Understanding Trauma Therapy
What it is, what it isn’t, and why insight alone often isn’t enough for healing
This free guide is designed to help you:
Understand the signs and symptoms that often indicate trauma in your nervous system
Learn why you need more than talk therapy to heal and get unstuck
Clarify what trauma therapy involves — beyond coping skills and insight
Discern whether trauma-focused therapy may be the next right step for you

If you need emergency help, please go to your nearest hospital emergency room or call your local police or crisis number.
If you’ve tried to “talk it through,” pray it through, or push through — yet still feel emotionally stuck, reactive, or disconnected — you may be dealing with unresolved trauma, whether from an extreme one-time event, multiple hurts and wounds compiling over time, or other experiences that your nervous system needs help to process.
