It’s natural to try to forget or ignore the pain of traumatic events . . . but that’s like hoping that a broken leg will just go away. You need to tend to the injury, so the bone knits back together, supports your weight—and stops hurting!—so you aren’t hobbling around forever.

In other words, trauma leaves a mark no matter what. Better that mark be a scar than an open wound, right?

Even the worst, most unfair experiences you’ve had “want” to be acknowledged, metabolized, and integrated into your whole, healthy self. In fact, we’re all naturally inclined and fully equipped to do just that.

However, sometimes that natural process of healing gets interrupted, and that’s when the problems start.

Therapy for Trauma

I have a variety of tools to help you resolve your trauma and move forward confidently and happily.

One is Sensorimotor Psychotherapy®, which is based on the latest neurobiological research into trauma, and uses mindfulness and awareness of the body to get your trauma “unstuck” and integrated, so it doesn’t keep coloring your view of the world and yourself.

We can also work with trauma using traditional talk therapy and hypnosis, either separately or as a companion to Sensorimotor Psychotherapy®.

What is most important is finding the approach that feels right for you, for your unique situation, and restores your natural equilibrium and inner peace as efficiently as possible.
