Therapy for Trauma
Trauma can show up in many ways: overwhelm, shutdown, anger, spacing out, and ‘functional freeze’, just to name a few. Sometimes, after you feel like you’ve done a lot of work in therapy and other healing methods, something can activate a need for more trauma healing: a new relationship, a new job role, new responsibilities, or even learning new information. This is very normal, even if you feel like you should be able to figure it out.
Or maybe nothing new is happening, but you are acknowledging that there are stories or events that you’d like to re-visit.
Maybe you’ve been in therapy in the past, and the skills that worked in the past to help you calm and regulate aren’t doing it anymore.
You may be having big reactions to loved ones, and it doesn’t make logical sense to you.
Perhaps you need support to set, communicate and hold the boundaries that you need.
You’ve done the work in therapy, and you intellectually understand how your childhood affects you now, but you need tools to manage your nervous system dysregulation.
If these sound true for you, I want you to know that what you are experiencing is normal. Reaching out for help can provide you with the support, awareness and skills that you need. You may try to figure this out on your own, but having support is especially important in navigating trauma responses.
I’m here to tell you that it’s possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could...
Make sense of your responses, and choose more skillful ways to communicate with others.
Have tools and skills to help you find relief, ease and healthy connection.
Maintain and communicate boundaries that allow you to stay in connection.
Trauma Therapy helps you to acknowledge and heal old patterns that may be showing up at the wrong times.
You will get you the fresh perspective you need to discover things about yourself that you haven't realized before, and see that you deserve kindness and forgiveness - the same that you give to others.
Even if you are not sure if your problem is serious enough, Trauma Therapy may be able to help.
I've helped people experiencing trauma find new ways to self-regulate and set boundaries that they never imagined to be possible. With new insights and tools, my clients can find permission and support to try new ways of being.
My name is Eileen Van Tyne and I am a trauma-informed therapist and polyvagal theory nerd.
Trauma Therapy consists one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, I will ask questions and check in as we go, and play an active role. Here’s how it will work step-by-step:
First, I provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your struggles with me.
Through hearing your story, I will start to get a picture of what your challenges are.
We will start with helping you with immediate concerns like managing difficult emotions and challenging life situations.
We will also work to discover what your goals are in therapy and in life.
Keeping your unique goals in mind, we’ll figure out what’s needed to help you reach them.
Over the course of our sessions, you will start making progress towards the life you desire.
Ready to start feeling better? If you feel trapped in a life you don't love, Trauma Therapy could help.
