“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.” ― Peter A. Levine

A Tailored Approach to Trauma Healing for Cody, WY

Living in a close-knit community like Cody, WY, we understand the unique aspects that shape residents' experiences, including rural life, outdoor lifestyles, and the sometimes isolating nature of small-town life. Our integrated approach is designed to help you stay connected to what matters most, even in the face of challenging memories. The Six Pillars of Transformation at Bydand Therapy provide a foundation that aligns with Cody’s values of resilience, authenticity, and community support:

• Contacting the Present Moment (Be Here Now): Trauma can anchor us in the past or future fears, making it hard to engage with everyday life in Cody, whether that’s through outdoor activities or community events. We help you ground yourself in the present, building strength to be here now.

• Defusion (Watch Your Thinking): Traumatic experiences can bring overwhelming thoughts that feel difficult to escape. With ACT, you’ll learn to observe these thoughts without feeling consumed, bringing more mental clarity and freedom to enjoy Cody’s beauty and community.

• Acceptance (Open Up): Embracing emotions is key to resilience. We guide you in welcoming difficult feelings, allowing you to find peace without suppressing them.

• Self-as-Context (Balancing Self-Identity): Trauma can blur self-identity. We support you in finding a stable sense of self that endures, giving you a strong foundation to build meaningful relationships here in Cody.

• Values (Know What Matters): Rediscovering your core values helps you find purpose. We’ll assist you in identifying and pursuing what matters most to you, empowering you to live in alignment with your principles.

• Committed Action (Do What It Takes): Healing is an active journey. Together, we’ll make choices that align with your values, guiding you toward a life of purpose and personal meaning in Cody.
