Trauma Recovery

Finding the path back to OK…

You say, “Don’t think about it, and you will be all right.”

Painful memories are something that you work hard to avoid. It’s better to put those memories in a box, and you have put the box far away.

You tell yourself that the things that happened to you are no big deal. It’s over and done. That event is in the past, and you are fine.

Now, get over it.

Perhaps avoidance is not working.

Although you may have buried that box of memories, you don’t feel right, and things worsen.

You are on edge and easily see all the horrible things that can go wrong.

Life’s stress causes you to overreact in confusing ways.

Sometimes, you feel disconnected, hopeless, and numb. The worst part is sometimes you don’t mind the numbness; it is a relief.

Trauma may be the cause.

No one likes to believe they have trauma, but painful events from the past can live on in our nervous system, causing problems today.

You might be able to identify a traumatic event in your life. Still, you can also experience trauma from events you might be discounting, such as surgery, illness, immigration, the death of a loved one, etc.

Also, multiple minor traumas can create a constant state of nervous system overdrive, even if those events happened years ago.

There is a path back to OK.

The way out really is through. We will open that buried box with kindness and care and unpack the pain in manageable and safe ways. We will think about it. We will talk about it. We will slowly feel through it.

Using body-based mindfulness and Somatic Internal Family Systems, we will help the parts of you that have become locked away in trauma. We will support those parts and enable them to express and process the trauma in ways that integrate body, mind, and spirit.

You will feel whole again and be able to reemerge and reengage in life with a solid sense of hope, security, and possibility.

You will know that you have the resiliency and resources, heart, mind, and soul, to thrive and grow no matter what life brings.

Let’s walk together along a path that leads to your healing. You can feel OK again!
