    Trauma

    It’s never too late to be who you were meant to be”

    ~ George Eliot

    Trauma can be caused by a variety of experiences.  More typical traumatic events include:  rape, sexual abuse, physical abuse, war, and natural disasters.  However many of the clients I work with have unique traumatic experiences as well, including: neglect, poverty, living in families with addictions or mental illness, medical trauma, and other overwhelming events.

    We can’t define trauma simply in terms of event magnitude.  Trauma is relative, and conveys a subjective sense of “I am doomed”.

    Trauma survivors remember with their symptoms, and these symptoms are what often bring them to treatment…

     

    Trauma survivors are 6 times more likely to experience Major Depression and they are 3-6 times more likely to experience one type of anxiety or another.  As uncomfortable and frustrating as these symptoms are, they help you survive.  You and I will seek a better understanding of your symptoms and help you to heal and move forward.

    As a Board Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional – Level 2, I’ve been helping people survive and thrive for over 25 years.

    Call me today  (716-204-5552 x 406) to get started in your healing.
