Trauma impacts each individual in unique ways. This can include influencing the types of relationships we may gravitate towards, our sense of self, sense of safety, physical health, and emotional well-being. I strongly value and encourage each individual's right to choice; choosing if, how, and when they share their story. Therapy can support you with skills development to manage/reduce the intensity of the distress associated with the traumatic event(s), identify possible triggers, share your trauma narrative on your terms, identify underlying emotions, find meaning, separate your sense of identity from the experience, and ultimately experience reduction or complete cessation of trauma related symptoms.
