Therapy for Trauma in Scarsdale, NY
Healing doesn’t mean the pain never existed. it means the damage no longer controls our lives.
WHAT IS TRAUMA?
The word trauma has become very widely used in pop culture and people understand it to mean different things.
Here’s the definition I use: Trauma is anything that exceeds your nervous system’s ability to cope either because it happens too fast, too intensely, or both.
The more obvious types of trauma include life-threatening events like: sexual abuse, physical abuse, or being in combat/war zone.
However, trauma also includes events that aren'‘t exactly life-threatening but have threatened your sense of self and safety.
You May Benefit From Trauma Therapy If You’ve Experienced:
Neglect or abandonment from a caregiver or partner
Vicarious trauma as a first responder or medical professional
Emotional abuse
Unexpected severe illness
Microaggressions or overt experiences of racism.
It is not the event that determines whether something is traumatic to you, but your experience of the event and what it means to you.

Nightmares and flashbacks
Panic Attacks
Depression

How Do I help Professional Women and entrepreneurs affected by trauma in Therapy?
If you've experienced trauma, you know firsthand how it can affect your ability to perform at your best, both personally and professionally. The good news is we all have the capacity to recover when something bad happens to us. However, it is very common for people to get stuck somewhere in their trauma recovery and if this is you, I can help.
