Pamela Silsby-Sharkey
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, Coach
Polyvagal informed therapy helps to regulate the nervous system and helps us relearn how to co-regulate with others again. Trauma occurs whenever our nervoius systems are overwhelmed and go into fight, flight, or freeze. Ideally we shift out of dorsal vagal and into ventral vagal. Brainspotting, Tapping, EMDR, and IFS are wonderful modalities for treating trauma. Trauma is pervasive, it's everywhere. It shows up as big "T" traumas and as little "t" traumas. Creating a safe place to heal from is the priority so that we can begin to heal.

You may not realize you're suffering from trauma - you just know something is not quite right. You tried meditating, but it only made you more frustrated. You tried being positive, but that didn't last long. You tried gratitude, and it felt like a slap in the face. What if you did have something to be truly grateful for? Inner peace, confidence, knowing who you really are - the list can be endless. Trauma can destroy your sense of self and your motivation to keep trying, but healing is possible. have hope - reach out today.

Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Here at Denver Wellness Counseling we specialize in EMDR and trauma/PTSD counseling. Our therapists have achieved advanced training in what we call Elevated EMDR, meaning the ability to effectively combine modalities and adapt the EMDR basic protocol to best meet the needs of the client.
Therapy for Trauma and PTSD have some primary components, including (but not limited to), gathering history, identifying parts of self related to the trauma (wounded younger parts and protector parts), building and practicing skills for self-regulation and self-soothing, resourcing by strengthening internal qualities and sources of positive affect, reprocessing traumatic memories (EMDR), and integrating adaptive themes and positive messages about self and the world.
Traumatic memories are stored differently in the brain, remaining in their "raw" form, in isolation from our adaptive (helpful) information, and able to impact our day-to-day experiences. With PTSD, our traumatic memories can frequently cause us to flash back into trauma-related thoughts, feelings, sensation, and action urges (fight, flight, freeze, submit, cry for help). EMDR uses eye movements or other bilateral sensations (similar to those found in REM sleep) to activate and encourage the brains natural ability to "reprocess" memories, which can both desensitize the memory (take the intensity out) and allow integration with the more adaptive neural circuitry. This process of emotional reprocessing can thus take the power away from these memories so they stop replaying and impacting our current functioning.

Natalie Stemati
Psychologist, Psy.D.
A lot of people experience trauma within their family of origin. I work with developmental (childhood) and attachment (ways of learning how to emotionally bond) trauma which includes growing up in alcoholism, abuse, conflict, parent death and/or any traumatic experience endured during childhood. As a result, a lot of people develop a type of insecure attachment that impacts their current relationships (i.e. dependency, fear, conflict, anxiety).
