Trauma Recovery

You may have tried therapy before and found that it either didn’t help enough or only helped to a certain extent, while you long to have deeper healing. The same things still seem to keep resurfacing, and you wonder if you will ever be able to break free from it all and feel “normal” again. This experience is common when you have a history of trauma because trauma is stored differently in our nervous system than typical memories are stored. Trauma-informed counseling can help with true trauma recovery.

Whether it is a large one-time event or the accumulation of single incidents that have added up over a lifetime, trauma hurts, and trauma recovery is possible. Trauma affects everything from how our nervous systems are wired, to the thoughts and perceptions we have, to our physical sensations, and our reactions to events and people.
