Trauma
Have You Been Feeling Tense, Anxious, or Overwhelmed?
You might feel jumpy and on edge – like you can’t let down your guard.
Maybe you’re tired of repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns over and over.
Or, you might have realized that you’ve been taking care of everyone in your life but yourself.
If you’ve experienced terrible events, don’t let it affect you for the rest of your life. Reach out now for help to battle your trauma.
Trauma Can Cause Many Uncomfortable Feelings to Arise
Feeling overwhelmed, tense, anxious, disconnected from your body, problems trusting too quickly or not at all, being stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, physical problems-stomach issues, headaches, muscle tension, sleep problems, flashbacks of traumatic events, and more can all be common reactions to trauma.
While these feelings are unwanted and often difficult to deal with, they are all very normal reactions to experiencing a traumatic event.
The good news, however, is that with the help of a compassionate, experienced trauma therapist, you can overcome these uncomfortable feelings.
The experience of trauma is unique and individual.
Dealing with the aftermath of a terrible event can be difficult to handle, no matter what type of experience you went through. Some people begin to question if what they experienced was really a traumatic event.
It is about your own emotional experience – you get to decide if an event was traumatic for you.
Sometimes this could be a single event like a car accident, sexual assault, or death of a loved one. Or, you may have experienced a long-term pattern like child abuse, a chaotic family, or domestic abuse. This pattern of events over time is called complex trauma.
Other traumatic experiences include: Physical or sexual abuse or assault, childhood abuse, childhood neglect, chaotic childhood, witnessing domestic violence, bullying, witnessing violence, natural disasters, divorce, serious accidents or injuries, emotional abuse, unexpected loss of a loved one, traumatic pet loss, military or combat stress, & any other event that you experienced as traumatic.
No matter what you’ve experienced, we can help you with your trauma.

You May Still Have Some Questions or Concerns About Trauma Therapy
How will trauma therapy really help me?
In trauma treatment we look at long-standing patterns and beliefs which may be effecting you. We can’t change your past, but we can change how it influences you today.
From a Christian perspective, therapy around trauma often involves working through some of the simple “whys” that exist — “Why did God let this happen? Why am I feeling this way?”
These are complicated questions, but therapy is a place where these can be wrestled with. As you began to heal, you can begin to feel God’s grace and comprehend what salvation and redemption can truly be.
I think I need help, but I’ve heard that Trauma Therapy can be expensive.
Trauma Therapy is an investment in yourself and your future. By reconnecting with yourself and progressing down the road to recovery, you can significantly reduce symptoms of trauma.
Additionally, taking time to work on yourself can help you improve your relationships and overall mental health, as well as your relationship with God.
