Trauma
Is the past preventing you from moving forward?
You’ve experienced a traumatic event or adverse life experience and it’s affecting you emotionally or physically. Your trauma may be acute (a single stressful event), chronic (prolonged exposure to violence and stress), or complex (exposure to multiple dangerous and stressful events).
The effects of trauma are overwhelming and you know the impact well. It may be showing up in your life:
- Emotional outbursts and difficulty coping with emotions
- Withdrawing from others and social situations
- Nightmares or flashbacks
- Hyperarousal (constant state of alertness)
- Chronic illness
Therapy for trauma can help you…
- Reduce or eliminate symptoms and triggers
- Learn coping skills to manage emotions
- Reconnect with others and improve relationships
- Calm your nervous system
- Establish your peace of mind
Recovery is possible.
I’ll help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. Together we will create the safe and stable space for you to confront and recover from the trauma.
My approach to trauma and PTSD comes from evidence-based treatment models, primarily Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.
We’ll explore your symptoms and how they are impacting your life. Together we will develop goals for your sessions and I’ll give you the tools you need to start feeling better.
Frequently asked questions about trauma therapy
I use EMDR, which is a structured type of therapy that helps you process painful memories using bilateral stimulation. This allows for your brain to heal from the trauma and decrease the emotional and physical symptoms.
Symptoms of trauma include: general anxiety, irritability and anger, self-blame, confusion, difficulty sleeping, dissociation, physical pain, headaches, and many more.
