Symptoms of Trauma

recover from trauma with the help of somatic psychotherapy, depth therapy, and EMDR

Sometimes trauma has debilitating impacts on our lives. Often the impacts are very subtle and difficult to identify without the help of a skilled therapist. In some cases it’s obvious when we’ve had a traumatic experience. Sometimes trauma is chronic and becomes so familiar that we don’t recognize it as damaging for many years.

Here are some common symptoms that may indicate you have unprocessed trauma:

challenges in relationships
self-critical
fears and phobias
difficulty trusting
low self-esteem
difficulty regulating emotions
addictions to food, substances, or activities
judgmental of others
chronic pain
withdrawing or isolating

intrusive thoughts
obsessive behaviors
nightmares or flashbacks
depression and/or suicidal thoughts
low energy or fatigue
irritability and mood swings
feeling powerless to change repetitive patterns
short-fuse or reactive responses
insomnia
dissociation

“Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going inside ourselves.”

— Bessel A. van der Kolk

At the core of our practice is a trauma-informed philosophy rooted in safety, compassion, and collaboration. We deeply respect the complexity of trauma and honor the courage it takes to embark on a healing journey. Our integrative approach combines evidence-based techniques with a holistic understanding of the mind-body connection, tailoring every session to meet your unique needs.

Building Rapport & Establishing Safety

We pace the work to honor your capacity and ensure you feel in control at every step. Together, we explore tools to calm the nervous system, reducing the intensity of trauma responses and cultivating a sense of stability.

Understanding Your Story

Trauma does not exist in isolation—it is deeply intertwined with your history, relationships, and environment. We take a comprehensive approach to understanding your experiences, exploring family and relationship histories. This compassionate exploration provides insight into the root causes of your struggles, empowering deeper self-understanding and clarity.

Integrative and In-Depth Healing Techniques

We use a variety of therapeutic modalities that address trauma on cognitive, emotional, somatic, and neurological levels.

Goals for Trauma Therapy

Healing is a deeply personal and transformative process. Our work focuses on guiding you toward a place of:

Exploration —> Gently uncovering the layers of your trauma, understanding its impact, and gaining clarity about your emotional and relational patterns.
Acceptance —> Embracing all parts of yourself and your story with compassion, recognizing that you are not defined by your trauma.
Growth —> Moving toward a life of greater connection, purpose, and authenticity, guided by the resilience and wisdom you uncover during the process.

We view trauma therapy as an opportunity not just to heal, but to reclaim your sense of self and build a life aligned with your deepest values and aspirations. Together, we work toward your empowerment, resilience, and freedom.
