PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a type of anxiety disorder that is initiated by a traumatic and terrifying event. While most people who experience a traumatic event (such as abuse, sexual assault, violence, war or the threat of physical harm or death) do not develop PTSD, some may find they are feeling scared or stressed even when they’re no longer in danger. People suffering from PTSD may experience upsetting recurring flashbacks of the event and bad dreams. They may have trouble sleeping and feel emotionally numb, tense, or anxious. Feelings of depression and a lack of interest in life are also common. Women are more likely than men to experience PTSD and the disorder can happen at any age. If you or someone you know is experiencing the symptoms of PTSD for more than a month after the triggering event, seeking treatment from a mental health professional can be very beneficial.

PTSD symptoms often emerge from experiences that overwhelmed your nervous system’s ability to cope — and healing happens not just through talking, but through attunement, safety, and integration. I work gently and respectfully with clients who carry the imprint of trauma, helping them develop internal stability, restore trust in their experience, and move toward a deeper sense of coherence and wholeness.

When we experience trauma of any kind, parts of us step in to protect us. In the moment, we need those parts and they may even be crucial to our survival. Once we’re through the trauma, those protective parts might start getting in the way. They might feel like anxiety, self-criticism, depression, or the need to be perfect, and they might interfere with our ability to form connections with others. Therapy can help us honor those former survival strategies and help us get unstuck.

When you experience trauma, your brain's natural ability to process information can get overwhelmed, trapping the memory in its raw, original state. This is why living with PTSD can feel like you are constantly being hijacked by the past. A sudden sound, a specific smell, or a stressful shift at work can trigger intrusive flashbacks, hypervigilance, and intense physical panic.

Most people are familiar with fight/flight and freeze/please as responses to dangerous circumstances.  The Polyvagel Theory is an elaboration on these ideas.  I use a Polyvagel approach to help you get back to feeling safe after you have experienced trauma.  People usually get stuck in either fight/flight or freeze/please mode after traumatic experiences.  As a result the entire world begins to like a threat.  The Polyvagel approach helps restore safety and regulation so that you feel better.

There are two specific techniques that are consistently gaining research-based evidence of their effectiveness in successfully treating PTSD. Brainspotting – This modality taps into the body’s​ innate ability to heal in order to reduce and eliminate the impact of unresolved trauma, negative beliefs, and emotional distress. EMDR – This technique uses bilateral sensory input such as side-to-side eye movements to stimulate the brain to process difficult thoughts, memories, and emotions.

PTSD refers to a cluster of symptoms that occur on all levels of experience, and reflect an activated nervous system and a sense of uneasiness and discomfort in our bodies and worlds. We may or may not why this is, but over time, we can begin to access more safety and embodiment. Sometimes this means processing and working through traumatic experiences, and in other cases, it is in learning to care for ourselves in service to releasing patterns of chronic dissociation and alertness.

By reprocessing maladaptively stored memories, the brain’s natural healing process can integrate the past and reduce distress.

Trauma leaves an imprint on both body and soul, often fragmenting our sense of self. To survive, we develop coping strategies that can later become traumatic themselves.

I completed my initial training as the first male-identified person to offer therapy at the YWCA Silicon Valley Domestic Violence Support Network. I have since worked extensively with youth who have immigrated to the United States from Latin America seeking safety. My work with survivors of trauma has informed my perspective on how to help clients relate to the personal and collective wounds that we all carry.

Traumas we experience leave lasting imprints on us. They might be big, singular events that change our view of the world. They can also be a number of smaller disturbing experiences that add up. It is hard and not at all intuitive to try to digest these experiences. I help people break these experiences down so that they sit differently in the mind and body.
