Trauma therapy
Trauma therapy in Rivonia for when the danger has passed but the mind and body remain on alert.
After a distressing experience, people may feel unsafe, disconnected, easily overwhelmed or unlike themselves. Trauma therapy offers a careful space to understand these responses, strengthen stability and work towards a life that is no longer organised around what happened.
Understanding trauma responses
What happened matters. So does how it is affecting life now.
Trauma can affect memory, sleep, trust, relationships, the nervous system and a person's sense of self. Good trauma therapy does not rush the process. It begins by understanding what is happening now and building enough safety and stability for the work ahead.
