Psychological trauma can affect your life for many years after the event or situation that caused it. This is not an easy problem to solve, especially if you are trying to do it yourself. However, speech therapy has proven useful in helping people overcome the distress, pain and dysfunction that arise from the most threatening experiences. In fact, there is evidence that CBT and other forms of therapy can actually change how your brain works after trauma, thanks to something called neuroplasticity. How does this work? Neuroplasticity means that our brain is malleable. The paths in our minds can shape and change over time. This concept is particularly crucial for people who have suffered severe trauma, because it means that with the right tools, we can change our brain positively after trauma. There are many reasons why trauma hurts us. One thing you may not know is that trauma physically changes our brain. When you experience a traumatic event, your mind changes. The areas of your brain that once functioned in a particular way change depending on the hyperexcitation due to trauma. For example, the amygdala is over-activated after a traumatic experience. When you hear the phrase "fight, run away, or freeze," that's when you have a physical and emotional response to a trigger.
