trauma

I have found that the longer & deeper I work with an individual client, the more frequently we discover a link between an often-overlooked event and their felt trauma.  As it’s a completely subjective response there is no such thing as an overreaction, or unnatural response.  When allowed to work at their own pace clients do not need invasive or distracting techniques or for their responses to be managed by me.  The very fact they have survived long enough to come for therapy means they have found a way to manage their own process to date, and rescuing is counter-productive.  Yes they may find healing through other practices e.g. yoga, meditation or a chat with a friend; also life-events can trigger a frightening response.  It’s all part of an individual’s unique process and acceptance of that is key to the therapy.
