All forms of physical and emotional abuse cause a stress response in the body which is retained as a cellular memory, programming the body and mind to act and live in a certain way. Abuse trauma limits your ability to develop healthy connections with other people and causes low self-esteem and an inability to sensitively care for yourself.
People who have been abused will have many symptoms from these situations especially sexual abuse. Sexual abuse will usually present with lower back pain and possible hip problems because this is the area traumatised the most. Once all the fear and anxiety is resolved, and clients feel more comfortable in their bodies, it allows them to see all their natural strengths and qualities that they were not able to realize before because it was covered by just trying to get through each day. We use different algorithms to resolve each emotion so they cannot see or feel it anymore. The results are life changing for these people. With TFT, they don’t need to talk about every detail or relive the story.
