Is trauma keeping you from living the life you dream of?

Do you have difficulty experiencing pleasure because you spend much of your time feeling numb, anxious, or just empty?

Maybe you’ve lost important relationships because you were almost always on edge, either withdrawing or losing your temper. Perhaps you experience mood swings of happiness, sadness, or anger. You may struggle with trusting others in relationships. Possibly, you feel guilty and shameful much of the time. Sometimes, it might feel like just going it alone would be easier.

Perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself, others, and life in general. You find yourself just going through the motions, doing what you think you must. Or you might live with tight shoulders and a nervous stomach, worried about when the other shoe is going to drop. Those worries may keep you awake at night or hinder your ability to thrive at work.

As a result, you may wonder what it would be like to trust others and build meaningful relationships. Perhaps you long to find fulfillment and experience more freedom in life. With trauma therapy, you can learn to make choices based on what brings peace and happiness, rather than on what feels “safe” from triggering memories or overwhelming fears.

Trauma is more common than you might expect.

Almost everyone deals with a traumatic experience at some point in their lives. According to the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, “70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives. That’s 223.4 million people.” This prevalence highlights the widespread impact of trauma and underscores the importance of seeking help when needed.

Whether you have experienced a significant trauma as an adult or the complex trauma of abuse or emotional neglect as a child, you may find yourself struggling with relationships or finding fulfillment in life. Trauma often leads to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD may show up a month or so after a traumatic event or sometimes not until years later. Symptoms may include intrusive memories, flashbacks, intense emotional reactions to triggers, and nightmares. You may find yourself avoiding any thought of the event or avoiding places, people, or activities that remind you of the trauma. Relationships may become challenging; you may be irritable or feel numb, easily startled, or frightened. You might engage in risky behaviors such as drinking too much or driving recklessly.

You may be struggling with the trauma of a car accident, natural disaster, or the loss of a loved one. Especially now, you may be challenged by the impact of wars around the world, political divisiveness, economic concerns, and more. Or maybe as a child, you were exposed to the complex trauma of abuse or emotional neglect. You may have been hit, bullied, or sexually abused. On the other hand, you may have suffered from the neglect of parents who were always at work, never had time for you, or had their own mental health problems. Or perhaps their demands on you to perform left you feeling that you could never be good enough.

Complex trauma, particularly from childhood neglect and abuse, can profoundly affect your sense of self and your ability to trust others. Early experiences of emotional neglect, physical or sexual abuse, and even bullying can create deep emotional scars. When parents are preoccupied, mentally ill, or place unrealistic demands on you, it can lead to feelings of perpetual inadequacy and chronic insecurity. These early traumas can shape how you view yourself and the world, making it difficult to form healthy relationships and achieve a sense of fulfillment.

Whatever trauma you have experienced, you are not alone! By working with a trauma therapist, you can begin to heal, building the life you dream of and developing deep, meaningful relationships.

Trauma treatment can help you begin to live your life fully!

Whether you have experienced a single significant trauma or complex trauma over an extended time in your family, trauma therapy can help. With a trained, compassionate, intuitive therapist, you can heal and create a fulfilling life with meaningful, trusting relationships and creative, adventurous experiences that fit the authentic you.

I understand the emotional pain that comes in the aftermath of traumatic experiences. I know that it is difficult to even consider asking for help, much less to follow through. So, I want to acknowledge your courage in looking for support. I am glad you are here!

My approach to therapy is gentle, allowing you to choose your pace, always starting where you are. Often, we attain our goals more quickly by slowing down, especially when working through such deep pain. I will take time to get to know you, where you have been, and where you would like to be, offering you room to know me as a therapist as well. During our sessions, you can share openly and freely. I provide a safe, judgment-free space where your background and experiences are welcome, respected, and honored.

We will discuss your concerns and experiences, honing in on specific challenges that are bothering you. Additionally, I can help you learn and use new coping skills and tools to manage stress and respond to experiences more effectively.

I have been working with trauma survivors since 2007, building a large toolkit to support you in your journey. I utilize many mindfulness skills, helping you to be present in the moment.

For some, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is effective in helping process the trauma itself. EMDR is a form of psychotherapy that can help you reduce the intensity of emotion and reactivity related to traumatic experiences. I am EMDR trained and bring the same gentle and attentive approach to this modality as I do to all of the work we do together.

Somatic therapies can also be beneficial, focusing on the connection between the mind and body. Techniques such as body awareness, breathwork, and gentle movement can help release stored trauma from the body, promoting overall healing. These therapies recognize that trauma often resides in the body, and addressing physical symptoms can be an important part of the healing process.

Often, creative therapies are helpful as well. Writing, collaging, drawing or other imaginative approaches can provide tremendous support in the healing process.

Over the years, I have worked with many individuals who, like you, have experienced terrible traumas and bravely committed to their healing. Many have built close friendships with people who are consistently there for them and with whom they enjoy fun, satisfying activities. Even romantic relationships have blossomed. Several have returned to school and embarked on careers that offer them a deep sense of purpose. In the words of one client, “I am in a space of happiness and freedom that I never could have imagined.”

You believe that trauma therapy can help you, but you may still have questions…

Will I have to relive the trauma? Will I fall apart if I do this?

Most important to me is that you feel safe in therapy. During trauma treatment, I am sensitive to your needs and offer space for you to feel comfortable expressing in the moment. I will never force you to do anything you do not feel ready for.

Your body has an innate ability to heal and, in a safe space, can release the stress it has been holding. Every person’s journey is unique, and healing can look many different ways. Sometimes, it can be as simple as feeling seen, heard, and validated. Other times, you may need to explore patterns of emotions and behaviors that are keeping you stuck. I will follow you in supporting your unique healing to unfold.

I am so busy! How will I ever have time for trauma therapy?

Counseling for trauma is an investment in yourself. You are worth that! You deserve to have the life you want. Setting aside time now can help you begin to fill the rest of your life with the experiences and relationships you dream of. Many of my clients even share that, because they become more focused on what’s important to them through therapy, they begin to have more free time in their lives.

How do I know if you are the therapist who is best for me?

I am so glad you are asking that question. Working with a trauma therapist who is a good fit for you is so important. You may have even tried therapy before but didn’t feel like the therapist understood you or the pain you were feeling. To do the deep healing work of trauma therapy, you need to trust the person you are sharing such personal information with, feel safe with them, and believe that they understand you. You can find out some things just by reading a therapist’s website, but you likely still want to know more before choosing to make an appointment. That’s why I encourage you to reach out to me at (561) 533-0948 for a 15-minute telephone consultation to ask me questions and explore whether I feel like the right fit for you.

You can find relief and healing from trauma

If you are ready to start trauma counseling, I invite you to schedule a 15-minute phone consultation at (561) 533-0948. And if you don’t feel a connection with me during our first session, that’s okay. I can offer suggestions for another colleague who may be a better fit for you. My priority is that you get what you need from your therapy experience.

How Does Trauma Shape Creative Expression?

Trauma can have a profound impact on a person’s life, influencing their emotions, behaviors, and even their creative output. While it often brings pain and distress, trauma can also serve as a powerful catalyst for artistic expression. In fact, many artists, writers, and musicians have channeled their traumatic experiences into their work, creating masterpieces that resonate deeply with others. Let’s learn more about the link between creative people and trauma, as well as how trauma can shape creative expression. The Connection Between Trauma and Creativity Creative expression can be a powerful and useful tool, especially when it comes to healing from trauma. Most of the time, trauma can be difficult to talk about. But creative endeavors can help people find an outlet for those negative feelings and experiences. But why do traumatic experiences actually make some people more creative? Turning Isolation Into Inspiration Isolation is often considered the birthplace of creativity. Spending time alone with your thoughts can help clear your mind, enhance clarity, and open you up to new ideas and perspectives beyond the norm. Many of the greatest creative minds found solitude or isolation in their upbringing. While excessive isolation can have its downsides, it can also allow you to delve deeply into your inner thoughts and imagination. Everyone has an imagination, but many people, especially as they grow older and take on added responsibilities, lose touch with it. Being put in an isolated environment can reopen those imaginative pathways. Narrative Reconstruction Most people have a certain idea of how the world works. There are learned beliefs, ideas, conceptions, and values that they hold with them. They learn or pick up on certain things that help mold and shape their ideas, beliefs, values, and overall lives. When a trauma occurs, it has the ability to upset these core values and beliefs. It can dismantle someone’s sense of self. Oddly enough, this shift can lead to becoming more creative, as some people are able to think outside of the box to reconstruct their story and make sense of their experience. By writing a memoir, composing a song, or creating visual art, people have been able to piece together fragmented memories and regain a sense of control over their narrative. Making Sense of Meaning Trauma often brings a whirlwind of intense emotions that can be difficult to process and sometimes, the only way they can be expressed is through art. Creative expression offers a safe and constructive way to release these emotions. Whether through painting, writing, music, or dance, the arts allow people to express feelings that might otherwise be kept down. It’s about more than turning pain into fuel for creativity, but allowing that creativity to be a source of healing. Engaging in creative activities can help people find a new sense of purpose by transforming their pain into something meaningful. Creating art can also provide a sense of accomplishment and a way to connect with others, offering validation and understanding from others who resonate with the art. How to Utilize Creative Expression for Healing from Trauma These are just a few of the different ways that creative expression can be used to heal from trauma: Coloring Dancing Drawing Painting Photography Poetry Role-play Sculpting Writing Music Next Steps Trauma, especially complex trauma that has its roots in childhood, is something that almost everyone in the world will experience at least once throughout their lifetime. It is difficult, raw, and emotional. It can change you and make you feel like a completely different person. But trauma can also bring on some strengths. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you tap into those strengths and use them to overcome your trauma. You can learn more about my approach to trauma therapy here. Then reach out today to set up a 20-minute phone consultation to see how I can help you on the path towards healing.

How Does EMDR Help Complicated Trauma?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach used to treat trauma-related disorders, including complicated trauma (sometimes called complex trauma). Complicated trauma can have long-lasting effects that impact your emotional regulation, sense of self, relationships, and overall well-being. It can lead to symptoms such as hypervigilance, dissociation, difficulty trusting others, struggles with intimacy, and challenges in managing emotions. The good news is, living with the effects of your trauma doesn’t have to be permanent. Let’s explore the benefits of EMDR for complicated trauma. What Is Complicated Trauma? First, it’s important to understand what complicated trauma is. Complicated trauma involves prolonged, repeated, and often interpersonal traumatic experiences, typically beginning in childhood and continuing over an extended period of time. Unlike single-event traumas, which might include natural disasters or horrific accidents, complicated trauma usually involves chronic, multiple stressors. Often, these stressors stem from relationships with caregivers or other significant individuals in your life where there’s an imbalance of power or trust. Examples of complicated trauma might include: Prolonged physical, emotional, or sexual abuse Neglect from caregivers or important figures Exposure to domestic violence Growing up in environments characterized by instability or severe dysfunction, such as substance abuse or mental illness in caregivers How EMDR Helps Complicated Trauma EMDR is based on the idea that traumatic experiences can become “stuck” in your brain’s memory network, leading to ongoing distress and interference in your daily life. These memories may be stored in fragmented or disorganized ways, making them difficult to process and move on from. EMDR can be particularly effective in addressing complicated trauma for several reasons. Targeting Specific Memories EMDR helps you identify and target specific traumatic memories or events that contribute to your overall trauma experience. During an EMDR session, your therapist guides you through a structured protocol that involves identifying specific memories or events that contribute to your overall trauma experience. These memories are often referred to as “targets.” By focusing on these memories one at a time, you can process and resolve them more effectively. Reprocessing Traumatic Memories EMDR involves bilateral stimulation, often side-to-side eye movements or tapping on alternating shoulders, which helps you engage in bilateral stimulation while recalling traumatic memories. This process is thought to mimic the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep, during which the brain processes and integrates information. Through this bilateral stimulation, EMDR enables you to reprocess of traumatic memories. This can reduce the emotional charge associated with these memories and shift how they are stored in the brain, ultimately making them less distressing over time. Addressing Negative Core Beliefs EMDR also aims to help you integrate traumatic memories into your overall life narrative in a way that minimizes distress and disruption. This can involve reframing beliefs about yourself and the world, as well as developing healthier coping mechanisms. omplicated trauma can lead to the development of negative core beliefs about yourself, such as “I am unlovable,” or “I am powerless.” EMDR can target these beliefs directly, helping you challenge and reframe them to create a more positive self-image. Enhanced Emotional Regulation Complicated trauma often leads to difficulties in regulating emotions, such as intense anger, fear, or shame. EMDR can help you develop more adaptive ways of managing these emotions, reducing the negative impact on your daily functioning. Next Steps EMDR offers a structured and evidence-based approach to treating complicated trauma by addressing its underlying components, supporting the processing and integration of traumatic memories, and promoting adaptive coping and emotional regulation skills. If you’re struggling with the effects of complicated trauma, you don’t have to face it alone. Therapy (and approaches like EMDR) offers a safe place for you to heal.

The Impact of Childhood Trauma Later In Life

Childhood is a time of innocence. It is a time of playfulness and carefree attitudes. As a child, your main goals are to have fun, make memories, and lay the groundwork for who you’ll become later in life. There shouldn’t be a care or worry in your world during those formative years. Unfortunately, life sometimes has other plans. When you experience trauma at a young age, it isn’t something that can be brushed under the rug and forgotten about. If that trauma goes unprocessed or unmanaged, there could be lasting effects that begin to appear later in the adult years. Here are some of the common ways trauma can present itself. Predisposition to Mental Health and Mood Disorders Trauma at any age can come with a heavy weight to carry. As a child, it can be a disastrous burden when you don’t have the emotional development or the proper tools to manage. You might be juggling feelings of hopelessness, despair, anger, fear, shame, or guilt. Any and all of these negatively charged emotions can build up and become a secondary issue. Not addressing your feelings can result in PTSD, anxiety, and/or depression. In some instances, suicidal ideation can occur. Generally, mental health or mood disorders don’t appear out of nowhere. If you’re experiencing your own version of a mood disorder, it is helpful to trace your systems to find the root cause. State of Hypervigilance After a trauma, your mind and body hold onto that experience and emotions. If you haven’t properly dealt with them, they will get tucked away somewhere in your subconscious until a later date and time. One emotion that it presents itself as is a fear state. Hypervigilance can be described as excessive fear, which causes you to constantly look over your shoulder. Your nervous system remains on overdrive, and your brain is always spinning. When you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, that can trigger those pent-up emotions, and your reaction may even surprise you. Often anxiety and/or panic attacks arise. You worry about things that aren’t that problematic and don’t deserve your energy and efforts. The fear finds a way to take control. Effects on Physical Health Stress resulting from a traumatic experience, especially one that occurred during childhood, takes a lot of time to find ways to take its toll on your body. Prolonged stress can exacerbate pre-existing medical conditions and can be a contributing factor for new ones. It isn’t uncommon to see stomach and gastrointestinal issues when dealing with a heavy stress load. Your nutrition and hydration can become disrupted, which has additional effects on bodily functioning. Stress can also reduce your immune system’s response to fighting off illnesses and ailments. Impact on Future Relationships Traumatic experiences oftentimes create deep and painful wounds. There may be a part of you that you perceive to be broken. That can take time to heal fully. Having experienced an abusive situation as a child can cause severe trust issues as an adult. You may tell yourself you are trusting of others, but your relationships may speak otherwise. Some relationships are easier than others. When intimacy is involved, it can bring up some old memories and cause problems with your partner. Carrying suppressed emotions can also lead to overly emotional responses during conversations or disagreements with your partner (or friends), fueling the situation further. Fighting or arguing with your partner is a fast track to an unhealthy relationship. You may also avoid relationships altogether, whether you realize it or not. Avoidant behavior can lead to loneliness and unhappiness. Being a survivor of a childhood trauma does not have to dictate your future. Contact me to learn more about options for your healing journey.

Common Ways You Feel Trauma in Your Body

Trauma isn’t easy. You know that it takes time to heal, to overcome, and to move forward again. But trauma isn’t just a battle that you’re fighting in your own head. It affects your body, too. Trauma is not just a figment of the mind; it is a narrative written deep within the very cells of our body. While we try to move on mentally, our bodies have their own way of keeping score. Often, trauma manifests itself in physical sensations, patterns of tension, or even chronic illnesses that can seem inexplicable. From the subtle tightening in your chest to chronic pain or fatigue, your body communicates distress signals long after the traumatic event has passed. Let’s learn more about some of the common ways you can feel trauma in your body. Changes in Breathing Patterns Typically, during a traumatic event, someone’s breathing pattern will change in one of two ways. For some, their breathing may quicken and even become short or shallow. This type of breathing mimics hyperventilation. Another variation in breathing patterns is freezing or holding a breath. This action can occur until the person feels like they’re going to pass out because they are trying to figure out how to respond to the trauma that occurred. During and after experiencing a traumatic event, your body can fall into fight or flight mode. Even after experiencing the trauma, it can take a while for your body and brain to believe that you are truly safe and out of danger. A traumatic event can actually stay with both your body and brain even after the trauma occurs and is done and over with. Changes in Heart Rate Similar to breathing patterns, the heart rate can also change due to experiencing trauma. The changes could include but aren’t limited to high blood pressure, hypertension, increased heart rate, or even decreased heart rate in some cases. Digestive Issues Digestive issues are common with mental health issues, especially when relating to trauma. There are many different signs or symptoms relating to stomach aches, pains, and digestive issues like diarrhea or intestinal cramping. After experiencing a traumatic event, it can be common to feel sick to your stomach with what just occurred. These feelings can linger long after the traumatic event has passed. Even certain sights, sounds, tastes, smells, or sounds may trigger digestive issues due to memories associated with the trauma. Tense Muscles Another common sign of trauma in the body is having tense or aching muscles. The body will naturally clench or tighten as a way to protect itself. Think about how you would respond if someone would throw a first or punch in your direction. You may freeze completely, or your body may do the work for you. Your hands may instinctively cover your face and your body may tighten all over getting ready to brace for impact. Next Steps Trauma isn’t something that happens and just goes away on its own. Trauma is something that must be dealt with in order to overcome it. You can’t just mark a date on the calendar hoping to be healed by then. The longer you push those feelings deep, down inside of yourself, the longer it will take to process the trauma. When you aren’t able to deal with the trauma at the moment, the trauma has nowhere else to go but to stay within your own body. This is why your brain and body hold onto a lot of the signs relating to the trauma. Overcoming a traumatic event takes time. All of the symptoms and challenges described here may be intensified with complex trauma. Complex trauma happens when there are multiple traumatic events, often beginning in childhood.

I’ll work with you to make sure you’re feeling comfortable and ready to work through all of the issues relating to your trauma. Don’t delay in getting the help you need and deserve.

6 Common Traits of Adult Children of Alcoholics

At least 20 percent of children are raised by a parent struggling with substance abuse. In more than half of those cases, they are children of alcoholics. Life is uncertain and unpredictable. It can also be frightening and violent. This, of course, can lead to trauma and typically has a long-term impact. Emotional needs are not met. Succeeding at school can feel impossible. You are neglected while being forced to take steps to keep your home life a secret. Clearly, substance abuse affects far more than the person struggling with addiction. And the outcomes can linger well into adulthood. Adult Children of Alcoholics: General Impact Children who grew up in homes with at least one alcoholic parent are more likely to: Be abused sexually and/or physically Experience learning delays and emotional disorders Develop Substance Abuse Disorder as an adult Struggle with interpersonal relationships as adults Develop unhealthy coping mechanisms Struggle with poor communication skills Develop low self-esteem Neglect basic self-care as children and adults Realities like these help contribute to these adults displaying common patterns and traits. 6 Common Traits of Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOAs) 1. Impulsivity This is a two-tiered trait. Firstly, ACOAs often make decisions before assigning much thought to the situation or the potential consequences. As a result, the second-tier trait is that they have to delegate a lot of time to clean up the mess they made. It’s as if they, as adults, are playing both the role of dysfunctional parent and codependent child. 2. Relationship Issues As counterintuitive as it seems, ACOAs frequently end up pursuing relationships with alcoholics or anyone struggling with an addiction. This phenomenon is believed to be due to their desire to feel needed. They know alcoholics require non-stop support, so they jump at the chance to deflect attention onto someone else. This reduces the likelihood that they’ll have time or energy to work on themselves. 3. Lack of Follow-Through Further feeding off the desire to keep the focus on others, ACOAs will notoriously drop the ball in their personal life. In their minds, they are too busy and overwhelmed taking care of everyone else. Ironically, this trait can make them as unreliable and unpredictable as their alcoholic parent. It is uncomfortable, yet familiar. 4. Difficulty Regulating Emotions A common example involves disproportionate reactions to outside changes. After spending their childhood dwelling in uncertainty, they have little or no tolerance for unexpected change. Their default setting is an extreme overreaction. 5. Seeking Approval While Offering Judgment Having dealt with a volatile parent leaves ACOAs ill-equipped to deal with even constructive criticism. So, they compensate with people-pleasing and approval-seeking. Below the surface, however, there is resentment and anger. They didn’t ask to have an alcoholic parent as a child. They also don’t enjoy groveling for acceptance as an adult. Therefore, an ACOA can be very judgmental of others — and themselves. 6. Isolation and Social Withdrawal It’s understandable why an ACOA would feel like no one “gets” them. They suffered through an unusual childhood and are often too ashamed to discuss it. Hence, isolation feels like the safest choice. They feel different from everyone else and fear the judgment that could come if their secrets were revealed. This choice eventually makes sure that no one “gets” them as the cycle continues. Help is Available Seeking out a professional therapist is a well-worn and proven path toward identifying and understanding the patterns in your life. When you work with an experienced counselor, you position yourself to reveal habits and discern root causes. This can empower you to find healthier choices as you move forward.

What Causes Attachment Trauma?

They say that the past makes you into the person you are today. Your positive and negative experiences will both have an impact on who you turn into as an adult. If your parents were both teachers, you might be more likely to become a teacher yourself. If your baked cookies or muffins with your grandma growing up, you may be more inclined to bake as a hobby or passion as an adult. Or maybe you were bitten by a dog when you were younger, and to this day, you’re slightly afraid of dogs. Positive and negative experiences can have a huge impact on the person you become. Your primary caregiver and your attachment to that primary caregiver can play a huge role. Let’s learn more about attachment trauma and what causes it. What Is Attachment Trauma? Attachment trauma is a type of trauma that can occur in children when growing up. An attachment is formed between the primary caregiver and a child. A child will learn the love and expectations set out by their primary caregiver. The trauma that can occur describes the disruption in the set standard of expectations between a child and their primary caregiver. Types of Attachment Patterns There are four different types of attachment patterns that can occur. One of these attachment styles is identified as a secure attachment style while the other three are known as insecure attachment styles. The four attachment styles are the following: Secure attachment style Anxious attachment style Avoidant attachment style Disorganized attachment style Attachment trauma occurs when a child experiences any of the three insecure attachment styles: Anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, and disorganized attachment. Children who experience insecure attachment styles in their youth are more likely to develop an insecure attachment style in their adulthood. The Signs and Symptoms Many adults who have attachment trauma will show signs of it within their own relationships. Relationships are a common area affected within the lives of individuals who experience a form of attachment trauma. Depending on the type of attachment trauma that occurred, individuals could become avoidant, overly attached, or even fearful of the relationships in their adult lives. These are some of the other most common signs and symptoms of attachment trauma: Anxiety Borderline personality disorder Depression Dissociating Enmeshment Guilt Hyperarousal Overly stressed Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Shame The Cause Attachment trauma is caused whenever there is a disruption in the relationship between a child and their primary caregiver. These are some of the most common causes of attachment trauma: Abandonment Death of a loved one Divorce Domestic violence Emotional abuse History of mental illness within the family Emotional or physical neglect Physical abuse Sexual trauma How to Move Forward Just because you’re facing some difficulties in your past and present relationships don’t mean that things can’t improve in the future. There is always room for improvement if you put in the time and effort. Your attachment trauma didn’t happen overnight, which means that change won’t happen overnight either. Luckily, there are things that you can do on your own end to move forward and build healthier and more positive relationships. Take the time to learn more about attachment styles and any signs or symptoms you may be experiencing. Once you learn more about it, try seeking a partner who shows signs of a secure attachment style. You can also work on your own end to improve communication with yourself and others. If you need additional support, try reaching out to a therapist. They’ll be able to work with you to learn more about your past in order to move forward.
