Frequently Asked Questions

What does trauma therapy do?

Trauma therapy helps you process distressing or traumatic experiences — whether a single event or years of accumulated "little t" stress — so they stop running the show in your daily life. It's not about reliving what happened, but reprocessing it so it no longer holds the same grip.

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and helping you move toward healing.

How do you release trauma from your body?

Trauma isn't just stored in the mind — it lives in the body too. Somatic techniques, alongside EMDR, help release that stored tension through body awareness, grounding practices, and gentle nervous system regulation.

What is PTSD?

PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, with symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and intrusive thoughts. Effective treatment, like EMDR, can significantly reduce these symptoms.
