HOW I CAN HELP
Trauma Therapy
in Nashville, TN
The wound happened a long time ago. Your body still remembers.
Most people picture a single catastrophic event when they hear the word trauma. And sometimes that's exactly what it is. But trauma also looks like a childhood where you were never quite safe. A relationship where you were slowly broken down. A parent who was there physically but absent in every way that mattered. Neglect. Betrayal. Growing up too fast because someone needed you to.
What trauma
actually looks like
You've tried to
move past it
You've told yourself it wasn't that bad, that other people had it worse, that you should be over it by now. But your body keeps the score, even when your mind tries to file it away. The nightmares, the anxiety, the way you flinch at things other people don't even notice, that's not weakness. That's your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do to keep you safe.
Trauma isn’t defined by what happened to you.
It's defined by what it did to your nervous system.
You might be living with the effects of trauma if you:
I will never push you to talk about something before you're ready
I move at your pace and let you lead, even on the days when you don't have the words yet
I use Brainspotting and Somatic Work alongside talk therapy because trauma lives in the body, not just the mind
I won't make you relive every detail or use jargon that makes you feel like a case study
I will sit with you in the hard places and stay steady when things feel overwhelming
I will remind you, as many times as you need to hear it, that your reactions made sense given what you survived
