Medical trauma.....really?

Yes really, yet still largely unrecognised, or in other words not labelled! But not all of us want or need labels. Medical trauma is just that, something related to a medical incident that's caused us distress, resulting in complications in our day to day lives. So, it could be anything from an interaction with a medical professional, a hospital procedure that didn't go according to plan, a diagnosis that has resulted in a lack of support.....basically anything medically related that causes us to behave differently - and not in a good way - can be classed as medical trauma. The sad thing is it does exist, but it's not (yet) widely recognised in the UK. The good thing is we can do something to help. I feel privileged to be helpiing those who have recently approached me at my private practice, as well as my patients within the NHS, who also present with other trauma related issues. Thank you for having the courage to share yourselves with me. Together we can make a positive difference and help you to regain control in your life.
