Healing from Trauma
Trauma can take many forms, from experiences of loss, abuse, or neglect to sudden life-altering events. The impact of trauma is not only emotional but also physical, affecting the way your body and mind respond to stress, relationships, and everyday life. You may notice flashbacks, anxiety, difficulty trusting others, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and the world.
Healing from trauma is not about forgetting or erasing the past. It is about learning how to live fully in the present, reclaim your sense of safety, and reconnect with your strength, resilience, and purpose.
Why Therapy Can Help You Heal from Trauma
Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process traumatic experiences at your own pace. Together, we can explore how the trauma has affected your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop strategies to restore a sense of safety and balance in your life.
You will learn to recognize triggers, understand your body’s responses, and build coping skills that allow you to navigate your world with more confidence and calm.
How Somatic Psychotherapy Supports Trauma Recovery
Trauma is often stored in the body, which can lead to tension, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness. Somatic psychotherapy helps you reconnect with your body and release patterns that may have developed in response to past trauma.
In our work, we might:
-
Practice grounding techniques to feel safe and present
-
Use breathwork and movement to release stored tension
-
Explore physical sensations connected to emotional experiences
-
Develop tools to manage triggers and emotional dysregulation
-
Create a personalized path toward restoring connection with yourself and others
Why This Works
Healing from trauma is not a linear process, but when you address both your mind and body, you build a foundation for lasting resilience. Over time, you can feel more present, more connected, and more capable of responding to life rather than reacting out of old patterns.
Clients often share that they:
-
Feel safer in their body and in the world
-
Experience fewer flashbacks and intrusive memories
-
Rebuild trust and intimacy in relationships
-
Develop a stronger sense of self and personal empowerment
You Can Heal and Reclaim Your Life
Trauma does not define you. Healing is possible, and you deserve to feel safe, grounded, and fully alive. Through therapy, you can release what no longer serves you, strengthen your resilience, and create a life guided by your values and desires.
If you are ready to begin the journey of healing and reclaiming your sense of safety and agency, I would be honored to support you every step of the way.
