Releasing Trauma
Ever since “it” happened…
The unexpected loss of a loved one…
An abusive relationship…
A violation…
An accident…
A string of misfortune…
Life hasn’t been the same.
You end up the victim of your own emotions…
… despite your desire to “tell your story” and be “the strong survivor.”
Guilt, shame, fear, anxiety, and chronic mistrust can be debilitating to the point of paralyzing fear. You’re torn: You can’t let your guard down, but you can’t keep living with these intense emotions.
And all that’s against a background of emptiness – a hollow feeling in the pit of your stomach.
The trauma creeps into all areas of your life…
It weaves its way into your decisions…
It affects your likes and dislikes…
It attracts you to people and situations that keep you living in the same cycles, unable to change.
Do you feel like you want to “numb out”?
Are you scared of change?
Are you tearing up out of nowhere, triggered by sounds, sights, or smells?
It’s okay to need help. That’s what therapy is for.
It’s important to share your story, but that’s hard to do with your friends, family, or other “ordinary people.” It’s hard for them to understand and accept what you’re going through without judgments or thinking that you’re “weak” or “fragile.”
Therapy is a safe place to confront your vivid memories and intense emotions. We’ll explore what you’re going through, including your difficulty trusting others (and yourself!).
We’ll also look at how your personality may have changed in burdensome ways to cope with the trauma – why you’ve become a pleaser, over-thinker, and planner rather than a doer.
You will learn new ways to cope with the triggers. We’ll use various techniques to help you release those difficult emotions.
Free yourself from trauma’s cage!
You are NOT broken or permanently damaged.
You ARE capable of positive emotions and healthy relationships.
You CAN confront your fears and recover.
