When the past doesn't feel like the past.
You might tell yourself "It wasn't that bad" "I should be over this by now." But your body tells a different story.
Maybe you notice:
✓ Anxiety that feels constant or hard to control.
✓Triggers that don't seem to make sense.
✓ Feeling on edge, irritable, or overwhelmed.
✓ Trouble sleeping or relaxing.
✓A sense that something just isn't "settled".
Trauma doesn't always look like one big event. It can come from:
-Birth experiences
-Medical Experiences
-Relationships
-Or ongoing stress over time
If your nervous system feels stuck in it-you're not imagining it.
What is trauma therapy?
Trauma therapy helps your mind and body process experiences that feel unresolved, so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity.
Instead of just talking about what happened, we focus on:•
-How it’s showing up for you now•
-How your nervous system is responding•
-How to help your system feel safe again
What does trauma informed mean?
Trauma-informed therapy means we approach your care with safety and intention.
This includes:
-Moving at your pace (no rushing into anything)
-Building coping tools before processing deeper material
-Paying attention to your nervous system, not just your thoughts
-Making sure you feel in control of the process
-You won’t be pushed to share more than you’re ready for.
What is EMDR therapy?
When something traumatic happens, it can get “stuck” in the brain in a way that keeps it feeling current.
EMDR helps your brain:
-Process what happened
-Store it in a more adaptive way
-Reduce the emotional charge connected to it
During EMDR, we use bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) while briefly focusing on a memory.
Over time, many people notice:
-The memory feels less intense
-Triggers decrease
-They feel more grounded and in control
What to to expect in therapy
Starting trauma therapy can feel intimidating—but it’s not about diving straight into the hardest parts.
Here’s what it typically looks like:
1. Getting to know you
We talk about what’s been going on, your history, and your goals.
2. Building tools
You’ll learn strategies to:
-Manage anxiety-
-Feel more grounded
-Regulate your nervous system
3. Processing (when you’re ready)
If we use EMDR, we’ll gently begin processing specific experiences at a pace that feels manageable.
4. Integration
We focus on helping you feel more stable, confident, and connected in your daily life.
