Online trauma therapy.
Trauma as an imprint on the nervous system.
Trauma is less the event itself than what stays with the nervous system when something was too much, too fast, or faced too alone.
Foundations
Trauma and the nervous system
When protection wasn't possible, the nervous system often stays on alert or withdraws. The after-effects can surface in everyday life long after the experience itself.
These responses aren't malfunctions. They were once sensible ways of staying safe that may no longer serve you today.
Forms
Different forms of trauma
Developmental trauma
Arises when safety, holding or attunement were repeatedly missing in childhood.
Attachment trauma
Wounds in early relationships that later shape how closeness and trust are felt.
The after-effects of trauma
Tension, exhaustion, withdrawal or a sense of not quite being present can all be possible traces.
