I specialize in helping people overcome PTSD, phobias, complicated grief, and triggers from childhood or the recent past. When a person has experienced a trauma, the event and emotions often get stuck on repeat in the brain, and a person can experience interrupted sleep, bad dreams, and constant replaying of the images of the event. Phobias are often linked to a past memory, conscious or unconscious, and can be cured when that initial memory is healed. Complicated grief can keep a person stuck in one aspect of grief, without allowing full healing and acceptance to come. Triggers happen in the present because of unresolved wounds
