trauma

"The body keeps the score."

– Bessel A. van der Kolk

Tell tail signs of a traumatic response show as sudden reactions to things that resemble an unbearable time from your past. Trauma occurs to the body’s limbic system creating symptoms like flashbacks, agitation, sudden rage, disconnection, and numbing. It can make you more prone to addictions.

My training and experience can help to understand how trauma is impacting your life and recommend next steps.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is an effective treatment for those who have experienced trauma. It involves building 4 key skill areas: distress tolerance, emotion regulation, core mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.
