The National Sexual Violence Resource Center indicates that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys experience sexual abuse prior to age 18, while The Center of Disease Control and Prevention reports that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men experience sexual violence involving physical contact. In addition the statistics according the United State Department of Veteran Affairs-National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder reports 7-8% of military veterans experience post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These statistics represent only a portion of those who actually encounter trauma and struggle with the daily weight and unresolved effects in their lives.
How Trauma Affects People
Traumatic experiences may include: an accident, rape, natural disaster, abuse, etc. Trauma is an emotional and physical response to a terrible event that the brain and body cannot organize or process. It is by nature overwhelming. Some symptoms include unhappiness, anxiety, loneliness, anger, and irritability. Long term reactions to a traumatic experience include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms (headaches, or nausea). Unresolved trauma impacts on your body, mind, and soul. Mental health issues such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug use, relationship strain with family, friends, and coworkers are common outcomes and indicators of trauma unresolved in the body and brain.
The purpose of trauma therapy is to health the affect of the traumatic wound. Offering skills and strategies to assist with a better understanding, coping with, processing emotions and memories tied to traumatic experience are all parts of working towards the end goal of reestablishing right relationship in the brain and body. The body will continue to function as if the trauma is still happening as long as it remains disjointed and apart from the rest of you. The state of overwhelm, confusion, disgust and isolation that trauma brings can be resolved. Healing is real.

Anxiety & Depression
Most people occasionally feel sad or down. These feelings are usually short lived and are out of our lives within a couple of days. Someone who is struggling with depression, possibly interfering with their life on a daily basis, and causes pain for the client as well as others who care about them. A lot of people who have a depressive illness do not seek treatment.
This is unfortunate, because with the right treatments, things can get better!
Couples Counseling
Couples distress is a pervasive concern, and without intervention, the bad can get worse. Feelings of dissatisfaction, hopelessness, and/or deep disconnection can flood the relationship. When our brains are under great emotional stress, our logic areas of the brain are not functioning well and we point our distress towards the ones who can help us, but we often hurt them in the process.
