Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea. While these feelings are normal, some people have difficulty moving on with their lives. Together we can find constructive ways of managing these emotions.

Mindfulness and meditation go hand in hand. Mindfulness is the practice of quieting the mind, focusing on the breath and relaxing the body. Then by turning your awareness inside, observing your thoughts and feelings you are able to identify triggers - you can choose to respond mindfully instead of reacting mindlessly. Over time, my clients have found that they can easily turn to mindfulness and meditation practices to sustain themselves between sessions and beyond the therapeutic relationship.
When you make the decision to let go of the past and to not worry about things that haven’t happened yet, you get to experience a paradigm shift in consciousness. You realize you are not losing anything. You are, in fact, gaining everything ~ things you never knew you had.
