There are moments in life when things happen to us that we don't know how to handle. It could be an accident, the loss of a loved one, a natural disaster, a mugging, being the victim of sexual abuse, or having an extremely humiliating experience. These events usually generate very intense emotions and can cause psychological or emotional trauma.
Since trauma is related to emotions, reason and language are often not very effective. That is why it is necessary to resort to techniques that work directly on the unconscious and the emotional part of the brain, where traumatic shock occurs.
