Trauma Therapy
Trauma work can look different for everyone. I often sit with folks who struggle with the lasting effects of complex (ongoing) relational trauma/c-PTSD or sexual trauma. I use a combination of parts work, somatic (body-based) work, psychodynamic, relational, and mindfulness-based approaches. (While I do not practice EMDR, many of the aforementioned approaches share overlapping principles and processes).
Trauma doesn’t always look obvious
Trauma can show up in ways that are hard to name at first. It may affect your thoughts, your body, your sleep, your relationships, or your ability to feel present and connected. For some people, trauma looks like overwhelm, anxiety, emotional numbing, dissociation, or repeating patterns that seem difficult to shift.
You do not need to have a single clear story of what happened in order to seek support. Sometimes the work begins with noticing how the past continues to live in the present, including in your body, your relationships, and the ways you protect yourself.
