Trauma Therapy in St. Petersburg, FL is Here For You
Trauma therapy at ME-Therapy can help you stop living in survival mode and start to recover from these events. Then, you can start living your current life. It can also help you to make the changes that will make it more and more possible for you to stay in the present, trust your gut and your own inner truth, and live according to your own authenticity rather than in reaction to past trauma that still grips you.
How do we define trauma?
There are so many different kinds of trauma that might have impacted your life. These might be big events, like an assault, or less obviously traumatic events like messages you internalized in childhood that have shaped your life, or something in a more gray area like being bullied as a child. Traumatic events can also be global, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic and the ways in which we have all had to respond to it in our daily lives. Trauma can come in many forms and the way it impacts can be as unique as you are…and still completely valid!
Having trauma in your past alters the way your nervous system responds to threats (perceived or real) in the present. It is natural to feel afraid when you are in danger. Sometimes the fear doesn’t end when the threat does. Survivors of sexual assault and other traumas often feel stressed or frightened even when they’re no longer actively in danger.
While everyone responds to trauma in their own way, some of the effects of trauma that you might be experiencing are:
- problems regulating emotions,
- physical sensations of reliving the traumatic events of the past,
- an inability to trust your gut reaction to others,
- hypersensitivity to criticism,
- hyper-awareness of events occurring around yourself,
- a need to control your environment, and/or
- an inability to connect emotionally despite a deep longing to connect.
These are part of the lingering effects of trauma and also mechanisms that helped you survive!
The therapists at ME-Therapy can help you work through the fear that grips you and keeps you stuck. We can help to ease your anxiety and take the steps to help you move toward deep emotional connection with yourself and others, in a way that feels safe for you. Further, we can develop a custom PTSD Treatment plan for you, if appropriate.
Trauma therapy and PTSD treatment can help you to heal the lingering wounds and reclaim your life.
We understand that sometimes your life might outwardly appear orderly and “put together” when you are internally living in fear of life moving beyond your control. Trauma therapy at ME-Therapy may help you heal the root causes of these obstacles and help you achieve a greater balance and wholeness in life. Helping you build more solid relationships and be more at peace with the chaotic world around us. Call us now to start your journey toward more peace and authenticity.
