As people we are faced with insurmountable challenges on a daily basis. From mountain climbers to abused rape victims. Building the proverbial bridge of feelings from an unsafe to safe and secure mental environment is of vital importance to eliminate the chances of a person not being able to live a fully functional and happy life. This is not easily achieved should an abused person whether he has lost a leg in a mountain climbing expedition or whether she has been a victim of domestic abuse.
Once we are able to discover those reasons, we are able to proceed with our lives in a more positive fulfilling way. There are many occurrences in life that can leave us feeling vulnerable, unsafe and panicky. Sometimes as people we struggle to understand these occurrences due to their degrees of severity.
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.
The self is really in essence all aspects that form part of who you are as a person. It characterizes your character and is of course made up of many different facets such as the way you feel, your strengths, weaknesses and also your limitations. When we feel unsafe as individuals it is usually because our character was infringed upon by another person, an animal or an event that we had no control over what so ever.
In reality this is a healthy response although if caught, the natural course of action is to fight. In most extreme cases of abuse, this right is taken away suddenly from the victim. This leaves varying feelings of anger and resentment not only towards the perpetrator but also towards ourselves.
People who feel this way are often seen to be withdrawn and anti social.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.
Crossing the proverbial bridge from unsafe to safe is and can be for some a life long challenge. Some never realise this challenge as they are unable to recuperate from extreme cases of shock. An important rule of thumb is that a victim be allowed to express his or her emotions once shock has abated.
