About
Trauma is linked to anxiety, depression, and relationship problems (Bessel, 2021). We tend to think that trauma only happens to war veterans or victims of assault. However, being raised in an unpredictable home, difficult relationship with parents, or exposed to stress etc. can have a life-long impact. People can feel hesitant about seeking treatment for trauma because it can open a door to feeling overwhelmed. However, this is not the case with the therapy I provide, Somatic Experiencing, a therapy that takes years to be trained on. You probably have tried therapy in the past but continue to feel stuck, anxious, or depressed. Trauma therapy is not about understanding what happened; in fact, talking about it can be retraumatizing (Bessel 2020). Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk is a world-renowned trauma researcher and author of “The Body Keeps the Score,” a New York Times bestseller for years. Symptoms can be dormant. When stressed, people respond with anxiety, irritability, or depression. This can lead one to feel isolated, hopeless, and disconnected. I'm also trained psychodynamically and work with children as well. Some of the patients I have worked with have shared their experiences on Google reviews (Terra Counseling). This may be helpful.
