Trauma and PTSD
Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The links between trauma and achievement spotlight the success stories of people who've endured difficult pasts. Through resilience and resourcefulness, some persevered and found success as an outlet for improving self-esteem. How else could you have filled the void of highly critical, emotionally unavailable parents? The trouble is that success may be tough to integrate and truly celebrate as your own, no matter how impressive your resume gets. Fortunately, recovery from trauma is very possible and with time, can foster post-traumatic growth which leads to a more fulfilling life and meaningful relationships. My clinical approach includes Internal Family Systems which explores how different parts of you protect and serve you. Trauma-Focused CBT also helps unravel core-beliefs that may complicate your relationship with yourself, your ability to trust others, or see the world as a safe place.

Trauma and PTSD
Inner Expansions Therapy Services
Counselor/Therapist
When a person experiences a single event trauma like a car accident their entire world changes almost instantly. When a person has repeated traumas over time, like a difficult childhood their outlook on the world shifts. Many trauma survivors have a hard time feeling safe and secure. Survivors may begin to feel anxious and depressed, they may have trouble sleeping or nightmares, and may experience other behavioral changes that are frightening to them and their loved ones.
When you have experienced trauma and begin to see some of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it’s time to explore treatment so you can begin healing. The idea of therapy can sometimes feel scary and overwhelming to people with PTSD. But trauma therapy is really something that can be very empowering. With the help of a caring and qualified mental health professional the person can begin to process past events in a safe way.
Trauma therapy such as EMDR and IFS has the potential to actually change the way your brain works through what is called neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity means our brains and neural pathways (how we think and feel) can change. Through specific therapy tools and strategies we can retrain our brains to let go of the fear and begin to heal.

Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
We live in a world where traumatic experiences are all too common. Frightening and even life-threatening events happen around us and may even invade a person's life; we call these experiences "shock trauma." Many people have also experienced "developmental trauma," when every day of growing up they faced intensely difficult circumstances. Trauma and PTSD take a terrible toll on a person's mental and emotional health and wellbeing. Generally speaking, it doesn't just go away on it's own; it requires treatment. I am here to help, and would be happy to answer any questions you have.
