Is This You?
I UNDERSTAND. I HEAR YOU.
Trauma hurts us so deeply it is indescribable. It can be like having a ghost, personally tailored to reflect your darkest experiences. Everyone experiences hardship and can even be brutalized, but when the experience refuses to leave you, you have a hard time experiencing joy, are plagued by nightmares, or feel it so intensely that you get shaky, dizzy, or unable to swallow when you think about it, then it has become something that requires further treatment.
Trauma isn’t something that defines you, but if you try to ignore a trauma disorder then it can become something that grows to rule your life. It doesn’t have to. You can live, and thrive, in spite of your trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Trauma Therapy Like?
It depends a lot of the kind of treatment modality you choose to pursue with your therapist, but really it is singular and unique to each person. Sometimes it can be really emotionally exhausting and take significant time before someone feels ready to face really deep trauma. Sometimes people are ready and their brains are poised and it happens really quickly. There is no right or wrong, it is a journey that can be intense. It is important that you are comfortable with the therapist you choose to work on trauma processing with.
EMDR is a popular modality for trauma processing in the community right now. For more information, you can visit the specialty page. Many therapists are EMDR certified, but it is also not the only option for trauma processing so talk to your therapist to discuss options for trauma treatment with them.
Will There Be Recovered Memories?
Trauma is more about the experience that still exists in your body, and less about the specific memory. No one seeks to recover memories, and that science is shaky at best. Helping your body process the trauma and your brain write a new story are more important. If you have specific concerns, you can walk through them with your therapist.
