Our integrated approach includes therapy solutions created in accordance to your requirements. Uncovering and re-processing past trauma requires a safe and empathetic understanding and approach. You need to be empowered to take control of your emotional state and that takes time and guidance.

The symptoms of unresolved trauma can involve substance use disorders, relationship and many other behaviour related issues. Traumatised people struggle to find ways to cope in present-day life as they are plagued by the remnants of these past-trauma memories.

While the immediate stressors might seem like new event targets such as relationship issues, losing your job, stress due to children or spouse, injury, divorce, death of a friend or loved one, financial problems, abusive partners, violence, physical or psychological abuse can further contribute or exasperate the underlying damaged emotions from past trauma.

This net effect results in highly unregulated emotional states with unintended behaviours, which can have incredibly dire consequences if left unchecked or unsupported.

Our multi-disciplined therapists can help you to work within your emotional landscape by guiding your unresolved traumatic experiences and present upheavals to a better and more congruent outcomes.

Treatment at Recovery Direct is split up into two main categories, namely inpatient and outpatient treatment. A one-hour assessment process precedes all treatments and is designed to align the right therapist with the presented information from the patient. Once this has been completed, the prospective patient’s eligibility for either the inpatient or outpatient programme is also determined.

Traumatic Stress disrupts the nervous system and the emotional balance of the person.

Anxiety, panic, hyperactivity and vigilance, inability to relax, emotional flooding, sleeplessness, rage and hostility reflect this.

As long as these conditions exist, the trauma sufferer will turn to coping mechanisms like substance abuse, excessive medication, food, sex/porn, gambling and shopping, depression, self-mutilation, self-sabotage and sexual dysfunction, ADHD, burnout, sleep disorders, borderline personality disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome amongst others.

Damaged emotions can lead to a lifetime of unstable or compulsion based behaviours if left untreated.
These behaviours often shift, morph and repeat themselves into present-day relationships or cycles that frequently cause you further pain or trauma.

The good news is that your mind always wants to heal itself and with the right help we can get you from where you are now, to where you want to be.

We work within psychodynamic frameworks, by providing empathetic person-centred therapeutic care, working around their narratives, cognitive behavioural therapy, trauma reprocessing and mindfulness techniques, where appropriate.

Trauma unsettling events become the deeper drivers of many avoidance, denial and self-defeating behaviours that get subconsciously locked into repeating present cycles.

Your mind psychologically wants to “protect” or “soothe” you, using these repeating cycles as it sees them as the “safest” option, given the circumstances.

In order to reprogram your mind away from these cycles, we need to safely identify and settle your understanding of these past events in a secure, structured & dedicated program.

Then discover new channels to functionally fit into your daily life to help you mediate your future self when confronted with new external “triggers” or stressors.
