Trauma happens. We rarely can control it; it does not discriminate in who experiences it, and no two individuals experience trauma in the same way. The definition of trauma is not universal. What may be traumatic for one may not be for another. And the path to recovery is as unique as the experience itself. You may not have chosen to experience trauma, but you can choose your path to recovery. You have the power to recover. Trauma does not limit its impact on those who experienced it; it also impacts loved ones. It can take the form of conflict, stress and anxiety, burnout, parenting struggles, or caregiving for a loved one.

Do you feel like you've tried everything? You love each other so much and want to figure this out, but you seem to just go around in circles. There are things you need to talk about in your relationship, but you aren't sure how to bring them up without defensiveness or more hurt feelings. When this happens, you start to feel so frustrated because you just don't know what to do. You're afraid that if you don't learn how to communicate differently, you will feel even further apart or the worst case scenario, end up leaving each other. This would be such a loss because when times are good they are great. You could really use some help.

If you have experienced anxiety, you know how awful it can feel at times. Like a ghost, it can come from nowhere and you suddenly have knots in your stomach or shaky hands, chest constriction, or worse - you may feel like passing out or throwing up. There are lots of helpful skills to deal with anxiety once you know the symptoms. Yet anxiety is not always seen for what it is. It can hide behind angry outbursts, procrastination, compulsive behaviors, insecurity, self-deprecation, and tendencies to please others. Yet sometimes, anxiety is a messenger of deeper truths and hidden wounds.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
