Our Approach to Complex Trauma
Parts Work & Safety
Complex trauma can leave the nervous system stuck in survival patterns like anxiety, shutdown, dissociation, or hypervigilance. We first focus on understanding protective patterns while building safety, grounding, and emotional stability.
EMDR Reprocessing
Once enough safety is established, EMDR helps the brain and nervous system process unresolved traumatic experiences using bilateral stimulation. Over time, distress, triggers, negative beliefs, and body tension can begin to reduce so the experience no longer feels “stuck.”
This Approach May Be Helpful If You:
- Feel stuck despite years of therapy.
- Understand your challenges logically but still react emotionally.
- Experience PTSD or complex trauma symptoms.
- Feel disconnected from yourself or your emotions.
- Notice different parts of yourself wanting different things.
- Struggle with emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or avoidance.
Real Change That Lasts
You don’t have to spend your life just managing symptoms. Trauma therapy can help you process what feels stuck at the root level.
Change Looks Like
Feeling calmer
More grounded, safe, and in control
Feeling less reactive
Less emotionally overwhelmed by triggers and stress
Feeling relief
Painful memories and body tension no longer feel stuck
Feeling connected
More present with yourself and the people around you

The Missing Key in Trauma Therapy
Research tells us that you even the most compassionate therapist with great knowledge of trauma reprocessing is not enough alone for people experiencing chronic dissociation, such as with dissociative disorders.
Our team is trained in working with dissociation as a necessary part of trauma therapy. We apply evidence based interventions to work with your system and your dissociative defenses so that we can safely and effectively treat the roots of the trauma.
If you have tried trauma therapy before and are still feeling stuck then we encourage you to reach out about this potential missing key.
Why Hasn’t Therapy Worked For Me?
Many people come to us after years of therapy feeling frustrated that they understand their struggles but continue to feel stuck. Complex trauma and dissociation often require approaches that go beyond traditional talk therapy.
