Treatment Intervention

Body Oriented Therapy ;Body-oriented therapy is an effective therapeutic technique for trauma not mentioned in Van der Kolk but is supported by research in the neurology of trauma. A growing subfield of somatic psychology, body-oriented therapy for trauma treatment centres on the triune nature of the human experience (Price et al., 2019). It considers how one's physical alignment, motion, and tension might reveal unconscious tendencies that conventional talk therapy may miss. Prior trauma and psychological issues may negatively impact the autonomic nervous system. Myofascial Release is a body-oriented treatment that may help you release physical and mental tension (Price et al., 2019). The fascial system, which is innervated by nerves, may store "tissue memories," it is common for this residue to stay stuck in the neurological system and cause fascial limits during the freeze reaction when the reptile brain gets overwhelmed. This triggers the brain's somatosensory and cognitive-affective regions responsible for processing pain. The extracellular matrix, which includes collagen and connective tissue, may serve as a memory storage medium (Price, Thompson, Crowell, Pike, et al., 2019). By applying continuous pressure to the fascial system, the sensory input to the spinal cord is reduced, the nociceptors are quieted, and the autonomic responses, notably the sympathetic drive, are soothed. When the fascia is stimulated through external physical input, known as a myofascial release or tissue stimulation, the link between the nervous system's neurons and the tissue is re-established, allowing the release of any data in the form of emotional and physical trauma stored within. Body-oriented therapy aims to raise levels of bodily awareness to address and enable emotional and physical discharge (Price, Thompson, Crowell, Pike, et al., 2019). A massage's ability to physiologically relax tight muscle tissue and raise awareness of the feelings connected with the "knot" may be very powerful (Price, Thompson, Crowell, Pike, et al., 2019). Clients' dissociations are reduced; they have more access to their emotions, feel better physically, and feel more connected to their bodies when they get to talk and touch therapy.
