TRAUMA
Trauma can present in many ways and affect your ability to function at your best.
Healing from trauma is a deeply personal and complex journey that requires expert guidance and support. Working with a highly skilled therapist is crucial in this process. Always look for a trauma-informed therapist that will:
-Provide a safe, confidential, and empathetic environment where you can explore your past without fear of judgment and feel validated.
-Understand the many ways trauma affects the mind and body, and how they impact each other.
-Understand evidence-based techniques to address and heal from trauma.
-Navigate the multifaceted nature of trauma, whether it involves complex trauma, generational trauma, or trauma bonding.
-Can identify and unravel the deep-seated patterns and coping mechanisms that you may have developed over time and address the ones that are no longer serving you.
-Empower you in order to foster resilience and recovery.
-Understands the importance of pacing in order to avoid retraumatization and promote steady progress towards healing. Be weary of anyone who offers you a quick fix to trauma.
