Living with trauma is like carrying an invisible weight

You might find yourself reacting to situations in ways that don't make sense logically, trapped in fight, flight, or freeze responses without fully understanding why. Traditional talk therapy, focusing on logic and cognition, often misses the emotional and physiological layers where trauma truly resides. This can leave you feeling stuck, as if you're reliving the past despite your best efforts to move forward.

Envision a therapeutic approach that goes beyond just talking, one that helps you connect with and heal the deeper emotional and primal states where trauma reactions are stored. Together, we'll explore methods that address not just your thoughts, but also your body's reactions, helping to release the grip of trauma. Our work will center on regulating your nervous system and cultivating a felt sense of safety, key steps in the journey toward healing.

Steps we'll take include:

• Going Beyond Logic: Utilizing therapies that reach the emotional and physiological roots of trauma, moving past purely cognitive approaches.

• Nervous System Regulation: Introducing techniques to help calm and regulate your nervous system, reducing the impact of trauma responses.

• Building Safety: Focusing on creating a felt sense of safety within you, crucial for trauma healing to occur.

• Accessing Primal States: Gently exploring and healing the primal states where trauma is held, using tailored therapeutic approaches.

• Empowering Resilience: Strengthening your innate resilience, supporting your ability to cope with and recover from traumatic experiences.

Ultimately, what will change? My goal is to help you experience a profound shift from survival mode to a state of thriving. As we work through the layers of trauma, my hope is that you’ll find a newfound sense of peace, safety, and empowerment in your life.

Healing from trauma is possible. Together, we can navigate the path from enduring to thriving, helping you reclaim your life from the shadows of the past.
