Traumatic events can impact every area of your life. You may be wondering if you can ever regain a sense of safety. With trauma therapy, you can heal wounds created by hurts in your past and build a sense of security and peace in your present.
Trauma symptoms can include:
Flashbacks or intrusive memories
Hypervigilance or feeling constantly on edge
Emotional numbness or detachment
Avoidance of places, people, or situations
Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
Irritability, anger, or sudden emotional outbursts
Shame, guilt, or self-blame
Feeling disconnected from your body or surroundings
Trouble concentrating or making decisions
Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
Trauma comes in many different forms, but there are ways to heal your past.
Life doesn’t have to feel this way.
I use several evidence-based methods to work with trauma symptoms, including EMDR, narrative therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy used to process and integrate emotional/traumatic memories.
EMDR re-activates the body and mind’s natural abilities to heal and integrate traumatic or other disturbing experiences. As a natural outcome of the EMDR therapeutic process, clients convey robust feelings of empowerment, serenity, strength, liberation, and courage; all natural indicators of emotional wellbeing and health.
Therapy for trauma can help you…
process events from your past so that they don’t interfere with today
improve sleep, concentration, physical fitness, and overall health
increase trust and improve relationships
develop a sense of safety and peace
