Trauma 

Trauma can have an impact on you in your everyday life and relationships. It may have happened years ago or it may be relatively new. A traumatic event disrupts your sense of self, safety, and how you see the world. You may have experienced a life threatening trauma or traumas that changed your life in other ways. When you heal through that, you can finally be free from negative thoughts about yourself, others, and the world. 

How Therapy Can Help:

  • Learn how to process traumatic events in a healthy way.

  • Recognize how trauma has affected your relationships so that they can be improved.

  • Create a deep understanding of yourself.

  • Learn to manage difficult memories or sensations of your trauma.

  • Address any guilt or shame from trauma so that it no longer disrupts your life.

  • Create self-esteem and self-worth.

  • Learn more about the neurology of trauma so that it can finally be healed.

  • Reprocess trauma in the way YOU need to in order to heal and move on in your life.

  • Learn to validate and identify your own needs, wants, and desires.

  • Respond to situations in your life in healthy ways instead of being emotionally overwhelmed.

  • Create relationships that are healthy based on an understanding and healing from trauma.

  • Create healthy boundaries that protect your energy, time, and emotions.

  • Learn coping mechanisms for physical or emotional overwhelm.
