Have you experienced a disturbing life event? Many people experience distress in their lives following these traumatic life events which can lead to feeling either over-activated and reactive, or disconnected and detached. The body's natural ways of coping with stress are to activate by engaging the sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight/freeze), or to dis-engage through dissociation from the difficult situations or memories. Therapy can help clients to heal from these traumatic events and memories by experiencing lower levels of distress to triggering stimuli, and increased awareness of their present state having survived the event.
Therapists often utilize evidence-based approaches to working with clients who have experienced trauma including: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or AIR Network Therapy.
