If you've ever worked with us, chances are you've heard us say, "We'll treat the trauma and then we'll see what's left". What do we mean when we say this? Not everyone comes into therapy identifying a history of traumatic experiences, but being a trauma informed agency means that we can help identify negative life experiences that may have changed the way you view yourself, others, or the world around you. Those altered views may be impacting how you cope with stress, how you engage in relationships, your self-worth and contribute to other mental health symptoms.

Treating the trauma means treating the root of the discomfort. We can't go back in time and change a terrible experience to a positive one, but we can help desensitize the body and the brain to the experience so they aren't constantly firing distress signals. After we've effectively treated the trauma, we evaluate for any other symptoms that might still be present. If symptoms are identified, we work collaboratively with clients to identify what evidenced based treatment strategies may work best to treat those additional symptoms.

And if treating the trauma feels too overwhelming? We'll meet you where you're at.

Healing often begins in ways that aren’t dramatic. You may notice any of these improvements, or it may show up differently for you. The key is that you’re not overlooking all the big and small ways you’re improving. ❤️

Did you know changing the way you view stress can reduce the negative side effects it may be having on your health?
According to the Mayo Clinic, common effects of stress on your body look like:
Headaches, muscle tension or pain, chest pain, fatigue, change in s*x drive, stomach upset and sleep problems.
To reverse the negative side effects of stress, you can try two simple things:
First- Try reminding yourself that your stress response is your body's attempt to protect you from potentially harmful situations. If that doesn't work, try practicing a "Growth Mindset". A growth mindset is all about changing the way we look at difficult situations and problems. Learning to say, "I haven't figured out how to balance my budget yet, but I need to be patient with myself" instead of, "I never have any money, I'm always broke!" isn't going to fix everything right away, but small consistent changes overtime will improve how you perceive stress and stressful situations.

We wish healing was as easy as flipping a switch, but symptoms don’t typically vanish overnight. Instead, it can be helpful to imagine a dimmer switch.

Each session, we dial down the intensity of the anger, or the frequency of the anxiety, or the duration of the sad spells. Slowly, we begin to notice that light isn’t so bright anymore.💡
