Understanding Trauma
Trauma is your body and mind's natural response to overwhelming experiences. Understanding what you're going through is the first step toward healing.
What Is Trauma?
Trauma occurs when we experience or witness events that overwhelm our ability to cope...
Trauma occurs when we experience or witness events that overwhelm our ability to cope. It's not about what happened to you, but how your nervous system responded to protect you.
Common Traumatic Events: • Accidents or natural disasters • Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse • Loss of a loved one • Medical procedures or illness • Violence or crime • Childhood neglect or instability • Military combat or war • Workplace incidents
Remember: Your response to trauma is normal and adaptive. Your nervous system was doing its best to protect you.
Types of Trauma
Trauma can be acute (single incident), complex (repeated), or developmental (childhood)...
Acute Trauma: Results from a single incident like an accident, assault, or natural disaster.
Complex Trauma: Results from repeated, prolonged traumatic experiences, often in childhood or abusive relationships.
Developmental Trauma: Occurs during critical developmental periods, affecting how we form relationships and see the world.
Intergenerational Trauma: Trauma effects passed down through families and communities across generations.
Common Responses
Trauma affects everyone differently. Your responses are normal protective mechanisms...
Trauma affects everyone differently. Your responses are normal protective mechanisms your body developed to keep you safe.
Emotional Responses: • Fear, anxiety, or panic attacks • Depression or numbness • Anger or irritability • Guilt, shame, or self-blame • Emotional overwhelm
Physical Responses: • Sleep problems or nightmares • Headaches or body aches • Digestive issues • Hypervigilance or being easily startled • Fatigue or low energy
Behavioral Changes: • Avoiding reminders of the trauma • Difficulty concentrating • Changes in relationships • Substance use as coping • Self-harm behaviors
These responses show your strength and resilience - your body is working to protect you.

EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps your brain process traumatic memories...
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy that helps your brain process traumatic memories in a healthy way.
How EMDR Works: • Uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, sounds, or touch) • Helps your brain reprocess stuck traumatic memories • Reduces the emotional intensity of disturbing memories • Changes negative beliefs about yourself • Strengthens positive self-beliefs
What to Expect: • 8-phase structured approach • Preparation and stabilization first • Processing happens at your pace • Most people see improvement within 6-12 sessions • Can be used for single or multiple traumas
EMDR is recognized by WHO and APA as an effective treatment for PTSD and trauma.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
CPT helps you understand how trauma has affected your thoughts and feelings...
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) helps you understand how trauma has affected your thoughts and feelings, and teaches skills to think about trauma in a balanced way.
CPT Focuses On: • Identifying unhelpful thinking patterns • Challenging negative thoughts about yourself and the world • Learning healthy coping skills • Processing emotions related to trauma • Developing balanced, realistic thoughts
Skills You'll Learn: • How to identify and change stuck thinking • Ways to manage difficult emotions • Techniques for handling triggers • Building self-compassion • Creating meaning from your experiences
CPT typically involves 12 weekly sessions and includes homework assignments to practice new skills.
Somatic Approaches
Body-based therapies that help release trauma stored in your nervous system...
Somatic approaches recognize that trauma is stored in the body and nervous system, not just in thoughts and memories. These therapies help release trapped survival energy.
Somatic Techniques Include: • Body awareness and sensing exercises • Breathing techniques to regulate the nervous system • Gentle movement and stretching • Progressive muscle relaxation • Grounding techniques for feeling safe
Benefits of Somatic Work: • Reduces physical symptoms of trauma • Helps regulate emotions naturally • Increases body awareness and trust • Restores sense of safety in your body • Complements talk therapy approaches
Particularly helpful for those who feel disconnected from their bodies or have physical symptoms.
Mindfulness & Grounding

Mindfulness and grounding techniques help you stay present and connected to your body, reducing the power of traumatic memories and flashbacks.
Mindfulness Practices: • Present-moment awareness exercises • Mindful breathing techniques • Body scan meditations • Observing thoughts without judgment • Loving-kindness meditation
Grounding Techniques: • 5-4-3-2-1 sensory technique • Progressive muscle relaxation • Safe place visualization • Bilateral stimulation exercises • Connection with supportive resources
These tools can be used anywhere, anytime to help you feel more centered and in control.
