many shapes and forms
Trauma can take many forms
Trauma is not always what others see. It can be loud — shaped by violence, shock, or loss — or quiet, formed in the subtle breakdown of trust, care, or safety over time. You may experience flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, or a chronic sense of alertness. For some, trauma lives in the body. For others, it appears as silence, disconnection, or a persistent feeling of being “off.”
Perhaps the trauma is recent. Perhaps it occurred long ago but remains strangely present — in your relationships, your sleep, your sense of self. You may struggle to name what happened, or wonder if it “counts” at all.
From a psychoanalytic perspective, trauma is not only what happened — it is what could not be spoken at the time. Therapy becomes the space where that speech may begin.

What’s it all about?
Trauma disrupts meaning. It interrupts time. It may split you from your memories, your body, or your capacity to trust. But symptoms do not appear without reason. They carry the trace of something too much, or too confusing to make sense of — at least at the time.
Psychoanalytic therapy works to slowly, following your own rhythm, dismantle the affects of trauma. The goal is not to just to “move on,” but to create a space in which the traumatic imprint can be worked through and eventually transformed.
The past may not be undone. But its grip on the present can be loosened.

Is therapy for trauma right for me?
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to begin working with a psychotherapist.
You may be living with the aftermath of abuse, grief, medical trauma, or emotional neglect. You may not describe your experience as “trauma,” but still feel haunted, stuck, or overwhelmed.
Whether the trauma is named or not, the work begins with speaking. Carefully. In your own time. Therapy offers a space where what was once unspeakable might finally find form — not to erase the past, but to shift its hold on your life.
