Trauma Therapy

Overcome the Pain of Past Experiences

“I just want a life worth living.”

 

We all live through difficult experiences. But, sometimes those experiences are terrifying and can cause a lifetime of pain. This is trauma. 

Untreated, trauma can impact every aspect of your life:

 

What is trauma?

 

Trauma is what can happen when we experience scary or life-threatening events. Yet, it’s important to remember that what is scary to one person is not to someone else. Sometimes we get through these times quite well. At other times, we can struggle for years with the impact of trauma-related conditions like Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

In fact, underlying common conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, and stress are often unresolved trauma. We tend to bury these painful memories. And when we do, the wear and tear on our body and mind become clear over time. After a while, we can’t hold it any longer

Untreated trauma can impact us in many ways. It may alter how we relate to others, the world, and ourselves. Or, it can devastate our lives, bodies, and spirits. One of my trauma therapy clients put it best when he said “there is nothing in my life that isn’t impacted by my trauma.

What causes trauma?

  • Abuse – physical, emotional, sexual
  • Natural disasters
  • Car accidents
  • Crime
  • Domestic violence
  • Losing someone close to you
  • Witnessing something scary
  • Public speaking
  • Illness, surgeries, diseases
  • End of a relationship

Trauma Therapy in Pasadena, CA can help!

 

Over the past few decades, the field of psychology has uncovered innovative, effective forms of trauma therapy. In specific, the field of somatic psychology. Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Brainspotting are all examples of modalities that have emerged recently.

Our Pasadena depression therapists incorporate many of these modalities along with:

  • Mindfulness
  • Hakomi Therapy
  • Attachment Theory
  • Relational Somatic Psychotherapy
  • And other psycho-biological disciplines

Every day we work with people who have been through a myriad of traumatic events in their lives. At CIT, we’re privileged to help them get their lives back! 

Help is available. And it works! You do not have to suffer any longer with the devastating impact of trauma.
