Kalamazoo, Michigan therapist: Dr. Sarah Pouliot, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Dr. Sarah Pouliot

Psychologist, PhD, LP
Trauma did not wait for consent; Therapy must. While many different therapeutic modalities exist for the treatment of trauma and PTSD, what remains essential is the thoughtful and careful negotiation of pacing between therapist and client such that the therapeutic process feels as manageable and tolerable as possible. Given that trauma so often results from harmful relational dynamics that force agendas or remove personal agency, trauma therapy must offer a healing space that does not seek to rush, pressure, or impinge. Rather, and in my professional opinion, it's imperative that trauma therapy respect the client's experience of what feels manageable at any given moment in therapeutic time and space, working to avoid unnecessary setback and potential retraumatization. I feel this is best achieved through the development of a reliable therapeutic rapport and relationship that functions to carefully and mindfully co-monitor and co-negotiate the everchanging and expanding dynamics between therapist and client. Put another way, your therapy should not be forced into someone else's timeframe or methodology; it should be allowed to develop in step with your specific history, unique needs, and comfort level. Please refer to my Trauma Blog on my website (pouliotpsychologicalservices.com) for more information on my approach to the treatment of trauma.

Trauma shows up in the body, in relationships, and in the stories we tell about ourselves.

Seattle, Washington therapist: Brandon Zahl, counselor/therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Brandon Zahl

Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Unresolved trauma is a ghost that haunts us in every part of our lives. Mental, emotional and even physical consequences manifest from our past experiences, even if we don't remember them. We don't want to "go back there" yet we remain stuck, either consciously or unconsciously, until we tap into the body's innate ability to heal from the past. Together we'll work on connecting with a sense of safety and security in the present moment and work on tools for you to manage anxiety and depression. Then we'll gently begin revisiting the unprocessed trauma, bit by bit, until we've processed it through and you are free of the past.
