Healing from Trauma

You want to feel safe anywhere you go.

In charge of your life.

But a traumatic experience can make us feel like a different person.

Everything around you makes you feel like your world is out of control.

“Who can I trust?”

Before, you were relaxed and confident there was nothing you couldn’t handle.

But one moment changed your world as you knew it.

When everything you once knew was no longer.

Distorted perceptions and the confusion about the trauma left you reeling.

The future was uncertain and now you must handle new challenges on your own.

Little things throughout the day seem like a trigger.

They push you back, just when you thought you were recovering.

You’ve done everything you can on your own.

“More than anything, I just want to make it through a day without the fear, nightmares, or painful memories ruling my life.”

You long to be back to your old-self where the world wasn’t such a frightening place.

Every emotion feels so intense.

What hasn’t the trauma affected…?

The hurt, shame, anxiety, and memories play on repeat – your body is exhausted from all the stress.

Work has now become a challenge and your performance is less than average.

Disconnected from people you love, no longer leaving the house. At times, you’ve even turned to using alcohol or drugs to escape the pain.

Trauma has affected all your relationships and even your closes friends think you need help.

Therapy can help you feel like a normal person again.

I’ll help you process your painful memories so that you can move forward.

Over time, you will be able to look back at your memories without the traumatic event filling your thoughts.

You will want to be with family and friends again and won’t have to fight the depression and anxiety that trauma caused in your life.

The shame and the pain will no longer control who you are.

Therapy for trauma is meant to help you face your memories without being alone while you heal.

It helps you understand your physiological responses of what happened to you. Developing new skills will allow you to overcome the trauma’s negative impact.

Reduction in anxiety, irritability, and isolation will help you get back to the life you want to live.

No longer will the trauma dictate your daily life.

Therapy for trauma varies and can last up to eight weeks depending on your commitment and motivation.

In addition to trauma counseling I also offer ART therapy , which has shown evidential benefits to trauma survivors.

You can move beyond the pain and succeed again, and I can help you. Call me today, and I’ll show you how to move forward and find healing from your trauma. (913) 633-8932
