Therapy for trauma in Boston
Trauma is about loss of connection—to ourselves, to our bodies, to our families, to others, and to the world around us. This loss of connection is often hard to recognize, because it doesn’t happen all at once. It can happen slowly, over time, and we adapt to these subtle changes sometimes without even noticing them.
—Peter Levine
When an experience overwhelms our ability to cope, our mind and body respond in extreme ways that help us to survive. These adaptations, so crucial to surviving an extreme situation, can stick around longer than we need and get in the way of what we want, interfering with our ability to feel safe in the world, get close to others, or focus on what matters to us. I can help you quiet your natural protective responses so you can experience more ease and freedom.
To heal is to touch with love that which we previously touched with fear.
