Trauma-Sensitive Yoga works alongside individual therapy to help process trauma. It isn't focused on yoga-as-exercise. It's more like mindfulness with a body/emotion focus. The goal of TSY is to reconnect with and feel safe and empowered in your own body. This is not trauma talk-therapy but rather focuses on increasing awareness of our bodies and emotions and increasing our ability to regulate what we experience through yoga techniques like mindful breathing and strengthening our cores and spines. Evidence suggests applications for somatic/nervous system healing after a history of trauma. (Based on David Emerson's TSY model.)

Sometimes couples relationships are in crisis -- affairs discovered, repeated violations of trust, struggles to adjust to major life changes (moves, birth of a child, adoptions, grief or loss, etc), and they need more support than a typical one-hour counseling session can provide. Couples intensive sessions allow us to tailor sessions to your needs and work together until we have established stability in the relationship.

*NEW CYCLE BEGINNING 6/14 - HELD VIRTUALLY* This eight-week psycho-educational group will provide individuals who have a history of complex trauma with specific skills and foundational knowledge to help understand how repeated, long-term exposure to trauma affects an individual's body, mind, and interpersonal functioning.

I offer these psycho-education sessions as a group or individually.
