Trauma/PTSD/Sexual Abuse
If you have been raped, beaten, shot, or experienced any kind of traumatic experience, your world may have become a dangerous, unpredictable place. Sexual abuse, trauma, and its aftermath - post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - can turn your life upside down. You never know when you might have flashbacks, wake with nightmares or cold sweat, obsess about something without knowing why, or suddenly become hyper-vigilant or immobilized by terror.
It can be hard to live in peace when it feels as if the floor can drop out at any moment. Childhood trauma or sexual abuse at the hand of a parent or trusted adult can make you suspect adult relationships because the same person you relied on to keep you safe is the person who betrayed your trust. Picking up the pieces of your shattered world seems overwhelming and arduous.
Therapy offers a number of powerful ways of working with the mind and body without touch to help you find the relief and resolution you seek. Trauma gets stored in the body as a sort of energy. Skilled trauma therapists can help you work at your own pace to release this energy. Your therapist can help you understand how you had to organize your life to cope with what happened to you, help you begin to form new foundations of trust, and support you as you move forward to reclaim your body and your self.
