 TRAUMA

Trauma is the lasting impact of deeply distressing experiences, whether once or repeatedly over an extended period. It's a powerful force that can profoundly shape and influence our lives.

Trauma Treatment

Using a polyvagal theory lens, I empower you to recognize and manage common symptoms and understand the meaning of overwhelming body sensations, intrusive emotions, and distorted cognitive schemas. This knowledge puts you in control, allowing you to focus on grounding and stabilization using strategies such as Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance skills, and emotional regulation techniques.
 

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

PTSD symptoms can include intrusive memories, nightmares, and flashbacks. People may avoid trauma reminders, leading to emotional numbness. They may also experience chronic anger, insomnia, impaired concentration, and a constant sense of danger.
