Trauma Recovery

You Are Not Alone. Healing Is Possible.

If this is how you feel, know that trauma does not define you. These patterns, as overwhelming as they seem, can be untangled. At Prosopon Therapy, we specialize in helping people like you reclaim their lives—step by step, in a way that feels safe.

Many of our clients tell us, “I wish people knew how hard I’m trying.”

We see you. And we know how hard you’re trying.

That’s why our approach isn’t just about talking—it’s about listening deeply to your body, emotions, and nervous system so we can guide you toward healing from the inside out.

We know how hard it can be.

You’ll meet with a therapist who can empathize with you. Trauma is such an intense and specific experience; we get how hard it can be to feel seen and understood.

We work holistically, addressing your trauma from every angle.

Our experience and knowledge make us effective collaborators, helping you determine the best direction for your next steps.

Why Trauma Therapy Is Different

Trauma affects more than just your mind—it’s stored in your body, in your nervous system, in the very way you experience the world. That’s why healing requires more than just talking about it.

Traditional talk therapy, while helpful for many things, often falls short when it comes to trauma. If simply talking about what happened leaves you feeling overwhelmed, numb, or stuck in emotional flashbacks, you’re not alone. That’s a sign that deeper, experiential healing is needed.

The Evolution of Trauma Therapy

For centuries, healing traditions across the world—Buddhist mindfulness, indigenous body-mind-spirit practices, and other holistic approaches—have emphasized the connection between body and mind.

Western psychology has gradually caught up, with pioneers like Pierre Janet studying dissociation (the feeling of emotional numbness or disconnection) as early as the 1800s. Modern research confirms what many cultures have always known: trauma lives in the nervous system, and true healing must engage both body and mind.

At Prosopon Therapy, we integrate these insights to create a comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to trauma therapy.

What to Expect in Therapy

Healing trauma isn’t about forcing yourself to relive painful memories or “getting over it” through sheer willpower.

Instead, we help you:

                            ✓ Understand your body’s responses and triggers.
                            ✓ Learn techniques to calm your nervous system.
                            ✓ Reconnect with your emotions in a safe, gradual way.
                            ✓ Build trust in yourself and your ability to handle life’s challenges.

Our work might include mindfulness, movement, breathwork, or guided emotional exploration—always at a pace that feels safe for you.

By listening to your body, we help you break free from old patterns and move toward a life where you feel empowered, connected, and at peace with yourself.
