Acute Stress Disorder – Three Essential Treatment Techniques to Overcome Traumatic Stress

 

Acute stress disorder can develop in a person who goes through something extremely traumatic. This disorder is characterized by anxiety, recurrent images or flashbacks of the traumatic event, and disturbances in behavior. Usually, it develops following an experience that exposes the subject to physical harm or severe mental harm, or after a near-death experience that causes intense fear in him.

 

This can be a major problem that can completely hinder a person from living a normal life. Usually, a person responds to acute stress disorder by becoming detached from his surroundings, by ceasing to participate in his usual activities, and by trying to deal with the problem on his own.

 

If you suffer from prolonged stress after a particularly difficult experience, what you are going through is perfectly normal. It is best to seek counseling and professional psychotherapy, which are said to be the most effective treatment for this problem. However, it is normal as well if you feel hesitant to seek help. That's why there are now some self help techniques that are designed to help with acute stress disorder. Fortunately, they are also known to work really fast, so you can welcome the positive changes into your life as soon as possible.

 

1. Re-Train Your Mind. Your mind got the shock of a lifetime after the traumatic experience you went through. Now, your mindset is that the world is a dangerous and harmful place. The decision to recover from the traumatic stress lies in your hands, and once you make that decision, you have to retrain your mind.

 

Why the need to re-train the mind? You have to make it believe, once again, that the world is safe and comfortable. To achieve this, you have to sync both your conscious and subconscious minds. If not, even if you try to convince yourself that the world is good, some lingering thoughts in your subconscious may be left to convince you otherwise.

 

One way of synchronizing your conscious and subconscious minds is subliminal programming. This is the practice of listening to audio or watching videos that are designed to deliver subtly placed messages in a form instantly absorbed by the brain. These messages are the only form of communication that the brain can recognize, so you can use them for re-training your mind. You can use messages such as:

 

I am safe.

I am comfortable.

I am free from the past.

Healing comes naturally to me.

 

2. Self-Hypnosis. Aside from subliminal programming, another effective technique in treating acute stress disorder that you can do on your own is self hypnosis. You can hypnotize yourself to feel safer. Self hypnosis and subliminal programming are quite similar, in that they communicate with the brain at a less than conscious state. However, self hypnosis requires that you be in a trance for the mental stimulation to occur, while subliminal programming can easily be done even when you're wide awake and inertly conscious.

 

3. Meditation. One common problem sufferers of acute stress disorder go through is sleeplessness or the inability to relax. For this problem, you can use meditation. Meditation is one of the most effective methods of making yourself relax. It also relaxes not just the body but also the mind.

 

To meditate, you just have to focus your attention on one single thought or object so that you leave behind your usual thoughts. This frees you from the burden that they are and allows your whole being to completely relax in the face of a completely harmless thought.
