Trauma and PTSD
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Everyone has trauma. It's part of being alive. And some trauma events can be particularly intense and leave us feeling unsafe in the world. The environment we grew up in, if particularly abusive and dysfunctional, can also be traumatic and cause us to feel unsafe in the world. Trauma shows up in our nervous system responses to people and situations, like being excessively wary and on high alert.
We work to regulate your nervous system, to give it safe resting places and experiences of relaxation. We also work with the underlying trauma itself in a very slow, resourcing way.

Ari Goldberger
Psychologist, Bachelor Of Science (Psychology), Post Graduate Diploma of Psychology, Masters of Psychology (Counselling)
All mental health issues, be it depression, anxiety or personality disorders comes from trauma "stuck" in the subconscious mind, whether one realizes it or not. A somatic approach to therapy is necessary to identify this trauma in the body and look to heal it by transcending the egoic rationalization that is holding the trauma in place. (i.e. fear of being vulnerable, self-pity, victimhood, need acceptance from others, vindication against others etc.)
