PTSD/Trauma
The Art of Rest
Life Coach, M.S. Psychology
Dagny is trained as a research psychologist who spent four years studying the biomedical markers of sleep, mindfulness, and self-compassion —all from the lens of the stress-response and nervous system lens. In this training, Trauma and PTSD are two major compenets Dagny is passionate about. Additionally, Dagny understands the ins and outs of what trauma and PTSD do to the human experience and finds a compassionate way forward. When addressing trauma and PTSD Dagny helps teach and guide on how stress impacts our body, and what to do when things like sleep become elusive, social problems become larger, and anxiety or depression creep in the backdoor. Her tactics range from state-of-the-art stress science that helps pull out different elements of stress-health as well as dives into contemplative practices like dreamwork and behavioral routines around stress and sleep-related anxiety. She is highly successful at helping folks find a restful night and restful life, regardless of how long it's been since they've had one.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trauma can shape how you see yourself, relate to others, and experience safety in the world. I work with adults navigating complex, developmental, relational, medical, racial, and other forms of trauma. My trauma-informed approach helps clients better understand adaptive survival responses, strengthen emotional resilience, and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe and collaborative.

Karen Hammack
Psychologist, Ph.D.
After 17 years as a clinical psychologist, I can safely say most people have experienced some sort of trauma in life. As a result - it is vital that we approach these difficult experiences and process them, using evidence based trauma treatments such as Cognitive Processing Therapy. Through such therapies, healing can occur.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.
