Corvallis, Oregon therapist: Chris Chappell, licensed mental health counselor
Trauma and PTSD

Chris Chappell

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MS, LMHC
Are having disturbing flashbacks, recurring difficult memories, feeling triggered but not sure why? Have you been avoiding certain situations because they make you very uncomfortable? Would you like to not be driven by fears connected to the past? Trauma (that is, perceived life-threatening incidents) can reside in the body and the nervous system without our even being aware of it. In nature, animals experience life-threatening incidents and they shake it off, literally, by trembling, crying, or shaking. People, however, in our culture at least, are taught at a very early age that it's not OK to shake or cry - we are told to 'hold it together' or 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' or 'don't cry'. People will often grab you and forcibly stop you from shaking, but shaking is what our animal bodies need after a life-threatening occurrence (which can include witnessing someone else's life threatened). So, because the natural relief valves are turned off, the trauma sticks in the body and may not go away for a long time. Trauma is also historical and inter-generational, passed down through families and cultures. If you come to me with trauma as an issue, we will talk about the sources if you want to, but more importantly, we will work with the nervous system and the body gently, through somatic therapy. First, helping you to feel strongly resourced in your body, and then, slowly tapping into the feelings and memories that are disturbing, and using mindful awareness to very gently allow release of the trauma. Doing this work outdoors can amplify the benefits because our nervous systems are naturally tuned by evolution not to the modern rhythms of offices, buildings, clocks, cars, and computers, but to the more gentle, slow rhythms of nature, of flowing water, of rustling leaves, of singing birds, of the wind and clouds. I can help you heal your trauma and be less afraid and anxious.

Trauma and PTSD

Gui Mansilla

Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
Embark on an extraordinary journey of courageous healing, transforming the echoes of traumatic experiences into the seeds of profound growth and empowerment. Trauma, with its overwhelming and paralyzing presence, holds within it an unexpected doorway to personal development when met with wisdom and the proper support. Unfortunately, many find themselves grappling with the disorienting and immobilizing effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms. With the honour of guiding thousands through the intricate process of understanding and methodically healing trauma, I cultivate a therapeutic environment that is more than just safe—it's infused with positivity, warmth, and, when appropriate, a touch of fun. While the path to healing trauma may seem daunting, the journey carries immense benefits for those who bravely confront it with wisdom and robust support systems. Personally, navigating a significant amount of childhood trauma has equipped me with a profound understanding, coupled with over two decades of professional experience, totalling more than 17 thousand hours of sitting with clients in my psychotherapy practice. Today, I draw from this rich tapestry of personal and professional wisdom to extend hope and support to those on their unique path toward a future marked by more significant health and happiness. Within you lies transformative potential, akin to emerging "superpowers," waiting to be harnessed as you navigate the intricate healing process. If you're ready to face this challenge with courage and embrace the support you deserve, I wholeheartedly invite you to a consultation. Together, let's chart a course toward a future defined by resilience, growth, and the profound realization of your full potential.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Victoria Miller, licensed clinical social worker
Trauma and PTSD

Victoria Miller

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
CPT helps people recognize how trauma has changed their view about themselves, others, and the world. CPT teaches people to recognize the negative thoughts that are created by the trauma. These thoughts are called "stuck points" in CPT because they keep people stuck and get in the way of recovery from PTSD (from the National Center for PTSD (.gov))
