Trauma and EMDR Therapy
When past experiences continue to affect the present
Trauma and toxic stress occur when experiences overwhelm your ability to cope, especially when support was limited or absent. These experiences don’t have to be dramatic or extreme to leave a lasting impact. You may notice emotional reactivity, numbness, hypervigilance, or difficulty feeling safe in relationships.
Trauma-informed therapy helps your nervous system learn that the threat has passed and supports healing at both emotional and physiological levels.
Trauma may show up as
Feeling easily triggered or emotionally overwhelmed
Chronic anxiety, depression, or shame
Difficulty trusting others or yourself
Disconnection from emotions or body sensations
Repeating patterns in relationships
A sense of being “stuck” despite insight
Our trauma-informed approach
We prioritize safety, choice, and collaboration in every session. Therapy is never about forcing you to relive painful experiences, but about helping your system process them in a way that feels manageable and respectful.
Treatment may include:
EMDR therapy to reprocess traumatic memories
Nervous system regulation and grounding skills
Understanding trauma responses and patterns
Strengthening internal and external supports
Integrating past experiences without re-traumatization
Healing is possible
With the right support, many clients experience reduced reactivity, improved emotional regulation, increased self-compassion, and a greater sense of control over their lives. Trauma work is approached thoughtfully and at a pace that supports lasting change.
