Trauma Processing
Trauma processing is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps people work through and heal from painful or overwhelming experiences. Trauma can take many forms—sometimes it’s a single event, other times it’s a series of experiences over months or years. Regardless of the source, trauma can deeply affect the way we think, feel, and relate to others.
In this work, safety comes first. We move at your pace, always checking in to make sure you feel grounded and supported. Together, we explore the memories, thoughts, and emotions connected to your experiences—not to relive them, but to release their hold on your present life. Using evidence-based methods, we work to reduce the intensity of distressing memories, address symptoms like anxiety, depression, or hypervigilance, and strengthen your ability to cope with life’s challenges.
Trauma processing is not just about talking—it’s about creating new pathways for healing. This might include practicing grounding skills, building self-compassion, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and finding ways to feel safe in your own body again.
