Infant Surgery Without Anesthesia

If one is over 26 years old and had major surgery as an infant, that surgery was probably done without pain control. Over a million living survivors in this country are living lives of quiet desperation without a hint of the brutal trauma that caused this. We know now that babies feel pain and hold nonverbal memory of the trauma forever until it is treated. Other preverbal trauma is retained in nonverbal memory also, such as painful medical procedures, PICU confinement, experiencing or witnessing violence.

It is relatively easy to treat if the therapist knows how.So far, few do. We are training therapists as fast as we can, by a variety of means, including Intensive training courses, books, presentations, and even an app in preparation. Contact Ā www.traumatherapy.us

The symptom picture of the survivors is broader than the usual picture for posttraumatic stress disorder. Adult survivors report life-long symptoms of anxiety (constant nervousness and spells of terror or panic), hostility (temper outbursts and urges to smash or break things), depression, self-consciousness, distrust of others, and a high vulnerability to stress. The life-long aspect of these symptoms leads to the faulty clinical perception that they are personality disorders instead of recognizing them as persisting reactions first elicited by the brutal surgery. That recognition opens the way to curative treatment of the adult survivor.
