Trauma, PTSD, and Complex Trauma
You have a lot to be thankful for.
And truthfully, there’s much you could boast about. You’ve used life well.
But you wake up in the middle of the night or find yourself staring into your own internal images and accompanying thoughts in the middle of the day. Some sorrow and additional unresolved feelings keep cycling.
You wonder: Should I try to resolve this, or is it just too late? Will this personal fear and agony ever diminish?
Kelly* is fulfilled with her life and happy with her career.
And still, failure at making another dream come true keeps tapping her on the shoulder. Switching gears now would be disruptive. She is a huge success.
But something else stopped her. Her attempt to pursue another dream led to betrayals, heartaches, and disappointment that changed her inside.
She never fully healed.
And though she has tried to think her way through it, talk her way to a resolution with a counselor, and pray to let it go, the upset grows bigger in private.
Healing old wounds…
When we face this kind of past trauma experience, there is something life is calling us to do. Life, God, Goddess has a plan, and it truly doesn’t have to disrupt our lives.
We don’t need to know what it is. We need to heal the old wounds so there is space for the new plan to grow naturally.
When we face deep sorrow, disappointment, grief, and other feelings, fresh land is cleared inside our own hearts. Force is eliminated. Endless agony is gone. A chance at something new emerges with wonderful support from life.
But how are the emotions cleared?
A multi-faceted approach to healing.
EMDR, Somatic therapy, hypnotherapy, IFS, and expressive arts therapy all work wonders.
Based on your personal comfort and inclinations, we will choose a modality or a few that best suit you.
You can expect to feel lighter, regain lost motivation that has been hidden under grief, and receive
new and working support from God, the Universe, Source Creator, or your Higher Power, depending on your beliefs. Christ can be brought in.
Each session, we will engage in exercises that help you naturally unwind old hurts.
EMDR…
Digest old emotions and wounds that have never been resolved. You feel more spacious inside. In place of disruption, you feel at ease.
Somatic therapy…
Trade in fight, flight, and freeze patterns for embrace. You soften instead of stiffening, and there’s more room for you to experience life.
Hypnotherapy…
Turn fears and conflicts into peace and solutions. You can make changes to beliefs that have hindered you. You become free to live well and create new realities in your life.
IFS…
Transform internal disruption into internal cohesiveness. You become your own best friend! Experience life with more joy, and new doors open to you.
Expressive arts therapy…
A creative and fun way to explore your difficulties, arriving at solutions that don’t come through mental changes alone.
