Why Do People Feel They Can Heal Their Own Mental Health (trauma)?

I find it amazingly infantile for any adult to believe that they can magically let go of the trauma that has hindered their lives forever!?

Where do people get this idea? I really don’t know because it seems to me that if you have tried doing this on your own and have not been able to take care of the problem, maybe it is time for you to be a bit more realistic and get professional help you require. I am certain that if you had a physical ailment you would go see a doctor or chiropractor and figure out what it is that is causing the problem and then go about getting rid of it.?

So, once again, why is it that so many people especially on social media feel that they have the ability to do something that first of all they have no training or understanding of in the majority of cases, and secondly are unable to understand from the outside perspective what needs to be done to get the healing work done?

If you or someone you love is dealing with traumas from the past, especially ones that go back to your childhood, you will need a professional to help you to overcome them. I know in my hypnosis and neuro-linguistic practice that practically every issue a client has employed me to help them with went back to childhood trauma. Sure, there were some other traumas that came in adulthood when the partners were chosen who were abusive and in some cases used them in various ways but that was because of the childhood trauma creating a lack of ability to choose a partner who could treat these folks in a respectful manner.

The problems that I have helped people heal from going through the entire gambit of presentation anxiety from being embarrassed doing a presentation in elementary or high school to people who are dealing with major depression, eating disorders, sex addiction, and major anxiety. This is because these other issues arise from the subconscious mind doing everything in its power to defend you from like issues going forward. The only problem is that for the majority of clients, they are no longer living in the environments that were the reason their subconscious minds created the defense mechanisms in the first place.?

So, do you really believe that you have the ability to go into your own subconscious mind, figure out what the defense mechanism is, why it is continuing, and then be able to clear it out of your brain forever??

Because, those of you who are endlessly asking others for advice on how to treat trauma on their own, are expecting to be able to do exactly that and I have no problem telling you straight up that this is a fool’s mission.?

We need professionals, including myself, to help us to better understand why we developed the defense mechanisms and then how to get them out of our lives so we can enjoy really great lives. Because the reality is that professionals exist to help us with these things. Best to take advantage of their being available. No matter the cost, isn’t it worth the investment to no longer be triggered by the ghosts of the past??
