Trauma Counseling
Trauma creates a disconnect from ourselves and others. It also creates a disconnect from ourselves. Trauma causes us to be more connected to our sympathetic nervous system that is on alert for danger. It keeps us scanning the past and future to help us stay safe in the present. This constant “time traveling” leads to anxiety and depression. We are wired for connection. Our brains actually have neurons, called mirror neurons, that help us to make sense of who we are in relation to other in an empowering ways. These mirror neurons need help wiring and firing. AEDP therapy helps us to connect with ourselves and one another in a way to grow and learn and become a person who sees themself and the world from a growth perspective.
