4. Sensory deprivation therapy.
Sensory deprivation therapy can also be a highly effective way for adults who have suffered from adverse childhood experiences overcome their trauma. Sensory deprivation therapy involves floating in shallow water that is saturated with Epsom salt, which makes the individual float on top of the water. The spaces are completely dark and all sound is blocked out. The individual remains in this setting for a period of an hour or more.
When environmental influences are removed, more of the brain becomes activated, which allows the person to concentrate more on what he or she has experienced; experiences that are lying deep within their subconscious.
This can help them better understand why they react the way they do to certain situations and better understand how they can effectively handle their responses to certain situations. Sensory deprivation therapy has been proven to reduce anxiety and depression and enhance mood.
