Trauma can make us feel disconnected from our bodies, our emotions, people in our lives, and the world at large. We can feel either constant emotional overwhelm or numbness. This only perpetuates us feeling out-of-control and unable to make everyday decisions and lead the life we want. Our relationships may be strained and we may feel hopeless on how to build healthier ones. These are just some of the common symptoms individuals who have experienced recent or past trauma may experience. We are focused on treating childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse; childhood emotional neglect, emotional abandonment and/or emotional incest; sexual assault/rape; adult children of alcoholics, religious trauma, etc.
Restoring feelings of internal and external safety is at the forefront of trauma work. If you’re finding it difficult to manage your overall functioning, focus, life satisfaction, relationships, etc. and regularly experience shutting down/dissociating/detaching as a way of coping with the weight of it all, please reach out to us. We can help by providing treatment for complex trauma/dissociation using a TriPhasic Approach. Phase I includes (re)stabilization, re(establishing) safety, building a healthy attachment/therapeutic connection with your therapist, building regulation and co-regulation skills to assist in calming your nervous system, etc. We don’t enter into the trauma processing and memory work (Phase II) until the fundamental Phase I concepts and skills are addressed and strengthened. Rushing into trauma/memory work poses a high risk of re-traumatization, thus our priority and clinical skills center around delivering treatment in a paced and contained way as to prevent any further impairment to your functioning. Phase III focuses largely on integrating all pieces from Phase I and II that allows you to live out your life aligned with your values and a strengthened internal sense of self and safety (post-traumatic growth).
Our therapists utilize the TriPhasic Approach when working with clients with histories of childhood trauma, complex trauma/C-PTSD, and dissociation.
