WHAT CAUSES EMOTIONAL TRAUMA?

Psychological or emotional trauma results from a wide array of personal or public events. There are a few common aspects to events producing a traumatic response. First, trauma often involves a violation of a person’s familiar ideas about the world. This sense of betrayal then places the person in a state of extreme confusion, anxiety and insecurity. Traumatizing events may be one-time occurrences, or take place over the course of many months or years. Experiences that frequently result in emotional trauma include sexual abuse, rape, incest, child abuse, domestic violence, battering, combat experience, exposure to natural disasters or accidents, bullying, torture, entrapment, criminal violence, and profound personal loss. Emotional or verbal abuse, or witnessing of abuse of another person, can also produce psychological trauma. Among those affected by psychological trauma, commonly recognized symptoms can be physical or emotional, or a combination of both.

We are a Trauma specialist in Alpharetta & Sandy Springs, Georgia using EMDR.

You want someone to love you, you feel empty, lonely and sometimes afraid. There they were appearing out of nowhere your soul mate. He is strong, confident, finally a man who knows what he wants. He has charm, good looks and oh that beautiful smile. They are like liquid mercury… They have the ability to change shape and create the life you’ve always wanted.

I am passionate about helping people overcome the devastating aftermath of being in a relationship with a Narcissistic partner.

Helping women heal from Narcissistic Abuse.

As a trauma specialist, we provide treatment to people who have experienced physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. For those who have suffered prolonged, repeated trauma in their lives, the aftereffects are often complex and frequently misidentified. These may include difficulty managing emotions, self-injury, severe anxiety and depression, chronic problems with identity and relationships, intense feelings of guilt and shame. Through therapy, we create a safe and supportive space where the impact of trauma can be faced and explored, where fears and destructive behaviors can be overcome, and where patients can begin to re-establish a sense of safety and connectedness in the world.
