Trauma Recovery

TraumabodyA storm just over the horizon…

Like dark clouds swirling out of control, your thoughts churn…

“I can’t take this anymore!

“It’s too intense inside.”

“I must be doing something wrong.”

“Maybe I’m just bad?!”

“What’s the point… people don’t like me anyway.”

If you fail, you’re bad. If you succeed, you don’t deserve it. That belief sets up a world where there’s no point in trying.

It’s no wonder you’re overwhelmed.

Shame, guilt, fear, and insecurity gnaw at your sense of self. Rage simmers beneath the surface, accompanied by an anxiety that never quite goes away.

There’s a persistent dread that something will go wrong, leaving you feeling disempowered.

You fear abandonment, yet you crave intimacy.

You want to be with others, yet you push them away.

You want to succeed, but the thought of failure is unbearable.

Life becomes a constant tension – like standing at a fork in the road, paralyzed because you cannot decide which way to go.

Miserable as your world shrinks around you…

No aim for the future, no satisfaction in the present, and no respite from the flashbacks of the past…

Lashing out, overreacting, and retreating into escapism are unhealthy ways to relieve tension, but they don’t make life any easier.

And yet, you hang in there. You put on a brave face. You fake your way through life, people-pleasing and overextending yourself for others—often staying in unhealthy relationships because the alternative feels too daunting.

Traumabody2You 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.
