PTSD and Trauma Recovery

Something has happened. 

It’s hard to talk about, even think about.

Whether you are awake, or asleep – it doesn’t matter

What happened, why, and what it means storms around in your head.

It can’t be shaken off.

You’ve tried making sense of what happened. Maybe you’ve even told some people.

Maybe you’ve also tried not to think about it for years.

Why won’t it just go away? Time heals all wounds, that kind of thing?

Was it even real?

And there’s the doubt. Maybe it didn’t happen, wasn’t that bad, and shouldn’t affect me so much.

Or the classic: ‘Other people have had it worse’. 

“Just move on” – I sincerely hope you’ve haven’t had to hear that one.

I believe you.

Trauma can be pretty confusing and exhausting to face. 

It doesn’t matter if it’s discreet trauma, complex, or anywhere in between.

I’ve been there. And it is possible to face what happened and recover.

What happened is real, and you deserve support to heal from this.

I want to help you recover and move forward.

Therapy is your space to feel safe to face what happened finally and fully.

We will work at your pace to talk about what happened.

We will help you uncover how your mind made sense of what happened – spoiler alert: the human brain tends to stay stuck when it’s trying to make sense of trauma. 

You will receive tools to cope with what comes up. And we’ll help you process the emotions that are stuck there, so you don’t carry it all anymore.

You’ll come to terms with this, finally.

Facing fears and knocking down mental obstacles is a lot, and it also brings relief.

You’ll be able to finally confront what happened, and experience the empowerment that develops as you do it. 

Let’s face this together – it’s one of my primary passions as a therapist. Call me for your free consultation: (408) 409-5245.
