Stress and trauma
Insights into stress and trauma
Acute stress disorder (ASD) develops as an immediate response to traumatic events such as war, natural disasters, abuse, chronic illness, or sudden bereavement. Symptoms of stress and ASD appear quickly, but generally lessen and resolve within a few weeks – however, without treatment, these symptoms can evolve into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), increasing psychological distress and anxiety. PTSD can profoundly impact daily life, preventing participation in activities once enjoyed. Trauma affects everyone differently; for some, it manifests as ASD or PTSD, while others may not experience significant symptoms or challenges. Regardless of your situation, it is possible to work through trauma and overcome stress with the right treatment and support.

How we work
When stress levels become dangerous
When stress levels escalate beyond what is manageable, the consequences can be profound and far-reaching, impacting every facet of your life. Chronic stress is not merely an inconvenience; it can become a catalyst for a host of serious health conditions. Among the most concerning are eating disorders, where stress manifests as unhealthy relationships with food, leading to disorders like anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder. These conditions not only affect physical health but also perpetuate a cycle of emotional and psychological distress.
Additionally, high stress levels can drive individuals towards addiction. Drugs, alcohol, exercise, and even sex can become coping mechanisms, offering temporary relief but ultimately leading to dependency and further complications. Addiction exacerbates stress, creating a vicious cycle that can be difficult to break.
Mood disorders such as anxiety and depression are also common outcomes of unrelenting stress. Anxiety disorders can leave individuals in a constant state of worry and fear, while depression can sap the joy from life, leading to feelings of hopelessness and despair. These mood disorders often coexist with trauma-related conditions, such as PTSD, where past traumatic experiences continually intrude into the present, preventing healing and normal functioning. Personality disorders can also be linked to chronic stress, as prolonged emotional turmoil can alter an individual’s behaviour and interactions with others. These disorders often complicate relationships and social interactions, isolating individuals further and increasing their stress levels.

Treating stress and trauma from a whole-person perspective
We believe in treating stress and trauma from a whole-person perspective, understanding that true recovery requires addressing both the mind and body. Our integrative team comprises dedicated psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, and nutritionists, all working together to support you on your journey to recovery. Treatment often begins with a thorough assessment to identify the root causes of your stress and trauma – this might include traumatic experiences, acute stress disorder, or long-standing patterns of anxiety and depression. By understanding your unique history and triggers, our specialists can create a curated treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
In therapy, cognitive-behavioural techniques might be used to help you reframe negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. For example, if past trauma is causing ongoing distress, our therapists can guide you through exposure therapy or EMDR, helping you process and move beyond painful memories. Our whole-person treatment also includes wellness therapies such as yoga, mindfulness, and meditation, which help calm the nervous system and promote physical relaxation. Equally, nutritional counselling ensures that your body is receiving the nourishment it needs to support mental health, recognising the critical link between diet and emotional wellbeing.
Medications may be prescribed when necessary, to stabilise mood and alleviate severe anxiety or depression – but always as part of a broader strategy that includes non- pharmacological treatments. The outcome of this whole-person approach is not just symptom relief, but a profound transformation in how you handle stress and trauma, equipping you with the resilience to face life’s challenges with confidence and strength.

FAQs:
Our stress and trauma treatment centre
What is the difference between stress and trauma, and how are they linked?
Stress is a natural response to challenges or demands and can be positive or negative, helping us stay alert and motivated. However, excessive or chronic stress can lead to negative health outcomes. Trauma, on the other hand, results from an event or series of events that cause intense fear, helplessness, or horror. While stress can be a normal part of life, trauma is an overwhelming experience that can have long-lasting effects on an individual’s mental and physical health. Chronic stress can exacerbate the effects of trauma, and unresolved trauma can make individuals more susceptible to stress.
Can some level of stress be healthy in life?
Yes, some level of stress can be healthy and is often referred to as “eustress.” This type of stress can motivate individuals to accomplish tasks, meet
deadlines, and achieve goals. Eustress can enhance performance and focus, providing the energy needed to navigate everyday challenges. However, when stress becomes chronic or overwhelming, it shifts from being beneficial to harmful, potentially leading to physical and mental health issues.
What types of stress and trauma are addressed at treatment centres specialising in these areas?
Specialised treatment centres like Harbor London address a wide range of stress and trauma, including acute stress disorder (ASD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic stress, anxiety disorders, and trauma-related conditions from events such as abuse, natural disasters, chronic illness, or sudden bereavement. These centres are equipped to handle both immediate responses to trauma and long-term effects that disrupt daily life and wellbeing.

What therapeutic modalities are commonly used in stress and trauma treatment?
Common therapeutic modalities used in stress and trauma treatment include cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and exposure therapy. These therapies are designed to help individuals process traumatic experiences, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and reframe negative thought patterns. Additionally, alternative wellness therapies such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and art therapy may be incorporated to support whole-person healing and wellbeing.
How do you address the physiological and psychological effects of traumatic experiences?
Our team addresses the physiological and psychological effects of traumatic experiences through a comprehensive, whole-person approach. This

body, ensuring that all aspects of trauma are addressed.

relaxation exercises, and personalised coping strategies. We also offer connections to community resources and support networks to help individuals
