Hope for when the unthinkable happens
Therapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
IN CALIFORNIA AND ILLINOIS
Life can change in an instant.
Deep down, you know you are more than what happened to you.
The shock of a single traumatic incident has sent shockwaves through your entire life, leaving scars that run deep. You might find yourself haunted by nightmares, grappling with anxiety, or feeling a sense of disconnection from the world around you. It's as if the world you once knew has shattered into a million pieces.
You want to breathe deeply again and feel a sense of calm and inner peace.
You long to drift off to sleep at night easily and wake up feeling refreshed, with a clear mind and a sense of security.
You're ready to step out of your bubble and embrace the world around you.
You're tired of missing out on meaningful connections with others. You want to laugh, share stories, and feel a sense of belonging.
Rediscover your inner strength using the body's natural healing cycle.
Somatic Therapy helps individuals heal from trauma by focusing on the body's natural ability to process and recover. It recognizes that traumatic experiences can get "stuck" in the body, leading to ongoing difficulties.
During a Somatic Experiencing session, I will guide you to become more aware of your body sensations. I may ask you to notice things like tension, tightness, or other physical feelings that arise when you think about the traumatic event.
I use gentle techniques like breathing exercises or simple movements to help you release any stored tension or stress from the trauma.
By paying attention to your body's responses and allowing yourself to fully feel and express what's happening, you are gradually process the trauma. This process allows the body to complete its natural healing cycle and release the lingering effects of the traumatic experience.
Somatic Therapy is like giving your body a chance to heal itself. It helps you listen to what your body is saying about the trauma and supports you in releasing any physical or emotional tension that may be held in your body.
Through Somatic Experiencing, you can learn to restore a sense of safety, regulate your nervous system, and create new patterns of resilience and well-being.
Live life on your terms again.
