Trauma and PTSD
Karen E Hellenberg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
PTSD can be acute or chronic and stems from an event or events that have caused our mind and body to shut down and not find a way out by entrapment of the subconscious. Let’s identify your traumas and begin exploring on a subconscious level via EMDR to desensitize and process these traumas so you can get on with life.

Trauma and PTSD
Soaring Heart Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Bessel van der Kolk defines trauma as: any experience that overwhelms your ability to cope. Certainly life-threatening situations, like a car accident or serving in combat, count. So does consistently feeling unsafe at home because one of your parents would get violent sometimes, or worrying about where your next meal might come from. When you're faced with situations that overwhelm you, your psyche will do whatever it can to keep you alive, typically splitting itself apart in order to protect your sanity. Trouble is, after that initial overwhelm is over, you need to go back and repair that split. Otherwise, that scary, painful, overwhelming situation becomes something that haunts you. Recovery from trauma means going back and repairing those splits, and it's never too late to do it. So if you feel haunted by experiences from your past, find it hard to build meaningful relationships with others, or struggle with feeling afraid, schedule a consultation now.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Trauma did not wait for consent; Therapy must. While many different therapeutic modalities exist for the treatment of trauma and PTSD, what remains essential is the thoughtful and careful negotiation of pacing between therapist and client such that the therapeutic process feels as manageable and tolerable as possible. Given that trauma so often results from harmful relational dynamics that force agendas or remove personal agency, trauma therapy must offer a healing space that does not seek to rush, pressure, or impinge. Rather, and in my professional opinion, it's imperative that trauma therapy respect the client's experience of what feels manageable at any given moment in therapeutic time and space, working to avoid unnecessary setback and potential retraumatization. I feel this is best achieved through the development of a reliable therapeutic rapport and relationship that functions to carefully and mindfully co-monitor and co-negotiate the everchanging and expanding dynamics between therapist and client. Put another way, your therapy should not be forced into someone else's timeframe or methodology; it should be allowed to develop in step with your specific history, unique needs, and comfort level. Please refer to my Trauma Blog on my website (pouliotpsychologicalservices.com) for more information on my approach to the treatment of trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.
