Whether you have had a one time trauma or a lot of small incidences over time, talk therapy is not always effective. We do provide a talk therapy called CPT which is proven effective, we also offer EMDR and Brainspotting which are body based therapies that can resolve trauma more quickly.

Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Trauma and PTSD can be discovered on several levels. For example -- a one time car crash. A victim or a crime. Abuse of any kind. Chronic child abuse. Relational abuse. Being bullied or humiliated. Past traumas that are not resolved are held in a special organ in the brain called the 'amygdala.' The traumatic memory can be 'triggered' off and on for years -- which can and will ultimately interfere in many aspects of ones life. The great news is that unprocessed traumas and PTSD can be effectively treated. You can be free of disturbing memories and emotional recalls that cause anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, etc. Help is available.

Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.
