Traumatic experiences and adverse events are common. If left untreated, trauma can affect your ability to feel safe, trust others and feel hopeful about your future throughout the life-cycle. It can also affect your ability to form healthy relationships at home, at school or work and in the community, too. Many clients are unable to identify, verbalize or explain their trauma, allowing movement to be the primary way to process. Comprehensive and innovative trauma-sensitive treatment approaches are available that can improve not only your overall general functioning, but improve your overall health and sense of wellbeing, too.
