Trauma refers to emotional and psychological responses resulting from distressing or overwhelming experiences. These experiences can range from single incidents to ongoing situations, causing intense emotional reactions that may disrupt a person's sense of safety, well-being, and trust in the world. Trauma can impact thoughts, emotions, relationships, and even physical health. Recognizing that trauma responses are normal reactions to abnormal situations is essential.

Addressing trauma is a profoundly individual journey, and therapy provides the tools and support needed for healing. Clients learn about trauma, how it affects the mind and body, and how it can manifest in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Negative thought patterns related to the trauma are identified and challenged, leading to more balanced perspectives. As clients work through the process, they can experience a sense of empowerment, renewed hope, and the ability to reclaim their lives from the grip of trauma. You're not alone on this journey. Your story matters. I understand that taking that first step can be intimidating, but remember, you've already taken an essential step toward healing by considering it.
