Trauma Healing:
Find freedom again with trauma therapy for survivors in Houston and throughout Texas
Get unstuck from life and embark on a flourishing future.
Do you often find yourself stuck in your head, losing track of the life that's playing out in front of you?
Have unpleasant life experiences been replaying in your mind, like an unwelcome loop? Do memories hold you captive, making it feel as though time is frozen? Are you finding it hard to trust other people, always on alert, or even disconnected from your own sense of self? Perhaps your relationships seem like an impossible puzzle, and you constantly feel as though the dynamics are off-kilter.
The aftermath of a crisis and the impact of its trauma can weave into every corner of your life, making it difficult to break free from the grasp of the past. These effects hit us deep in the core, and they can make living authentically seem impossible amidst the chaos of each day. If this resonates with you, rest assured that you're not alone in these feelings.
Any one of the following symptoms could be a sign that you're dealing with trauma:
Unwanted memories that disrupt your day
Recurring dreams or nightmares that haunt you
Persistent hypervigilance or distrust
Detachment from loved ones
Struggles to connect with others
Avoidance of triggers that evoke pain
Masking the pain with substance overuse like alcohol, food, or drugs
Although it may seem impossible now, relief from the past is within reach. You have the potential to forge meaningful relationships in which you see and are seen. You can experience a healthy attachment and rest easy in your daily life. A sense of grounding awaits you, and I'm here to guide you toward it.
Imagine a life where:
The weight of traumatic memories is lifted
You form authentic and deep connections with others
Ambition and passion are reignited within you
Inner peace becomes your natural state
Your self-esteem is unshakable and unwavering
New challenges are met with resilience and excitement
You gain unparalleled insight into your true self
LIBERATION
My Approach
In therapy, I employ a blend of therapeutic modalities, with a primary focus on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) combined with Internal Family Systems (IFS). Through EMDR and IFS, you can achieve the following:
-
Rediscover safety within your body and the world around you
-
Unlock your spirit to a full range of emotions
-
Cultivate confidence and trust in yourself and others
-
Achieve acceptance of past experiences, leading to spiritual liberation
How it Works
EMDR: Shift from "stuckness" to adaptability by rewiring your thought patterns. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation techniques that create a bridge for your mind to process and heal. This can include actions like tapping, eye movement, or auditory cues that activate the left and right hemispheres of your brain. In essence, EMDR allows your brain to reprocess its emotional attachment to traumatic experiences, bringing relief and renewal.
IFS: Learn to lead with your authentic self, fostering harmony among every part of you. By honoring the story of each part of yourself, you will heal your needs and let your most resourced self take the lead.
Your past doesn't need to dictate your present or determine your future. You have the power to heal, flourish, and create a life where trauma's grip loosens its hold. I’ll be a lighthouse, patiently guiding you safely through, shedding light on the dark spots. The journey toward a life unburdened by trauma starts here.
I'm committed to supporting you through your healing process, crafting a tailored approach that
respects you for who you are. I believe you deserve to experience the full spectrum of joy in this life, and I'm here to help you reclaim it.
With unwavering hope,
Andréa
