Trauma Work

Trauma occurs when you are overwhelmed by events or circumstances that take place in your life. You may react with a typical fight, flight, freeze, or faun.

As a qualified trauma treatment practitioner, I use EMDR to help you process the trauma.

More About Trauma Work

"Trauma is hell on earth. Trauma resolved is a gift form the gods."

— Dr. Peter Levine, author of Waking the Tiger, et al.

  • Some symptoms of trauma include:

    • Emotional mood swings, anger and rage

    • Physical symptoms like headaches, backaches, stomach aches, sweating, heart palpitations and intestinal disorders

    • Being easily started or frightened by noises and touch

    • Changes in appetite, sleep and interest in sex

    • Nightmares and flashbacks

    • A lack of interest in family, friends, everyday activities, work

    • Difficulty trusting others, feeling betrayed

    • Survival guilt and shame

  • I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to treat many clients who have experienced trauma.

    I am a believer, as I have seen symptoms reduced by this treatment modality, and watch as clients improve by feeling lighter, more free, and unchained by what was weighing them down.

    To learn more about EMDR and how this powerful treatment can help you contact me.

  • Over 70% (223.4 million) of adults in the U.S. have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lifetime.

    As you can see from the numbers above, trauma can affect anyone.  No one is immune.  Trauma can stem from any of the following:

    • Childhood abuse or neglect

    • Physical, emotional or sexual abuse

    • Accidents and natural disasters

    • Grief and loss

    • Witnessing acts of violence

    • Medical interventions, illness, injury

    • War

    • Violence

    I encourage you to watch Dr. Peter Levine’s video on this page to learn more about the importance of Trauma Work.
