Trauma Recovery
Recovering from stressful and frightening experiences takes time, courage, and self-love. Therapy is a place to process the complex thoughts and feelings related to trauma recovery in a safe and compassionate environment.
People come to therapy to process:
Escaping high-control communities
Recovering from a natural disaster
Regaining personal safety, agency, and autonomy
Separating from an adverse work environment
Who is recovering from trauma?
What does trauma look like in the body?
Difficulties sleeping, eating, resting, or playing
Chronic and acute aches, pains, discomfort
Feeling disoriented, limited focus/concentration
Intense and frequent emotions
Flashbacks and sensitivity to specific triggers (e.g., scents, sounds, situations)
what’s your approach to trauma recovery?
To best serve you and your recovery, I use an integrated approach. My training is in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and I find that Narrative, Culturally-Responsive, Psychodynamic, and Somatic modalities often enter the therapy space, too.
This means we may explore how your thoughts, feelings, and actions impact your recovery. We might consider your past and how it impacts your recovery and the life ahead. The brain, body, and heart are connected, and any offered coping skills reflect this.
