Only Adults & Seniors: Individual & Couple: The imprint of trauma is psychological & somatic: long after the events are over, the body continues to respond as if danger were ever present. My professional mission is to bring this understanding of trauma to Adult and Senior clients as a psychotherapist, looking for answers to helping traumatic events. The key to healing is not just knowing what happened but transforming how mind, body, & soul still remember it. Trauma can reveal itself via depression, anxiety, despair, separations ,lack of resolve, patterns of repetition , worn out "survival mode defenses" from earlier times.
