Overcome and conquer past trauma with EMDR and other powerful therapies, embrace new balance and emotional freedom
Clinical trauma is often misunderstood. It can affect every aspect of our lives- including our daily functioning, our perception of ourselves, others and the world. Trauma is heavy, often dragging us down and preventing us from being able to live our lives fully and joyfully. Trauma can be overt and obvious- past abuse, domestic violence, bullying or combat, or even an accident. Trauma may also be subtle and less obvious, but equally debilitating, such as chronic
dysfunction or conflict within a family system, emotional/verbal abuse, emotional neglect, or inability to emotionally connect with someone you love.
Further examples of trauma include:
- Sexual assault
- Serious illness or injury
- The loss of a loved one or someone close to you- this can be classified as trauma or grief
- Being a witness to violence
- Crime or accidents
- Natural disaster such as tornado, hurricane, or fire
- Childbirth, typical or traumatic birth
- Suicide attempt, yourself or a loved one
- Addiction and related struggles
Regardless of the origins, trauma can leave us feeling alone and isolated, not knowing where to turn for relief. We partner with our clients on their personal journey of healing and hope.
We have several therapists who specialize in trauma, using EMDR and other trauma informed modalities. EMDR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a powerful approach to healing the deep wounds of trauma. The following quotes are from clients who have experienced the overwhelming benefits of our trauma specialized therapeutic approaches-
“I have carried a weight on my chest for years without realizing it. After only a few weeks of therapy I feel lighter, it is easier to breathe.”
“I would drive past the location of my accident and start hyperventilating, feeling lightheaded. I started taking an alternate route to work. Working with my therapist has been life changing. Not only can I drive past this accident site without noticing, but other aspects of my life that were impacted by this have improved dramatically. I did not expect this but am grateful……”
“I have had flashes or images of abuse from my childhood for years. I never thought much about it and did not at all understand the degree to which my past trauma was impacting me. I have been through five months of trauma therapy and notice that the images and memories of trauma have faded, literally faded. The details are hard to recall. I had no idea how strongly these past experiences were impacting me. It’s like a veil has been lifted.”
We assist clients with healing and breaking free from the pain of past trauma to live joyful and fully functional lives.
