is your deeply suppressed emotional charges from the traumatic experiences. Additionally, Emotional Integration is one of the first forms of therapy to recognize how the psyche operates and use this operational foundation as a vehicle for permanent healing. In other words, Emotional Integration respects the psyche’s right to protect itself and through honoring it, allows the psyche to actually healitself. The technique offers an unprecedented breakthrough in healing due to the fact that it addresses healing at the actual source. The source of all pain and suffering comes from your suppressed emotional charges. Once this has been healed you are free to live a normal, happy, and productive life again.
You need no longer remain imprisoned within your own mind.
Emotional Integration has one aim and one aim only: to access and release (integrate) your suppressed emotional charges. When you can access, in a safe place, your deeply suppressed emotional charges and allow them (in a safe place) to fully surface, magic can and will happen. This magic is the integration of one of your deeply suppressed emotional charges. The result is also an integration (bringing back into one) of the part of your psyche associated with this emotional aspect of yourself. When this occurs, you will not only feel more at peace within yourself and less emotionally reactive, but you will also experience a greater sense of ‘self’. This means that a part of your personality has been ‘freed up’ and can now bring additional intelligence back into your psyche.
Emotional Integration is powerful in that, quite often, you may experience complete healing in only one session. Often, total healing can be accomplished in as little as 6 sessions. This is because Emotional Integration bypasses the ‘why’ which would enable your ego to continue to create ‘phantom reasons’ for your pain and suffering. The ego loves statistics, reasons, logic, and rationale due to the fact that it can prolong its life and bolster its sense of ‘self importance’ in this way. Emotional Integration does not care ‘why’ you suffer, but focuses on the actual healing instead.
An important question to ask yourself is: ‘Do I want to know why or do I want to be healed?’
The ego wants to know why. The Soul wants to be healed.
Emotional Integration offers the fast track to reclaiming your emotional freedom and reclaiming your life. It is never too late to take your life back and to feel fully alive again.
