Trauma & Healing

All right, let's see what we've got from the old mail bag today. Dear Dr. Lloyd, how do people deal with trauma and healing, and how does that work? Well, this is a tough one because we have to go through sometimes difficult, very painful things in life, and that's just the truth. But coming to terms or accepting those things can be quite difficult, and sometimes when we don't, we get stuck. And that's what happens when we deal with trauma. We get stuck in the past, and sometimes we end up fighting old demons or old situations long after that threat is gone. So through therapy, what we're trying to do is get us back into the present and help us make peace with the past so that we can move forward in a positive way. That's what dealing with trauma and healing truly is. It's making room for life's unpleasantness, difficulties, and downright tragic moments. Thanks for the question.
