Healing Trauma and PTSD

You are not permanently stuck here.

Even if it feels like the flashbacks, anxiety, and exhaustion never stop. It is your mind doing its best to protect you.

When that painful experience happens, your mind and body prepare for action. It just has not realized that you are safe now. Therefore, it triggers a reaction to the trauma you experienced.

Trauma has many causes, and some traumatic events can create PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) that can develop long-term responses to trauma, like nightmares, feeling overly frightened, and overreacting to specific triggers.

Living with the effects of trauma can impact your life physically and emotionally.

What does the science say?

(Do not worry. You won’t be tested on this information.)

There are two ways that trauma affects the human mind and body – it affects how memories are stored (I will tell you more about our inner librarian, the hippocampus), and it gets stored in the body.

Using the memory reconsolidation process, we will help your brain store the memories in the correct places so that you no longer have any emotional energy connected to the event(s) you experienced.

You will only have the data left (and you can store it in your memory library’s basement, where it can collect dust).

At the same time, we will gently reconnect the mind and body so that whatever emotional energy has gotten stuck can be released. Yes, there might be tears.

We go beyond coping.

Our goal is to clear trauma at its root. It is about identifying the underlying causes, which allows us to help you learn to process that trauma and put it where it belongs – in the past.

Using your nervous system’s natural ability to heal, we will move your mind forward and away from the pain.

Our work together focuses not on coping strategies BUT on clearing out the trauma permanently.
