Healing Trauma and PTSD

I’m anxious and on edge all the time. 

I have trouble trusting people and letting them in.

It’s so hard to be present and in the moment. My mind is elsewhere.

I keep getting into dangerous situations. I don’t trust myself anymore.

Trauma comes in many different forms.

Trauma can be a single, highly distressing event like an accident, assault, or loss of a loved one.

It can also be longer-term, repetitive experiences like neglect, critical parenting, discrimination, bullying, rejection, invalidation, or family conflict.

These and other traumatic experiences profoundly impact our health, relationships, and how we see the world.

Lack of trust.

Trauma enters our daily lives by affecting how we think, feel, and behave towards both ourselves and others.

We can have difficulty trusting or getting close to people.

Physical intimacy can be complicated and triggering for us. We may experience intrusive or disturbing thoughts or be perpetually on high alert.

Reactions to trauma.

Our emotions can be in a constant state of activation. We often try to avoid the discomfort by using escape strategies like substances, food, over-investment in work, and isolation.

Shame, self-blame, anger, and sadness – among other powerful and distressing emotions – are common reactions to trauma and endure long after the event or events.

Space to heal.

Many people feel a sense of dread when they think of talking about or processing their trauma but in reality, the therapy process is incredibly grounding and empowering.

Treatment is about helping you change your narrative, gain perspective, build confidence and trust in yourself, and move forward with newfound strength.

Trauma-focused therapy gives you skills to push beyond your fears and pain to feel whole and present in your life.

Trauma treatment that works.

Momentum Psychotherapy offers the most advanced, proven interventions for trauma and PTSD. We customize treatment protocols in collaboration with our patients. Our methods are based on their unique needs and goals, but there are some common themes in the treatments we use for trauma and PTSD.

Whether it’s Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, or Trauma-focused CBT,* themes center around changing problematic beliefs, developing coping skills, and gradually desensitizing to traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment.
