Trauma Treatment
Navigating the Terrain of Emotional Wounds with Compassion and Expertise
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or life-altering event, often leaving lasting psychological scars. It can manifest in various ways, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), flashbacks, emotional numbness, and even physical symptoms. At An Integrated Self, we recognize that trauma is a multifaceted experience, affecting both the mind and body.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Guided by the empathetic expertise of our primary therapist, Sunny Brown—who has firsthand experience overcoming challenges related to emotional well-being—we apply a range of specialized techniques to treat trauma:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
This method helps you process and make sense of traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and integrating them into a healthier mindset.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is utilized to alter negative thought patterns related to the trauma, helping you see your experience through a different lens.
Somatic Therapy Techniques
We employ body-based techniques to help you become aware of your physical responses to trauma, learning how to soothe and regulate your nervous system.
