Trauma is a strong word, used by doctors to describe a catastrophic occurrence that has had an adverse effect on either the physiological or mental makeup of the human body. The more popular definitions for trauma are more psychological in nature, usually stemming from very bad experiences. This is due to the high levels of distress that has been caused by the event itself, a level of distress so high that it pervades all physical barriers and transcends the mind to inflict a scar that takes a very long time (or even never) to heal. The events that cause such psychological trauma are varied and can range from serious injury that often associates itself with a large amount of pain, an assault, robbery or even rape, a great loss in one’s life (emotional), witnessing a death or an accident that is both bloody and vivid, breakdown in the foundations of life or prolonged sexual abuse.

The problem with this psychological trauma is that most of the time, it goes undetected until the wound ‘festers’ to a point where it manifests itself in physical degradation or even manic behaviour or even psychosis. Some of the milder physical symptoms can include pain in the stomach, migraines, palpitations, loss of hair, thinning of the body and even death (rare). Today we are concentrating on the mental damage that such trauma can inflict on the person and how methods that are subliminal in nature can actually help those who are suffering from these problems. For example, someone who has been exposed to a distressing episode can suffer from lapses in his or her cognitive functions like speech, memory or even the ability to maintain a mental focus.

They can also have emotional side effects like sadness, anger, psychosis and depression which have been known to lead to paralysis, malnutrition and even death. Also, there have been cases where trauma has turned the behavioural patterns of the individual on its drastic side - negative behaviour and in some extreme cases, schizophrenia might set in. So how do we overcome this trauma, especially when post traumatic stress therapy has been enforced and some of the symptoms still remain? Many psychologists believe that subliminal techniques are one way to go to cure a person who is suffering from trauma and this trauma is affecting their mental and emotional faculties. The wound is located in the pre conscious mind, a part of the cortex that cannot be seen nor detected, but possibly read by electromagnetic frequency.

What subliminal techniques can do is to bypass the defences of the conscious mind and other cognitive functions, and repair the damage where it is done. It is like using the help of a surgeon to remove a tumour in the brain, instead of using chemotherapy. Subliminal techniques are much more direct and specific in their treatments and the use of visual/auditory stimulants with embedded messages go a long way in treating the wound left in the pre conscious mind by a distressing episode.
