Our Integrated Approach to Trauma Healing

Our work is guided by the Six Pillars of Transformation, supporting your unique journey by addressing personal meaning and aligning with your core values. In Modesto, this may mean grounding yourself amid the fast-paced demands of daily life or finding ways to stay present despite past experiences.

1. Contacting the Present Moment (Be Here Now): Trauma often keeps us tied to the past or fearful of the future. In Modesto, we help you stay present, grounding you in the here and now.
2. Defusion (Watch Your Thinking): Trauma can create overwhelming thought patterns. Through ACT, you’ll observe these thoughts without letting them define you, helping you manage your trauma responses.
3. Acceptance (Open Up): We guide you to embrace all emotions, empowering you to process difficult feelings safely.
4. Self-as-Context (Balancing Self-Identity): Trauma can disrupt your self-identity. Our approach helps you connect with a stable sense of self that endures beyond trauma.
5. Values (Know What Matters): We help you rediscover your core values, guiding you toward a fulfilling life in Modesto.
6. Committed Action (Do What It Takes): Recovery is a journey requiring aligned actions. We support your choices, helping you build a life of meaning.

Understanding Trauma and Our Path to Healing

Trauma is an instinctive response to overwhelming events. In Modesto, unresolved trauma can keep survival systems activated, creating feelings of hypervigilance, vulnerability, or fear. Modern trauma therapies address these effects through integrated tools. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, for example, uses mindful awareness to process trauma gently. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps reprocess traumatic memories, while Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a compassionate way to understand inner experiences. Together with ACT’s Six Pillars, these methods offer Modesto residents a well-rounded path for healing, helping you find balance and resilience.
