Trauma and PTSD
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.

Trauma and PTSD
Sheryl Boyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC, CART, EMDR Certified Therapist, BSP Certified Therapist, BSP Consultant-in-Training, ICBCH Certified Professional Hypnotist, PPNE
Trauma and PTSD are held in our bodies. Memories, feelings, smells, sounds, sites, situations, and events can act as stimuli being triggered into intense emotional or physical reactions, such as panic attacks. Therapeutic interventions help our brains to learn new ways to reorganize synaptic connections resulting in lessening or release of symptoms and triggers from the trauma(s). EMDR and other evidence-based modalities integrative therapies are used. After successful EMDR therapy, emotional distress is relieved, negative beliefs and limitations are reformulated into positive beliefs and strengths, and physiological arousal is reduced. EMDR therapy is offered online with eye movement, audio or physical bilateral stimulation based upon the client's preference.

Trauma and PTSD
Rebecca Phillips, MS, LPC, CCTP, EMDR
Licensed Professional Counselor, Master of Science, LPC, EMDR Therapist, CCTP: Complex Trauma
It's estimated that 70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced trauma. When we suppress trauma, it stays locked within us and takes a toll on our nervous system, brains, and bodies. Trauma changes who we are, and not always for the better. We can become nervous, irritable, angry, distrustful, and negative. I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma (CPTSD) with EMDR - the gold standard treatment for trauma and PTSD. Contact me to find out more about trauma therapy in Frisco Texas and virtually throughout the states of Texas, Colorado, and Florida.

Jennifer Pinkerton
Therapist, M.S., LMFT, CTP, C-PD
Emotional trauma can prevent you from functioning in life. It can be crippling to be affected by traumatic experiences that you haven't processed. Addressing shame, family of origin, abuse and other concerns in therapy can allow you to have the transformative experience of resiliency and healing.
