How To Get From Unsafe To Safe



As a song writer once wrote, we are only what we feel. It is a track from an album of Crosby, Still, Nash and Young. This is also true to life changing events that can distort the way people feel. Moving from an unsafe to safe state of being requires much attention. Incidences such as rape, murder and physical abuse can distort the way we feel about ourselves and the world around us.

Rape is a cause of personal vandalism. It leaves us questioning the reasons as to why such an event could have taken place. It jumbles up the way we use to feel prior to a particular incident.

Many grapple with the feelings that events such as these leaving them feeling insecure, scared and depressed for years after. These are extreme cases of abuse and in worse cases this can even lead to abnormalities such as agrophobia which is an intense fear and anxiety of being in a place a person may feel hard to escape from.

In cases of rape, a person feels that he or she has been vandalized both emotionally and physically. Here again feelings such as anxiety, fear of men or women alike, can hinder a person from progressing and living a normal functioning life. It is an infringement on another person that leaves the person feeling victimized.

After any traumatic event whether it be the loss of a loved one in a fatal car accident, one naturally feels an intense amount of shock and disbelief. Sometimes to such a point that the natural chemicals in the brain are put under an enormous amount of stress and distort the way a person may feel. Sometimes there are cases of extreme incidences of this, where therapy is required and sometimes medication too in order to alleviate these feelings of separation anxieties.

It is a natural course of events that can sometimes take years to heal. When incidences such as these occur suddenly and unexpectedly, the chemical change is drastic often too extreme for the body to cope with. Feelings of lonesomeness is very common although more extreme cases such as feeling that you are totally alone with the feelings you have, is unnatural.

People who feel this way are often seen to be withdrawn and anti social. This can exacerbate the lonesome feelings that they feel. When this happens more extreme cases of anti social behavior can pursue such as schizophrenia, schizo effective disorders, bi polar disorders and in a lower extreme, depression. The medical fraternity of psychiatry have not found a clear solution in terms of medication.

Medication does relieve symptoms but communicative therapy is often the best course of action. Talking and keeping a person talking after shock is vital in achieving a constant flow of communication. This is vitally important when a person experiences extreme cases of shock and the sooner he or she has someone to express these feelings with, the sooner healing can pursue and a bridge built from feeling unsafe to safe can be achieved.
