You might have difficulty focusing on your tasks, have intense flashbacks, or just feel irritable and disconnected from those around you. You might feel unsafe in your own body, and want to get to a place where you feel at home again. 

Trauma can come from the subtle messages you absorbed in childhood, bullying, abuse, sexual assault, or it can be from global events like COVID-19 that completely alter the way you view yourself and the world around you. You could have generational trauma, family of origin trauma, or PTSD. Your trauma is unique to you and your experiences, and is valid no matter what the circumstances or severity. 

Symptoms of trauma:

• Traumatic flashbacks
• Avoidance of places or people
• Trouble sleeping
• Difficulty focusing 
• Intense mood swings
• Irritability
• Being easily startled
• Numbness

Integrative Counsel’s Approach to Trauma Treatment

Trauma treatment is an individualized and collaborative process that looks different for everyone. It can be uniquely healing and transformative for each person. You will  start by working with your therapist to learn where you are stuck, and set goals that will help you get from where you are to where you want to be. Together, with your therapist, you will build a toolbox of coping skills and self regulation techniques that will help you safely dive into the root of your trauma. Through that process, you will be able to work with your counselor to build a map to your nervous system, tailored to your personality and what you gravitate toward, that will help you build a relationship between the mind and the body.
