Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-Informed Therapy is a specific approach to therapy that recognizes and emphasizes understanding how traumatic experience impacts mental, behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. This type of therapy is rooted in understanding the connection between the trauma experience and emotional and behavioral responses. The purpose of trauma-informed therapy is to offer skills and strategies to assist you in better understanding, coping with, processing emotions and memories tied to traumatic experiences. The end goal is to help you to create a healthier and more adaptive meaning of the experience that took place in your life.
As a person progresses through life, his or her energy patterns and eventually body, shift to accommodate to the surrounding emotional environment. The woundings we experience or perceive, physically, verbally or non-verbally, enter into our system and change who we are and how we show up in the world. As tensions build in the subtle energy body, tensions also build in the physical body. Posture, movement and breath metamorphose into constricted and secondary versions of our healthiest and highest potential. The body reflects your physiological, emotional and psychological history in its shape, texture and movements. Body patterns can be approached as doorways to information. An integrative approach of body and energy psychotherapies can help shift limiting or dysfunctional patterns by creating new neural pathways via increased movement patterns as well as increased physical and emotional expression.
