Trauma
Traumatic experiences can impact your ability to live life to the fullest. Many individuals minimize their traumas by comparing their story to others and believing their pain is not justified. Others are often ashamed they do not have the willpower to overcome their fears, anxiety, lack of motivation and depressed mood. Traumatic experiences vary vastly but all are significant and deserve to be given recognition. Some traumatic experiences keep us from engaging in day-today activities like self-care, going to work and basic social interaction. Other traumas are no less painful but leave individuals drained from trying to keep up with life as they deal with their trauma. If you have experienced any kind of trauma, we can provide safe, caring and skilled treatment to provide support in resolving past pain and incorporating coping skills to better manage negative emotion in the present.

Rebecca often utilizes EMDR, which is a psychotherapeutic approach that targets past experiences that are connected to and triggered by present day events. EMDR incorporates positive experiences into therapy so individuals have more resources when future triggers occur allowing for less painful reactions. A Nutrition and Wellness Assessment may also be a helpful resource for you in caring for your body as you seek emotional healing.
