Trauma

 

Trauma

I have been working for over 40 years with children and adults with history of Trauma. As a counselor in residential treatment facilities, as a supervisor, and doing individual and family therapy. Clients have included child victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, and community violence.  and domestic violence.

My work with trauma includes a profound awareness of the pain and loss that results from trauma, and a willingness to hold that pain and connect with the person in pain. My work with trauma combines the techniques of sensory-motor psychotherapy as developed by Pat Ogden and others, and documented well in Sensorymotor Psychotherapy by Pat Ogden, Kekuni Minton, and Clare Pain.

For more information on sensorymotor psychotherapy you can go to: http://www.sensorimotorpsychotherapy.org

Often trauma can lead to secondary anxiety, depression, phobias, substance abuse, and various strategies to avoid situations or thoughts that may remind a person of the trauma. In these cases I may also utilize techniques from the work of Milton Erickson, Haley, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address these issues.
