Trauma can make us feel disconnected from our bodies, emotions, people, and the world at large. We can feel either constant emotional overwhelm or numbness. This only perpetuates us feeling out-of-control and unable to make everyday decisions. Our relationships may be strained and we may feel hopeless on how to build healthier ones. All these symptoms plus more are common in individuals who have experienced recent or past traumas, including but not limited to, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual assault/rape, victims/witnesses of domestic violence, abandonment, emotional neglect, adult children of alcoholics, etc.
Restoring feelings of safety is at the forefront of trauma work. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with your emotions and thoughts and/or shut down and detached that your functioning and relationships are difficult to maintain, we can help by providing treatment for complex trauma/dissociation from a TriPhasic Approach. Phase I includes (re)stabilization, re(creating) safety, building a healthy attachment/therapeutic connection with your therapist, building regulation and co-regulation skills to assist in calming your nervous system, etc. We don’t enter into the trauma processing and memory work (Phase II) until these fundamental concepts/skills are addressed and built as rushing into trauma/memory work poses a high risk of retraumatization. Our priority and clinical skills lie in delivering treatment in a paced way to prevent any further impairment to your functioning.
All of our therapists utilize the TriPhasic Approach when working with clients with histories of childhood trauma, C-PTSD, and dissociation.
