What Causes Trauma?
Trauma may stem from a clearly defined event as listed above, but it can also result from more subtle, ongoing emotional neglect or invalidation. Occasionally, we might see clients who don’t immediately recognize that they’ve experienced trauma. Regardless of the cause and when it happened, the effects of trauma linger in the form of anxiety, depression, panic, or difficulty trusting others. You may feel “off,” disconnected, or chronically overwhelmed without a clear reason. Emotional numbness, perfectionism, self-criticism, difficulty setting boundaries, or a fear of intimacy that sabotages your relationships are also potential signs of unresolved trauma. No matter where you are in the healing process, our team will meet you with compassion and move at a pace you feel comfortable.
Evidence-Based Trauma Recovery
Trauma therapy is designed to help you move through those symptoms and reconnect with your sense of self and stability. One of the most effective types of therapy for trauma recovery is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This evidence-based approach reduces the emotional charge of traumatic memories by allowing the brain to reprocess them. EMDR therapy is especially helpful for:
- PTSD and complex trauma
- Emotional or physical abuse
- Accidents or medical trauma
- Grief and sudden loss
- Anxiety rooted in past experiences
A trauma therapist will work with you to identify your triggers, build emotional regulation tools, and gently guide you through the reprocessing phases of therapy.
