Trauma and PTSD
Natalie Stemati
Psychologist, Psy.D.
A lot of people experience trauma within their family of origin. I work with developmental (childhood) and attachment (ways of learning how to emotionally bond) trauma which includes growing up in alcoholism, abuse, conflict, parent death and/or any traumatic experience endured during childhood. As a result, a lot of people develop a type of insecure attachment that impacts their current relationships (i.e. dependency, fear, conflict, anxiety).

Trauma and PTSD
Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Here at Denver Wellness Counseling we specialize in EMDR and trauma/PTSD counseling. Our therapists have achieved advanced training in what we call Elevated EMDR, meaning the ability to effectively combine modalities and adapt the EMDR basic protocol to best meet the needs of the client.
Therapy for Trauma and PTSD have some primary components, including (but not limited to), gathering history, identifying parts of self related to the trauma (wounded younger parts and protector parts), building and practicing skills for self-regulation and self-soothing, resourcing by strengthening internal qualities and sources of positive affect, reprocessing traumatic memories (EMDR), and integrating adaptive themes and positive messages about self and the world.
Traumatic memories are stored differently in the brain, remaining in their "raw" form, in isolation from our adaptive (helpful) information, and able to impact our day-to-day experiences. With PTSD, our traumatic memories can frequently cause us to flash back into trauma-related thoughts, feelings, sensation, and action urges (fight, flight, freeze, submit, cry for help). EMDR uses eye movements or other bilateral sensations (similar to those found in REM sleep) to activate and encourage the brains natural ability to "reprocess" memories, which can both desensitize the memory (take the intensity out) and allow integration with the more adaptive neural circuitry. This process of emotional reprocessing can thus take the power away from these memories so they stop replaying and impacting our current functioning.

Trauma and PTSD
Athena McCullough
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LPC, LMFT
Is a past event in your life keeping you from moving forward?
Trauma can cause symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance behaviors, hypervigilance, and feelings of anxiety, guilt, or shame. Emotional and physical responses to trauma can impact daily life and relationships. Therapy can help individuals who have experienced trauma process their experiences and develop healthy coping mechanisms. With therapy, you may experience a greater sense of control, improved relationships, a stronger sense of self-worth, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
You haven't necessarily experienced any overt signs of trauma that you often see talked about on social media. But something still feels off because you experienced emotional disconnect and frequent ruptures in your childhood relationships because your parents we really hard on you or withheld love and affection if you didn't perform up to their standards. Nowadays, you're often left feeling like you have to be perfect so you aren't rejected or abandoned by people in your life. If someone doesn't text you back quick enough or your friend is less available now that they've started dating someone new you interpret that as you not being not good enough. If this is you, know that there isn't anything wrong with you. These are perfectly valid feelings to have as a human who longs for connection and belonging. This can be worked through with the help of someone who knows what it's like to be in your shoes and who has the knowledge and experience as well. If you want to learn how to be more compassionate with yourself, soothe your fear of rejection, and learn how to express your needs without fearing your relationships will come crashing down if you share how you feel, then reach out to me and we can talk through how to help you get there.
