PTSD- Unpacking the Trauma that Haunts You Still!

Knowledge is powerful in the case of PTSD. Did you know trauma is stored in a part of your brain that does not form words easily? Trauma flashes into consciousness despite efforts to subdue it because your brain and body are on a very powerful mission to protect you. Let’s learn more together about your mind-body connection and how to help it adapt to your present life.

You are a survivor. You have seen and felt things other people can’t even begin to understand. A part of you knows you are a very strong person but part of you is stuck in a vulnerable place in time. I can help you recognize your strengths while challenging maladaptive thinking and feeling that typically surrounds trauma (guilt, shame, self-blame).

Do you wish you had a better handle on your response to intrusive thoughts, bad dreams, avoidant behaviors? PTSD is like a crying child who need tending to with a blanket, restful spot, and a cup of water. PTSD gets louder when it is ignored. I can help you learn ways to answer the cries within so you can feel calmer and more in control.
