Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Experiences of sexual abuse and other sexuality traumata are a visceral violation of you as a person. They can leave you not only feeling ashamed and guilty but also physically stuck in a state of feeling trapped. Used polyvagal-based neural interventions, Shelly will work with you to restore a felt sense of safety. She can guide you through healing from additional wounding caused by people saying you should have done something to get away. Shelly will help you understand that, biologically, your body has an automatic instinct to collapse and cooperate in a last resort attempt of survival. Unfortunately, it can lead your system to stay stuck in a state of disconnection, going through motions. Mind-body therapies can help you restore your sense of self and a felt sense of safety so you can fully engage in life.

This trauma is very, very painful and it can be a long process to healing. I use EMDR as a therapy tool to work through the trauma and diminish the heightened feelings and triggers abuse survivors experience.
