Do you ever wonder why you just can't shake the past?
Disturbing events can result in the feeling of ongoing danger. You may get anxious, proceed with caution, and even isolate from those around you. While the logical part of your brain might say, "The event has passed, you're OK now," the emotional part can refuse to believe it. This is because trauma memories are processed differently than normal memories. Since the brain stores trauma in a way that gets in the way healthy healing, you might struggle to feel at ease.
What if trauma didn't have to hold you back from living your life?
It is possible to work through your past without going back to it. Trauma has a strange way of showing up in the present. Because trauma impacts our nervous system, you might notice a shift in physical symptoms. It is common to feel tense, a lack of grounding, or a disconnect from yourself. As your therapist, I can guide you in using self-regulation skills and reestablishing your sense of safety.
"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it."
