Trauma
TRAUMA
when left untreated, can feel like living life in a constant state of uneasiness.
During a traumatic experience, a person’s brain might help them to bear this threatening event by going into survival-mode. It can be a challenge to return to a sense of calm and safety after experiencing trauma. Survival-mode may continue to be a way of life for an individual who has not had an opportunity to process their traumatic experience and understand its impact. This lack of understanding can lead to reoccurring triggering experiences, with a person feeling lost with how to cope. Sadly, these instances often retraumatizes an individual. If you are enduring exhaustion from this unyielding cycle, we want you to know a healthier way of life is possible for you.
Core Counseling takes honor in assisting you with increased feelings of peace, calm and safety by allowing you to process your trauma, gain awareness about the direct and indirect impact of your trauma, and gain the tools you need to cope in healthy ways. Through various clinical interventions we are committed to the goal of helping you feel you’ve regained a sense of control and self-confidence in yourself and your ability to keep yourself safe. With the reduction of survival-mode patterns, including avoidance, escaping, and lashing-out, you learn to live at your highest functioning self. You deserve this.
