Heal from Trauma

You’re on edge and can’t figure out how to unwind. It’s hard to trust others, regardless of the circumstance. You’re extra irritable and maybe it feels like numbing out is the only escape. It’s hard to concentrate and memories that you want to forget seem to intrude on your daily life. Sometimes you question if the memory even happened or you might blame yourself for it happening. You try to avoid reminders, but it’s tiring and you’re missing out on life. You might feel hopeless and feel a deep sense that something is wrong with you.

Any of this feel familiar? You might be suffering from trauma symptoms.

Maybe you’re thinking, ‘Wait, but I’m not a war veteran and other people have it way worse. The thing is, trauma is subjective. It’s based on each person’s unique nervous system responses to stressful events.

This can happen from a single event, such as a car accident or a sexual violation. It can also happen from a series of chronic exposures to a stressful or invalidating environment, resulting in complex trauma. Examples include: physical, verbal or sexual abuse, emotional or physical neglect, being chronically shamed, blamed or misunderstood, exposure to household members with untreated mental illness or substance abuse, exposure to domestic violence.

Through Sensorimotor Processing therapy, you can regain a sense of control over your life, achieve greater balance, improve your relationships, and increase self-compassion and self-confidence. 

Sensorimotor Processing (SP)

SP is a body-based trauma-focused therapy designed to help you heal from trauma. When an event is overwhelming, our nervous system kicks into survival mode i.e. fight, flight freeze. These survival responses can get “stuck” in our bodies and lead to trauma-related symptoms such as avoidance patterns, hypervigilance, flashbacks, nightmares, chronic low mood, numbing, chronic pain, and many other symptoms. This can live in our nervous system for years after the original event. SP helps your body to safely digest what has been stuck at a pace that works for you so that you can be free from trauma symptoms hijacking your life. Find out if SP is right for you through a free 30-minute consultation.
