Trauma can change your brain and nervous system, leading to dysregulation and symptoms such as depression and anxiety. As such, trauma therapies focus on soothing the nervous system, integrating traumatic memories, and supporting both mind and body healing.
Around 70% of adults in the United States have experienced at least one trauma. Not everyone will have lasting effects, but 6% of U.S. adults develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

But there are effective treatments to help clients heal from trauma. Read our full blog on trauma-focused therapy here.
