Trauma Therapy in Texas & California

Discover hope after trauma

You feel lost in the sea emotions.

Trauma spans a spectrum of experiences that surpasses your ability to cope, ranging from isolated events like sexual assault to chronic situations such as emotional abuse or neglect throughout childhood. Left unprocessed, trauma can impact all areas of your life, including both your mental and physical health as well as how you show up (or don’t) in your relationships. Trauma can leave you with self-doubt, fear, and building walls around you in order to protect yourself from further hurt. Or, it can fog your judgement, causing you to drift into dangerous situations or relationships.

Trauma can be a deeply troubling experience, whether you’ve been through an accident, abuse, toxic workplaces or relationships, family of origin issues, the victim of narcissism, or even illness or medical trauma. The good news is that with the right help, you can heal from trauma.

You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:

  • Intense fear, anxiety or panic

  • Confusion about what happened to you and why someone you love would hurt you

  • Challenges in setting boundaries or navigating relationships

  • Engagement in people-pleasing

  • Feelings of shame or embarrassment

  • Sleep problems

  • Difficulty trusting yourself or others

  • Intrusive thoughts or memories

  • Perfectionism

  • Avoidance of things or places you once enjoyed

Types of Trauma

  • Experiencing a traumatic event related to accidents can have a profound emotional impact on you. Accidents cover a wide range, from car crashes and workplace incidents to unexpected events like natural disasters. For instance, surviving a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or earthquake, not only poses physical dangers but can also leave enduring emotional scars. The aftermath, including property loss and the disruption of daily life, can trigger anxiety and stress.

    Understanding and addressing the psychological repercussions of such accidents through therapy is crucial for you to navigate the healing process, rebuilding emotional resilience and finding a renewed sense of stability in the face of these challenging events.

  • Surviving assault or abuse is a deeply distressing experience that can have profound and lasting effects on you. This includes physical violence, sexual assault, emotional abuse, and other forms of mistreatment.

    The impact of such traumatic events extends beyond the immediate physical harm and can manifest in emotional, psychological, and even long-term physical consequences. You may grapple with feelings of fear, shame, and a pervasive sense of vulnerability. Trust issues, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are common results, impacting your ability to fully engage in relationships or sometimes even navigate daily life.

    Seeking therapy is a crucial step in addressing the aftermath of assault or abuse, offering a supportive space to process the trauma, rebuild a sense of safety, and regain control over your life.

  • Encountering a traumatic event related to medical or health issues can profoundly impact you emotionally. Such traumas may include serious illnesses, surgeries, medical emergencies, or the experience of chronic pain. Facing a life-altering diagnosis, like cancer or chronic health issues, not only introduces physical challenges but can also induce anxiety and fear about the future.

    Medical procedures, such as surgeries or emergency interventions, may lead to both physical and emotional distress. Additionally, chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia or persistent back pain, can significantly impact your daily life, triggering feelings of frustration, helplessness, and emotional exhaustion.

    Therapy provides a space to process the emotional toll, manage anxiety, and rebuild a sense of control and optimism about your health and future well-being.

  • Navigating narcissistic abuse is like weathering a relentless storm of manipulation and emotional upheaval. It's dealing with someone who's mastered the art of putting themselves first, at your expense and that of others.

    These relationships leave you feeling consistently overshadowed and deeply questioning your own reality. It's an exhausting rollercoaster of highs and lows, where their love for you feels conditional, and your self-esteem takes a relentless hit. These relationships often leave survivors filled with shame and confusion. But with help, you can recover.

  • Relational trauma typically emerges in connections with individuals you once trusted to provide care and ensure your safety. This could, for example, be at the hands of an emotionally immature parent.

    Often initiated by caregivers or parents, it can also arise in the context of romantic relationships. This cumulative series of intertwined experiences significantly influences how you form connections with both yourself and others.

    Furthermore, it acts as a foundational blueprint shaping all subsequent relationships in your life. By addressing this type of trauma, you can change not only your relationship with your self, but your connection to others too.
