Many people perceive trauma as limited to extreme experiences such as war, sexual assault, car accidents, and similar events. However, chronic neglect, abuse, bullying, or any other experience - whether a single event or pattern of treatment - also constitutes trauma. A question to ask yourself is, "Did what happen to me negatively change the way I view myself and the way I interact in the world?"

​

It's hard to make lasting changes if you don't really understand why you get in your own way - where it started and why it started. So, of course, many well-intended people make great effort toward change that doesn't last because they stay on the surface of the problem. You can get relief from trauma and the peace you want.

I use methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting in addition to more traditional talk therapy. To learn more about EMDR, click the button here:
