Emdr Therapist, Somatic Therapist
CurrentSpecializing in in the treatment of complex PTSD“Complex trauma refers to repeated exposure to traumatic events, often starting from an early age, and typically involves multiple forms of abuse, neglect, or violence. Somatic wounds are the physical manifestations or bodily sensations that arise from this complex trauma. These experiences can disrupt long-term physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Complex trauma can have a profound impact on the nervous system and disrupt the body's natural ability to regulate stress. This dysregulation can lead to the development of somatic wounds, which may include chronic pain, somatic dissociation, hypervigilance, gastrointestinal issues, and a range of other physical symptoms. These somatic wounds serve as tangible reminders of the trauma and can contribute to ongoing distress and dysfunction.Complex trauma encompasses a wide range of experiences, including early exposure to neglect, abuse, or violence. These experiences can have a profound impact on long-term physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. The journey towards healing somatic wounds is not always a straightforward path. Progress often takes twists and turns, and traditional therapy approaches sometimes fall short. Rather than solely relying on the recollection and retelling of painful events, it is essential to embrace a more holistic approach.” -The Embody Lab
