Trauma Transformation Therapy

In this safe space, your courage is acknowledged by taking this crucial step towards your personal healing. It may be your first attempt to recover from trauma or one in a long line of attempts to feel more whole and at peace.

Often, people do not realize how far-reaching trauma can be and how it impacts our nervous system, our sense of self, our lives, our relationships, and our communities. In fact, many people do not even recognize their struggles in life as being a result of trauma. The good news is that you do not have to suffer alone — trauma can be resolved.

You can heal. We can help.

What is Trauma?

Basically, any event or experience that overwhelms one’s capacity to cope and that continues to be held in the body without the support and presence of an empathic and attuned person.

It is our internal experience, as a result of an overwhelming event, and not the event itself that may lead to someone becoming traumatized.

Examples of traumatic types of events may include but are not limited to:

any act of violence and/or abuse towards any person of a physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, financial, and/or neglectful nature
sexual assault or harassment
sudden loss
surgeries, medical procedures, medical conditions, chronic illness
falls, injuries, accidents
birth trauma, attachment disruptions/ruptures
natural disasters
war, moral injury, terrorism, displacement
bullying, racism, discrimination, colonization, oppression
intergenerational traumas
witnessing any event that overwhelmed your capacity to cope

You have the innate ability to heal from trauma.

But you are not meant to do it alone.
