Healing After Trauma
Healing After Trauma
Trauma can leave you feeling stuck in the past—on edge, disconnected, or easily overwhelmed.
Whether you’ve experienced a single distressing event or ongoing stress over time, therapy can help you move from survival mode toward healing and connection.
At Inner Compass Counseling, our trauma-informed therapists provide a compassionate, safe space to process what happened and rebuild your sense of peace and control.
When the Past Still Feels Present
When the Past Still Feels Present
You might notice:
Intrusive thoughts, memories, or nightmares
Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled
Avoiding people, places, or memories that remind you of the trauma
Trouble trusting others or feeling emotionally numb
Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
Guilt, shame, or a sense of being “stuck”
These are not signs of weakness — they are your mind and body’s natural responses to overwhelming experiences.
Healing begins when we help your body and brain feel safe again.
Our Approach
Our Approach
Healing from trauma takes more than talking about what happened.
Our therapists integrate evidence-based, compassionate approaches tailored to your needs, such as:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel as distressing.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that keep you stuck.
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): teaches mindfulness and self-compassion while helping you live in alignment with your values.
Mindfulness & Somatic Techniques: calm the nervous system and help you reconnect with your body.
These modalities help reduce hypervigilance, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm—allowing you to move forward with strength and clarity.

Your therapist will meet you where you are—no pressure, no judgment. Trauma therapy begins with safety and stabilization, helping you build coping tools before addressing deeper memories.
Together, you’ll learn to manage triggers, reduce anxiety, and feel more grounded in the present. As healing progresses, many clients describe feeling lighter, more confident, and more connected to themselves and others.
