Trauma

Trauma is a big term. To some extent, most of us are familiar with the term and have a basic understanding of what it entails. Trauma can result from a single event or series of ongoing experiences. We are all impacted by trauma in different ways, and how we process it also varies. One of the most important things to note about trauma is that we can’t decide not to be impacted by it; however, we can decide how we relate to the trauma(s) we’ve experienced.

Here at At Peace Therapy, we primarily focus on childhood trauma, childhood abuse, attachment/relational and developmental trauma.

What might our trauma work entail?

• Creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for you and what happened to you.

• Creating a holding environment for your trauma and a space to start processing your experiences.

• Increasing awareness and understanding of trauma and its impacts on your mind and body.

• Increasing understanding of what it means to be triggered, and how to manage your triggers.

• Increasing your ability to utilize coping skills.

• Identifying your individual needs within trauma work.
