Relief From Stress
Understanding Trauma’s Role and Our Treatment Approach
At Khiron Clinics, we understand that stress is more than just a reaction to life’s pressures. It’s often the result of unresolved trauma that has left a lasting impact on the body and mind. As a leading mental health clinic, we specialize in helping individuals not just manage stress but heal its root causes. By addressing the unresolved trauma beneath the surface, we help you achieve lasting recovery and emotional well-being.
At Khiron clinics, we see mental health issues as manifestations of unresolved trauma that leads to a dysregulated nervous system.
What Is Stress?
Stress is a natural response to challenging or overwhelming situations, but when it becomes chronic, it can severely impact your health and well-being. Persistent stress can affect your ability to cope with everyday life and may lead to feelings of anxiety, burnout, and even depression.
Signs of Stress:
Stress manifests in various ways, and the symptoms may differ from person to person. Common signs of stress include:
- Irritability or frustration
- Feeling overwhelmed or anxious
- Trouble sleeping or insomnia
- Fatigue or low energy
- Physical tension or pain (headaches, muscle aches)
- Difficulty concentrating
- Digestive issues
- Heightened heart rate or chest tightness
Stress can also have long-term effects on the body and mind, making it harder to bounce back from everyday challenges.
What Causes Stress?
At Khiron Clinics, we recognize that stress is often the result of unresolved trauma—traumatic experiences that have not been processed or healed. While the external sources of stress (such as work, family, or personal life) can be significant, the deeper cause often lies within our nervous system and emotional regulation. This is why simply managing stress is not enough for lasting relief; we treat the root cause.
“Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.”
Trauma
Dysregulated Nervous System
When the body experiences trauma, it enters a heightened state of alert, preparing for danger even when there is none. This leads to an overstimulated nervous system, which becomes stuck in a constant fight-or-flight mode. The parasympathetic nervous system, which should help the body rest and digest, is overridden by the sympathetic nervous system, keeping you in a state of stress. This unprocessed trauma can keep your body in a heightened state of stress, making it difficult to return to a calm, balanced state.
How We Treat Stress at Khiron Clinics
At Khiron Clinics, we go beyond treating symptoms of stress. We specialise in addressing the underlying trauma that often fuels stress responses. As a mental health clinic dedicated to healing, we offer a comprehensive treatment approach that focuses on the root causes of your stress, rather than just managing the symptoms.
Innovative Trauma-Based Treatment
Our approach combines top-down cognitive therapies with bottom-up somatic therapies to address trauma on both a psychological and physical level. We believe that true healing comes from working with the nervous system to process and resolve the stored trauma. Through our therapies, we help you restore balance, rewire unhealthy stress responses, and build resilience.
Our Treatment Modalities Include:
- Somatic Experiencing (SE): Focuses on bodily awareness and resolving stress stored in the body.
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP): Combines physical and psychological therapies to treat trauma.
- Polyvagal Informed Therapy: Uses the principles of polyvagal theory to help you feel safe in your body again.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS): Helps you understand and heal the internal parts of yourself affected by trauma.
- Trauma-Informed Stabilization Technique (TIST): Provides a structured approach to stabilize and heal from traumatic experiences.
- Neurofeedback and Brainspotting: Cutting-edge techniques to regulate the brain and reduce stress responses.
We work with you to understand your symptoms and help find the issues at the root of your experience, which are usually linked to unresolved trauma. Through finding the source of the issue, we are better equipped to help you on your path to recovery.
