TRAUMA WORK
Trauma Work
Trauma occurs when you are overwhelmed by events or circumstances that take place in your life. You may react with horror, helplessness or intensive fear. This extreme stress can overwhelm you and your ability to cope. It’s important,
however, to know two things. You are not alone with over 70% (223.4 million) of adults in the U.S. having experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lifetime and, there are researched solutions to treating any of the trauma responses. Help can be attained by you when working with a qualified trauma treatment practitioner.
Symptoms of Trauma
Some symptoms of trauma include:
- Emotional mood swings, anger and rage
- Physical symptoms like headaches, backaches, stomach aches, sweating, heart palpitations and intestinal disorders
- Being easily started or frightened by noises and touch
- Changes in appetite, sleep and interest in sex
- Nightmares and flashbacks
- A lack of interest in family, friends, everyday activities, work
- Difficulty trusting others, feeling betrayed
- Survival guilt and shame
The Origins of Trauma
As you can see from the numbers above, trauma can affect anyone. No one is immune. Trauma can stem from any of the following:
- Childhood abuse or neglect
- Physical, emotional or sexual abuse
- Accidents and natural disasters
- Grief and loss
- Witnessing acts of violence
- Medical interventions, illness, injury
- War
- Violence
"Trauma is hell ...
on earth. Trauma resolved is a gift form the gods."
Dr. Peter Levine, author of Waking the Tiger, et al.
"Maintaining respect in the face of relational difficulties requires the practice of boundaries that gives us the gift of controlled vulnerability."

How Can I Help You?
With over 20 years of experience, I have heard in-depth stories from people in pain about one of the two most private areas of a person’s life, their sexual behavior, the other one being their financials, which are often inextricably tied together. I use EMDR as one of the treatment choices to help clients heal from past traumas and current day issues that are blocking healing and emotional freedom. In addition, for your convenience, I offer teletherapy via Zoom for clients in California, Nebraska, New York and Iowa.
