Big T Trauma

Little t Trauma
Perhaps, you also experienced little t experiences such as growing up in an environment where your feelings and experience were invalidated. Where you felt unheard and powerless. Or, you grew up with ongoing bullying at school or in the workplace. Which left you feeling isolated and hopeless. You just know you feel stuck in these experiences, and you're not sure how to move forward. You want to heal, thrive, and regain your sense of power and joy.

Process emotions with a Trauma Therapist and move forward
Our team of therapists has worked with many individuals who have experienced big T and little t traumas and have helped them to move forward and reclaim their lives. Before therapy, they felt stuck in a traumatized state and unsure of how to move forward. That they would never be able to heal and find their sense of joy, power, and hope again.
However, after seeking trauma therapy, they were able to gain skills, insight, and understanding to help them heal their mind and bodies.
Our approach to Therapy for Trauma
For trauma therapy at Lotus Psychotherapy, we approach trauma therapy by understanding that trauma is an experience that overwhelms our nervous system. In these moments that we experience trauma, our ability to learn and process information shuts off while our body's defenses turn on. Which, once your survival mode gets kicked on it can be difficult to turn it back off once the traumatic event is behind us.
However, if you live in survival mode, it will be difficult to thrive in the life you want to live.
This is why our specialized team of therapists uses trauma-oriented techniques. So they are able to help people mitigate the effects of trauma. Some of these techniques include EMDR, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches. These will help you and other individuals that have experienced trauma to calm their bodies, build perspective and find their sense of groundedness. So that you can heal, thrive, and overcome the adversities of trauma.
