Listen to your body, follow your heart! When our hearts are wounded through trauma, neglect and deprivation, we lose touch with the heart's power. Depression, anxiety, fear of intimacy, addiction, stuckness may follow. Working through emotional issues at a body level allows for deep, lasting healing
Society is beginning to recognize the effects of trauma in a more honest and direct way and I'm here to help those who have a trauma history of any kind.
Working through trauma in therapy requires a specialized and sensitive approach that acknowledges the profound impact of traumatic experiences on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. Clinicians often utilize trauma-focused modalities, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) or Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to help clients process and reframe traumatic memories. Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is foundational, allowing individuals to explore their trauma narratives at their own pace. Therapists may employ grounding techniques, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises to assist clients in managing overwhelming emotions associated with trauma. Psychoeducation about the effects of trauma on the brain and coping strategies is another component of therapy. The goal of trauma work is to empower individuals to integrate and make sense of their experiences, fostering resilience, healing, and a renewed sense of control over their lives.
Trauma and PTSD can have a profound impact on every aspect of our lives, but please know that you are not alone in this journey. Together, we'll work to understand the effects of trauma on your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and develop coping strategies to help you manage symptoms and regain a sense of safety and control.
My work is informed by my training in various trauma-informed approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. I also offer adjunctive EMDR for clients who already have a long term psychotherapist.
