Many people suffer unnecessarily from the effects of trauma, PTSD and abuse. Often, people suffer because they don’t realize they have experienced trauma, or they underestimate it’s impact on their lives.
But the effects on those who have experienced trauma are very real, even when they don’t recognize it has occurred. In order to heal, trauma must first be understood and recognized. Then it must be processed with the help of someone with appropriate training and skills.
How We Can Help
The foundation of our therapeutic approach to healing trauma is the establishment of a safe environment and strong compassionate bond. This safety and connection gives survivors the courage they need to face the wounds of their past.
In the context of that safe and trusting relationship, we use several methods including EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is a type of therapy that enables people to heal from the distress and ongoing PTSD symptoms that can result after experiencing trauma.
We also specialize in an advanced therapeutic technique called “Brainspotting,” which accesses the unconscious mind and nervous system.
The most common forms of therapy and behavior modification techniques, tend to have little or no lasting therapeutic effect on trauma because they access only the most conscious part of the brain. In contrast, Brainspotting accesses and clears very deep levels of traumatic memory, bringing lasting relief.
This marshals deep levels of internal resources, which greatly strengthen the survivor to face therapeutic challenges. It also allows the person to proceed at a pace that is just right for his or her needs. We provide trauma, PTSD, and EMDR therapy in Utah County, Provo and Holladay in Salt Lake City, Utah along the Wasatch Front.
