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

Our Integrated Approach to Trauma Healing

Our work is grounded in the Six Pillars of Transformation, fostering personal meaning and aligning you with your core values throughout your healing journey in Lancaster:

1. Contacting the Present Moment (Be Here Now): Trauma often keeps us anchored to the past or in fear of the future. We help you connect to the present, grounding you in the here and now within Lancaster’s supportive community.

2. Defusion (Watch Your Thinking): Trauma can create overwhelming thought patterns. Through ACT, you’ll learn to observe these thoughts without being consumed by them, allowing space between trauma responses and your true self.

3. Acceptance (Open Up): Resilience grows when we welcome all emotions. We guide you to embrace difficult feelings, moving beyond avoidance and suppression, and helping you feel whole in your life in Lancaster, CA.

4. Self-as-Context (Balancing Self-Identity): Trauma can blur self-identity. We help you connect with a stable sense of self that transcends difficult memories, offering a safe and grounded approach in the Lancaster area.

5. Values (Know What Matters): Rediscovering what matters most can shape a meaningful life. We’ll help you identify these core values and integrate them into your decisions and relationships.

6. Committed Action (Do What It Takes): Healing requires action. We support you in making meaningful choices, aligned with your values, so you can create a fulfilling life in Lancaster, CA.

Understanding Trauma and Our Path to Healing

Trauma isn’t a chosen experience but an instinctive response to an overwhelming threat, where survival instincts take over. Lancaster residents may carry the effects of unresolved trauma, with lingering feelings of vulnerability or hypervigilance. Modern trauma therapies address both physical and emotional effects, offering tools beyond traditional talk therapy.

Our trauma-informed approach includes:

• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for body-based trauma responses, using mindful awareness without needing extensive verbal recounting.
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a widely recognized method that helps reprocess traumatic memories, easing their impact on daily life.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS), which offers a compassionate framework to address unresolved trauma as parts needing understanding.

Together with ACT’s Six Pillars, these therapies create a holistic path for healing, empowering Lancaster residents to find balance and resilience as they integrate past experiences.
