Trauma Healing
Beneath many challenges and difficulties are traumatic experiences. Depending on the impact of these events the damaging effects may be evident immediately or perhaps not show up for years. They may even surface when your coping strategies have broken down or even become unmanageable in and of themselves.
Trauma happens in a number of different ways. It can come from childhood experiences like losing a parent, neglect, abuse (physical or sexual), bullying or witnessing domestic violence. It may also come from adult experiences by way of relationship injuries or life changing events (such as death, divorce, sexual violence or emotional abuse). Either way, traumatic experiences affect us in a way that changes us. It impacts how we feel about ourselves and how we interpret the world around us. The effects of trauma can be debilitating at times, however, you can heal from the emotional wounds of trauma with time and appropriate support.
We offer a variety of trauma therapies at Arizona Connection Counseling, including EMDR, a technique which allows the brain to reprogram painful events. Trauma may also get stored in our bodies causing a variety of physical symptoms\. We also have therapists trained in specialized methods such as Somatic Experience (SE) and Trauma Release Therapy (TRE) that help the body release the trauma leading to significant if not complete reduction in symptoms.
