In Traumatic or Distressing Situations, the Fight, Flight, or Freeze Response can get stuck
Life events can leave us feeling unsafe, powerless, and distressed
When a situation makes us feel unsafe, powerless, and distressed, it can cause us to get stuck emotionally. We can feel paralyzed or get triggered easily making daily life a real struggle.
You may have experienced abuse as a child. Or you may have a history of depression or anxiety that has wreaked havoc on your life. Trauma-informed therapy can help in many different situations. Everyone’s response to challenging events is different. We understand and don’t want to add to the stress and shame you have experienced. We want you to have relief and an easier life where you can feel joy and peace.
We can help you feel safe again through gentle and compassionate trauma therapy
Our licensed therapists use research based approaches to help you overcome the trauma and find relief. You developed ways of coping with the situation and they helped you survive. We understand that they may not be helping as they once did or may be time consuming and make life more frustrating.

At Relationships Matter Therapy, we specialize in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to Help Heal Trauma
EMDR Therapy
EMDR is a unique, nontraditional form of psychotherapy designed to diminish negative feelings associated with memories of traumatic events. Unlike most forms of talk therapy, EMDR focuses less on the traumatic event itself and more on the disturbing emotions and symptoms that result from the event.
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing is an effective, body-centered therapy that restores your body’s natural ability to calm itself. Developed by Peter A. Levine, PhD, this approach draws from many different disciplines to address the physiology of stress and trauma. Somatic Experiencing focuses on the responses that occur when someone experiences or remembers an overwhelming or traumatic event, in his or her body, rather than only through the thoughts or emotions connected to it.

“Having my defenses down felt good. I didn’t realize how much energy it took to carry my armor. My wall of protection kept bad stuff out, but it also kept good stuff from coming in. Guarding my heart is important, but not at the expense of being known by people who love me.” -Shauna Hoey
