Trauma

When your life is threatened by an event, you may develop symptoms of acute trauma, such as flashbacks.

Many of us have traumatic events or attachment wounds in our past. When caregivers do not support us as we deserve, we often have unwanted reactions, such as startling easily, or we rely on coping strategies that eventually make our lives more difficult.  This results in chronic trauma.

When the brain does not store trauma memories correctly, the traumatic event(s) feel like they are happening now or are imminent, which results in flashbacks and other symptoms.  Dance/Movement Therapy, hypnotherapy and EMDR provide an experience to help the brain store the traumatic memory properly.
