You are not what’s happened to you.

Trauma Therapy for Adult Women in Waco, Texas.

What you’ve been through doesn’t have to run your life. With the right support, it’s possible to feel calmer, safer, and more like yourself again.

Imagine something sudden or upsetting happening in your life. Something that shakes up your world and leaves you feeling off balance. Maybe it was a serious accident, losing someone you loved, witnessing something frightening, or even repeated smaller experiences that leave you feeling drained or unsafe over time. Trauma doesn’t always come from one huge event. It can build from the small, painful moments that keep piling up until they feel impossible to handle.

It’s normal to feel jumpy, have nightmares, or keep replaying these events in your mind. Some days just getting out of bed feels like a huge effort. Other days you’ll notice small steps forward, and some days it might feel like you’re back where you started. No matter what, you’re beginning to see how much this experience big or small has affected your daily life. That doesn’t mean you’re weak. You’re stronger than you realize.

You don’t have to carry this alone. We can work on it together, at a pace that feels safe and supportive, so you can start feeling steadier, calmer, and more like yourself again.

Helping you feel more like yourself again.

Frequently asked questions about trauma therapy

FAQs

  • Trauma can be anything that left you feeling unsafe, unsupported, or alone. It doesn’t have to be one big event. It can be everyday happenings that make you feel emotionally or physically unsafe. A few types of trauma can be:

    ·       accidents, assaults, sudden losses

    ·       ongoing emotional neglect,

    ·       troubling relational patterns from caregivers or partners

    ·       childhood emotional wounds

    ·       medical events

  • Trauma isn’t just about the event itself, it’s about how your mind and body were impacted by something overwhelming, scary, or deeply stressful. Many people have trauma without ever realizing it, because it often shows up in subtle everyday patterns.

    You might notice signs of trauma if:

    • You feel “on edge” or hyper-alert a lot

    • You avoid certain people, places, or memories

    • Your emotional reactions feel bigger than the situation

    • You sometimes feel disconnected, numb, or shut down

    You don’t need to have all of this to be impacted by trauma. Many people don’t realize what they went through was traumatic until years later. If you see yourself in some of these signs, just know that healing is possible.

  • I use a technique called EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to help process painful memories. This involves a series of eye movements that are thought to help the brain file the memory in the right place in your brain. It’s not hypnosis and doesn’t take the memory away, but it does take the sting out of the memory.

  • The first step is to call for a free 15 minute consultation. You can ask me all the things to make sure we are a good fit. Then, we will meet weekly to discuss what is troubling you and make a plan forward for how to get you back to living life well.

Taking the first step can feel scary, but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to support you as you start feeling calmer and more like yourself.
