“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 approach is grounded in the Six Pillars of Transformation, supporting you throughout your journey by building personal meaning and aligning with your core values. In Orange, we strive to help you cultivate resilience and find lasting relief from trauma’s effects.

1. Contacting the Present Moment (Be Here Now): Trauma can keep us stuck in the past or fearful of the future. In Orange, CA, we support you in staying grounded in the here and now.
2. Defusion (Watch Your Thinking): Trauma can lead to overwhelming thoughts. Through ACT, you’ll learn to observe these thoughts without letting them define you, creating space between your trauma responses and your true self.
3. Acceptance (Open Up): We guide you to embrace all emotions, helping you process difficult feelings safely and effectively.
4. Self-as-Context (Balancing Self-Identity): Trauma can blur self-identity. We support you in connecting with a stable sense of self that transcends traumatic experiences.
5. Values (Know What Matters): Rediscovering your values is key to a fulfilling life in Orange, CA. We’ll help you identify these guiding values, allowing them to shape your actions and decisions.
6. Committed Action (Do What It Takes): Recovery is a journey requiring action. We support you in making choices that align with your values, leading to a life of purpose.

Understanding Trauma and Our Path to Healing

Trauma is not a choice; it is an instinctive response to an overwhelming threat. Unresolved trauma can keep the body in a heightened state, leading to chronic feelings of hypervigilance, helplessness, or vulnerability. Our approach addresses these impacts through methods beyond talk therapy. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, for example, gently works with the body’s trauma responses. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps to reprocess traumatic memories, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a compassionate way to understand inner experiences. Combined with ACT’s Six Pillars, these approaches create a holistic path to recovery, empowering you to find balance and resilience.
