Do the same patterns keep repeating in your life?
Unresolved emotional trauma can keep us trapped in negative patterns in life.
Often, we carry trauma from childhood or specific events into adulthood without realizing it, affecting our daily lives.
Trauma isn't just about physical or sexual abuse—it can come from various experiences like grief, parental separation or workplace bullying. These unresolved traumas can lead to behaviors like alcoholism, overeating, or gambling, as ways to cope with the pain.
If you feel anxious, depressed, or lonely, you're not alone—these are common feelings linked to unresolved emotions. The Self Discovery Hub encourages healing methods that feel right for you.
What Unresolved Trauma looks like?
🚫 Substance Abuse: Using drugs or alcohol to cope with emotional pain or numb difficult feelings.
🚫 Procrastination: Putting off important tasks or responsibilities, which can lead to increased stress and negative consequences.
🚫 Impulsive Behavior: Making hasty decisions without considering the consequences.
🚫 Overworking or Overeating: Using work or food as a way to distract from emotions or fill an emotional void.
🚫 Sabotaging Success: Fear of failure or success can lead to behaviors that prevent you from achieving your goals.
🚫 Isolation: Avoiding social interactions or opportunities for connection out of fear of being hurt or rejected.
How Do I Know If I Have Hidden or Unresolved Trauma?
Identifying hidden or unresolved trauma can be challenging, but signs often include unexplained anxiety, avoidance of triggers, emotional instability, difficulty trusting others, low self-esteem, relationship issues, physical symptoms, flashbacks or nightmares, addictive behaviors and a sense of disconnection.
Root cause therapy aims to address the underlying issues or causes of psychological distress or behavioral patterns rather than just treating the symptoms. It can assist with a wide range of concerns, including:
Trauma: Root cause therapy helps individuals identify and process past traumas, allowing them to heal from their effects and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Anxiety and Depression: By exploring the root causes of anxiety and depression, therapy can help individuals understand their triggers and develop strategies to manage their symptoms effectively.
Relationship Issues: Therapy can uncover underlying patterns or unresolved conflicts that contribute to relationship difficulties, enabling individuals to improve communication, set boundaries, and foster healthier connections.
Addiction: Addressing the root causes of addiction, such as trauma or underlying mental health issues, can empower individuals to overcome substance abuse and develop healthier ways of coping.
Low Self-Esteem: Root cause therapy helps individuals explore the origins of their low self-esteem and challenge negative beliefs about themselves, fostering self-compassion and confidence.
Chronic Stress: Therapy can identify underlying sources of chronic stress and help individuals develop coping strategies and lifestyle changes to manage stress more effectively.
Unresolved Grief: By addressing the root causes of grief and loss, therapy can support individuals in processing their emotions, finding meaning, and adjusting to life changes.

It will however, be the most significant & rewarding journey you ever travel.”

What is RCT?
Root Cause Therapy is a holistic approach to wellness that acknowledges the connection between our physical and emotional well-being.
This complementary therapy focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of health problems, rather than simply treating the symptoms.
By working on all levels of consciousness, including mental, physical, emotional & spiritual, Root Cause Therapy aims to release blockages and restore balance in the body.
At the core of Root Cause Therapy is a powerful mind-body intervention that helps to track down the root cause of any physical or energetic blockage. By addressing these underlying issues, Root Cause Therapy can promote healing and improve a wide range of health problems, from chronic pain and digestive disorders to emotional trauma and self-sabotaging behaviors.
Through this approach, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of the connection between their physical and emotional well-being, and work towards creating a more harmonious and balanced life. Root Cause Therapy is a valuable tool for anyone seeking to improve their overall health and well-being, and can be used in conjunction with other forms of medical or professional advice.
How Does Root Cause Therapy Work?
Combining elements of talk therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, Root Cause Therapy takes a comprehensive approach to addressing a wide range of conditions. The steps vary depending on the practitioner, but they generally consist of three steps, which are as follows:
Identifying the root cause: This step involves working with a practitioner to identify any potential root causes of your health problems.
Addressing the root cause: Once the root cause has been identified, the appropriate steps will be taken to address it. This stage may involve guided imagery, breathwork and regression techniques.
Continued support: Once you have started on your Root Cause Therapy journey, it is important to receive continued support from your therapist. This can help you stay on track and ensure that you are making progress towards your goals.
What Can You Expect From RCT?
Before embarking on Root Cause Therapy, it's important to have a clear understanding of what to expect. Here are a few key points to consider:
⦿ Session Duration: Root Cause Therapy sessions typically last for an tended period. The initial session can range from 2.5 to 3 hours, allowing ample time for a comprehensive assessment of your health history, lifestyle habits, and relevant information. Subsequent sessions usually last between one and a half to two hours. This extended time allows for a thorough exploration of your condition and facilitates deeper healing.
⦿ Open Communication: Honesty and openness are essential during Root Cause Therapy sessions. Be prepared to share detailed information about your health, lifestyle choices, and any relevant factors that may contribute to your condition. This transparency allows the practitioner to gain a comprehensive understanding of your situation and tailor the therapy to your specific needs.
⦿ Patience and Persistence: Root Cause Therapy is not a quick fix. Unlike taking a pill that provides temporary relief, this therapy focuses on addressing the underlying causes of your health condition. It takes time for the body to recover and restore normal function. As your symptoms likely developed gradually, reversing the process and achieving lasting results requires patience, persistence, and a commitment to the healing journey.
⦿ Frequency of Sessions: The frequency of your treatment sessions will depend on the condition being addressed. A program lasting either four or eight weeks is often recommended for optimal and intensive results. These sessions may be complemented by other modalities that further support your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual healing, enhancing the overall efficacy of the therapy.
Root Cause Therapy offers a holistic approach to healing that goes beyond symptom management. By addressing the underlying root causes of your health condition, this therapy aims to bring about lasting improvements and restore your overall well-being. Remember, embracing the process and committing to a comprehensive healing journey can lead to transformative results.
