Trauma processing
Your trauma is unique to you. Your therapy should be too.
It's common for many of us to underestimate the impact of our past experiences, assuming that unless it was a major, life-altering event, it couldn't possibly be traumatic. But the truth is, trauma can manifest in various forms - big and small, short and long-lasting.
Trauma doesn't just affect our minds; it reverberates through our bodies, emotions, and spirits, creating a complex web of distress. To truly heal from trauma, it's essential to address all aspects of ourselves that have been wounded.
By embracing a holistic approach to healing, we can begin to unravel the layers of our trauma, nurture our minds, bodies, emotions, and spirits, and pave the way for a future filled with authenticity and fulfillment.
There are 3 main types of trauma...
ACUTE TRAUMA
Acute trauma often refers to a single incident or event that was traumatizing.
CHRONIC TRAUMA
Trauma that was prolonged in nature, or repeated over various events.
COMPLEX TRAUMA
Trauma that was repeated, prolonged, or tied to various traumatic events.
Trauma is not what happens to you, it’s what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you— Gabor maté
