Healing Trauma, Empowering Change

 Trauma is defined as experiencing an extremely distressing event leading to psychological and many times physical symptoms. What is traumatic for some --perhaps a car accident or experiencing being yelled at by a manager--may not be traumatic for others.

C-PTSD is complex, or ongoing reexperienced trauma over time. A good example of C-PTSD is childhood abuse. Many times when a family has an ongoing dysfunctional pattern such as yelling, physical or sexual abuse, or ongoing tactics to gain control over a child or adult, C-PTSD is the result. 

How can trauma informed therapy help? 

Attending therapy with a therapist who understands trauma and trauma responses can help you understand what you are experiencing and ways to address it. Many times EMDR will be utilized in session to address traumatic memories and assist you to feel better. As an EMDR trauma therapist, this may be used to help you heal.
