Why Does Trauma Show Up Long After the Event?

Trauma does not always fade with time. It can quietly shape your thoughts, emotions, and reactions in unexpected ways. You may experience sudden anxiety, emotional numbness, or a physical response to a familiar sound or scent. True healing is not about “getting over it” but understanding these reactions, untangling their hold, and giving yourself the space to move forward.

What to Expect From Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy provides a safe and supportive space to heal at your own pace. It begins with building trust and stability, allowing you to explore how trauma has shaped your thoughts, emotions, and body in a way that feels comfortable and empowering. There is no pressure to relive painful experiences. Instead, counseling offers gentle guidance to help restore a sense of control.
