Hypervigilance
Frequent mood swings
Difficulty relaxing
Physical symptoms
Problems with sleeping
Muscle tension, fatigue
Headaches and stomachaches
Behavioral symptoms
Avoidance of certain situations
Difficulty concentrating
Social withdrawal
If that’s how you feel, I’m here to help. Discover trauma/PTSD therapy with my help.
What is trauma? Is this how you feel?
What is PTSD? Is this how you feel?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) develops when trauma remains unprocessed. PTSD can be a cause of many distressing symptoms that interfere with your daily life. The most common symptoms include:
Intrusive memories
Flashbacks
Nightmares
Chronic pain
Avoidance of places and situations that trigger distressing memories
Also, people struggling with PTSD often feel irritable, disconnected, dissociated, or easily overwhelmed.
Why should you seek trauma/PTSD therapy?
Understanding your trauma is just the beginning of a transformative journey. While awareness is crucial, it alone doesn't unravel and resolve the complexity of trauma residing within.
Trauma often becomes deeply embedded and frozen within the body, necessitating somatic experiencing to truly release it. This is why traditional talk therapy may sometimes be not enough.
If you’ve tried trauma therapy in the past, but you’re still struggling with difficult memories and emotions, you may need a more holistic approach that will allow you to “rewire” your brain, the nervous system, and the whole body.
Discover my approach to trauma therapy
In my trauma therapy approach, I draw upon the powerful and evidence-based tools such as:
EMDR
Brainspotting
Havening Techniques
IFS (Internal Family Systems)
To help you process trauma in a more effective way. Additionally, I draw from Polyvagal Theory and Attachment Theory to help you explain and normalize trauma. These models help in rewiring the trauma by shedding light on the somatic and emotional facets of your experiences, enabling you to comprehend the "what" and "why" behind your actions and experiences.
This newfound understanding fosters greater self-compassion, ultimately guiding you toward holistic healing.
What can you expect from trauma/PTSD therapy
There are five main benefits you can expect from trauma & PTSD therapy with me:
Normalize your experiences: By integrating Polyvagal and Attachment Theories, you will be able to normalize and explain your behaviors from a somatic and emotional perspective, thus helping you understand and accept your responses.
Release and heal: I provide you with a safe and supportive environment to help you release the stored trauma in your body, allowing for true healing.
Self-regulate: You will have the tools and resources to carry with you for the rest of your life. These will help to regulate your system in moments of high stress and prevent the overwhelm from hijacking your body in moments of crisis.
Enhance self-compassion: As you gain insight into the roots of your actions, you'll develop a deeper sense of self-compassion and self-acceptance.
Emotional freedom: Finally, thanks to trauma counseling, you will be able to experience emotional liberation as you free yourself from the grip of past traumas, allowing for a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
