Does it feel like past trauma controls your life?

Whether in your childhood or adulthood, you’ve been through one or multiple significant events that have changed your life. Maybe it was:

  • Neglect from someone you trusted to take care of your needs.

  • Emotional or mental abuse, causing you to have internal scars.

  • Sexual abuse, whether by someone you knew or didn’t know.

  • Physical assault or abuse, which left you with reminders on your body.

  • Sudden loss of a loved one (and it hurts so bad to think about them).

  • A car accident that gives you flashbacks when you are on the road.

The anxiety, fear, and depression that arose after the traumas have caused you so much discomfort. As a result, now you experience:

  • Confusion on how to move forward when the pain of the trauma still lingers.

  • Distressing memories that take up some of your headspace throughout the day.

  • Strong physical reactions when something reminds you of that event.

  • Avoidance of places, memories, or people that perhaps you normally wouldn’t prior to the trauma. 

You’re having trouble knowing how to navigate moving forward.

It seems like no one has the answers to assure you the safety and trust that you so desire but feels broken beyond repair. 

You’ve noticed how your past traumas have affected multiple areas in your life:

  • Trouble sleeping the recommended hours.

  • Appetite changes, like not eating enough or over-eating.

  • Lack of connection with others because it’s easier to isolate.

  • Watching your surroundings closely, but sometimes you also…

  • Stay at home because being on edge in public is embarrassing.

It’s been hard to feel like you have a sense of control in these facets. You’re not sure what to do next, but what you do know is that this isn’t how you imagined your life to be

Despite the past, you now have the final say in your story; discovering your voice is within your reach.

Therapy can change life after trauma for the better by:

Many clients come to me after having been in therapy before. Their number one concern was that talk therapy did not help them process trauma thoroughly. Fortunately, through Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), clients have mentioned how life-changing therapy has been this time around.

I specialize in working with trauma with deep mindfulness towards each client’s unique experiences. I know that it feels difficult when you keep having reminders of it. When the triggers come up, your brain thinks the trauma is happening again, causing unrest and distress. You’re tired of being on “survival mode.”

As we work together, we will use both your brain and body’s natural abilities to help you resolve your trauma through ART and IFS. Both guide you to understand the feelings, thoughts, and sensations that you have daily regarding the trauma.

Therapy for trauma can help you…

 
  • Build the motivation you need to do things and go to places you once enjoyed before. You won’t feel the need to avoid them because the reminders no longer trigger you.

  • Replace distressing images and memories of the trauma. Your mind can finally rest from the nightmares and flashbacks.

  • Recall the facts of your trauma without the intensive physical and emotional reactions. Your body can relax and feel stable again because your brain reprogrammed the way the trauma was stored. 

  • Reconnect with yourself and the people you love safely. You’ll regain the trust you lost after the trauma.

  • Achieve a better balance in your life. Since the trauma no longer overwhelms you, you’ll have clarity on how to navigate each day moving forward and feeling more aligned with your values.

Find freedom from the painful reminders of your trauma.
