Trauma and PTSD therapists in Appleton, Wisconsin WI
Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco
Psychologist, PhD
I am very sensitive to person's trauma and making therapy a "safe spot" for them. In addition, we work together to help understand the effects of the trauma on your life and on your relationships. People with trauma also confuse those around them, and it is not their fault. The trauma is like a bucket of ice water, and it splashes up and hits you and your relationships. I'll help you learn to carry that ice-bucket together and start to melt the ice. We have many ways in psychology to address trauma, and together we will explore the interventions that are intune with you. Trauma is not always only in your "brain/head". Your body can hold trauma in many ways that can confuse you (especially regarding intimacy), including ways that are bound to confuse your mate. I'd love to help you overcome it! Schema Therapy uses tools that are very safe and tested, including building up your strength resources and learning how to soothe/calm activation of bad memories. I hope and pray you reach out to a therapist and invest in yourself to overcome whatever you have gone through.

When we experience trauma ( a distressing experience), our minds and our bodies are trying their best to just survive every day. When our trauma is not processed and healed, it shows up in our lives and can look like: overwhelm, flashbacks, anger, troubles sleeping, difficulties with concentration, and feeling out of touch with your body. Wildflower Mental Wellness can help support you by processing your trauma to help you reduce your PTSD symptoms.

This method aims to foster resilience, promote recovery, and rebuild a sense of safety and trust in oneself and the world.
