What constitutes a traumatic event is a very personal experience. Often it isn’t until you are in therapy that you discover the full implications and impact on the quality of your life. The footprint of trauma can show itself as difficulty at work, unhealthy relationship patterns, anxiety, depression, or a lack of sleep. It can also be the total and complete interruption of your life. What you may think is anxiety or depression could be early trauma or developmental trauma. It can also be complex trauma created after multiple events and experiences. It is never what's wrong with you but what's happened to you!
Within the power of EMDR therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy is the foundational understanding that healing and freedom from trauma and the past are possible. We may also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy and other interventions for PTSD, OCD, addiction, anxiety, personality disorders, bipolar disorders, grief, self-harm, and dissociation.
Sometimes life can be hard and feel very confusing. Having a trusted partner on the road to healing is invaluable. The direction counseling takes should always be doing what works based on your goals. Lao Tzu said, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Tzu didn’t say you were meant to make the journey alone. Let's begin.
