Trauma Recovery

It doesn’t matter…

… whether it wasn’t THAT traumatic or trauma is all you’ve ever known…

Your body remembers and reacts.

A racing heart…

Quick, shallow breaths…

Restlessness…

Jumpiness…

And you’re always on guard for “the next time.”

The daily reminders never stop…

Or memories crash through your brain out of nowhere.

It affects how you feel and think about yourself, others, and the world.

You try to forget… or push those memories down… or distract yourself…

But none of it helps.

Now, you might be thinking…

“Won’t talking about it in therapy make me feel WORSE??”

Maybe in the moment… for that session…

AND thinking and talking about it is called “leaning in.”

And leaning in is the opposite of avoidance… and avoidance is the friend of suffering.

The painful past that’s holding you back…

It’ll probably never be your favorite story to share at parties, but therapy can help take the edge off how your brain, heart, and body react to memories of it.

You may have heard of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)…

These are trauma treatments THAT WORK for most people suffering after an event or series of events rocked their world.

You have access to treatments that WORK!

You can shake the hold of your past experiences by leaning in and participating in therapy!

We can create more structure for the disorganized, unpredictable, and disturbing thoughts in your brain.

You can experience more peace in your body.

We can challenge your unhelpful beliefs and strengthen those that serve you, leaving you with a more accurate, balanced, and nuanced view of yourself, others (when appropriate), and the world.

All you have to do is show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
