Trauma and PTSD
Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of diverse traumas. Because trauma destabilizes the nervous system, life can be experienced with a tremendous amount of stress and reactivity (hyperarousal) as well as numbness and indifference (hypoarousal). When we address the emotional and energetic aspects of trauma, our higher-self can re-engage with the distressed body to nurture recovery and rebalancing. The practice of resourcing (the ability to use internal and external resources to constructively achieve a relaxed but alert state of being) builds up and restores long-term resilience. Resourcing anchors our nervous system with calm and ease, enhances our ability to respond to spontaneous stress and refreshes our sense of self, connections to others, and feelings about the world.

Trauma and PTSD
Arielle Grossman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma is the invisible wound we all carry. Working with me, I will help you understand what trauma is, how it impacts the body, build active body awareness and coping skills around it. Trauma can feel like a scary word and meaning. But what happened to you, does not define you and you have the power to change the story surrounding this trauma wound.

Trauma and PTSD
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You already have displayed such a beautiful expression of courage by seeking out support. In the beginning of therapy, we’ll build on this courage by identifying what is working for you in life right now, bringing in new resources to expand the sense of safety to live and connect. Then slowly taking little tastes of deeper, painful work, we’ll move back and forth, allowing your full being to embrace this new way of living without the added weight of judgment or pressure to live any one way. We’ll consider the stories and thoughts, the emotions, the images and picture memories, as well as, the groans, pains, and numbness of your body that are charged by fight-flight-freeze-faint energy. We’ll honor all parts of you as we work together to engage all the rules of safety and connection that you’ve learned through past experiences. We’ll consider what is and is not working well for you now, and, we’ll identify new purposes for these parts of you that honor your living and connecting now.
