Supporting you at every moment

Learning about Trauma:

Trauma

Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing event, but its effects can vary widely depending on the individual, the severity of the experience, and the support available.  Trauma can feel heavy- the exhaustion of carrying it all on your own, the fear that no one will truly understand, and the doubt that things could ever be different. Maybe you’ve told yourself that you should be able to handle it alone, or that your pain isn’t “bad enough” to ask for help. But the truth is, trauma doesn’t just go away with time, and healing isn’t something you have to figure out by yourself. The weight you’ve been carrying—the memories, the fear, the self-doubt—was never meant to be yours alone. You don’t have to keep pushing through in silence. Your pain is real, and so is your strength. And no matter what you've been through, you are not broken.

What is trauma?

Does This sound Familiar?

Sometimes….

You feel on edge, like danger is always just around the corner, even when you know you're safe. Certain places, sounds, or even random moments trigger a flood of emotions or memories you wish you could escape. You struggle to relax—your body stays tense, your mind races, and sleep never feels restful. Maybe you grew up in a home where you had to be on guard, where love felt unpredictable, or where your feelings weren’t safe to express. Now, even as an adult, you find yourself reacting to things in ways you don’t fully understand—shutting down, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’re never enough.

You might avoid people, places, or conversations that remind you of what happened, but no matter how much you push it away, the past still lingers. Maybe you blame yourself, feel disconnected from others, or wonder if you’ll ever feel “normal” again. Trauma isn’t just something that happened—it’s something you carry, shaping the way you see yourself, others, and the world. And some days, it feels impossibly heavy. You don’t have to carry this alone. Healing is possible, and you deserve support. If this resonates with you, reach out—let’s talk, process, and find a way forward together. You are not broken, and you are not alone.

How we do Therapy

  • This approach addresses deep-rooted effects of trauma on both the brain and body. It recognizes that trauma is not just a psychological experience but also a neurobiological one, affecting brain function, nervous system regulation, and overall emotional well-being.

    It focuses on rewiring neural pathways that have been shaped by traumatic experiences, using therapies that promote neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change and heal. It incorporates somatic and interoceptive work, which helps individuals reconnect with their bodies, process stored trauma, and regulate their nervous systems. By engaging both the cognitive (thought-based) and somatic (body-based) systems, neuropsychotherapy provides a holistic path to healing, fostering resilience and restoring a sense of safety and self-regulation.

  • This is an evidence-based therapy specifically designed to help individuals recover from trauma and PTSD by addressing the unhelpful thought patterns that keep them stuck in distress. It is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles and focuses on changing how a person interprets and processes their traumatic experiences.

  • Internal Family Systems is an evidence-based psychotherapy, helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts. IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their painful experiences. Through this process, the focus is on individuals developing self-compassion, reducing internal conflict, and releasing the burdens of past trauma, with the goal of obtaining greater emotional balance and resilience.

  • At The Moment MHC, healing from trauma and childhood wounds is approached with the highest level of personalized, evidence-based care.
