Are You Still Struggling to Feel Better When You Feel Overwhelmed?

Have you already seen medical professionals or therapists to help recover from an accident, injury, medical procedure, assault or childhood abuse, and you still don’t feel significantly better? Does it seem as though you are:

Anxious after recurring trauma nightmares?
Suffering from PTSD due to military actions or war?
Terrified that you will have yet another accident?
Overwhelmed with anxiety and don’t understand why?
Tired of swinging between angry outbursts and going numb?
Depressed because you feel like damaged goods after a trauma?
Exhausted from dealing with digestive problems, migraines, and chronic pain which medicines don’t seem to help?
Body-centered approach
Using a short-term natural therapy approach, I help you to understand and trust that your body knows exactly how to recover from a serious threat. By attending to body sensations as well as thoughts and feelings, trauma symptoms can significantly ease or go away.

As a result, you can:

Go into strange environments feeling more relaxed: you won’t worry about looking foolish by over reacting to a sound or someone’s comment.
Know you can return to a more normal work or school life and even have energy to take on new projects.

Have fewer angry outbursts, which scare family members away.

Stop reliving the memory of the trauma over and over.

Feel confident that you know if it’s ok for someone to touch you.

You are not the only one

How you are feeling is a very common way people respond to the stress of trauma. Many of my clients feel shame or judge themselves for not being able “to cope”. It is not unusual to hear them blame themselves for getting so upset over a “minor” accident. They feel stupid or “too sensitive” about having allowed something that happened long ago to still affect them. Many believe their life has spun out of control and they find it difficult to get on with their lives.
