Trauma Counseling

IN-PERSON Trauma THERAPY IN BELLEVUE, WA

ONLINE Trauma THERAPY FOR ALL OF WASHINGTON STATE

Do you feel wounded or detached?

You may have gone through disturbing incidents that left deep traces in your journey. Or you might be traversing a painful situation that impairs your capacity to study, work, or carry on with your days.

Although “trauma” may sound exaggerated or overrated, it can happen to anyone. Asking for support to treat it doesn’t make you frail—it makes you brave.

At Kaizen Counseling, we provide a safe and comforting space to help you recover from trauma and feel whole again.

WHAT IS Trauma?

Trauma is your response to a distressing experience that has a lasting mental, emotional, and physical impact.

Common Traumatic Events

  • Abuse (physical, emotional, sexual)

  • Accident or injury

  • Childhood neglect

  • Death or loss

  • Discrimination or violent attack

  • Medical condition or procedure

  • Military activity

  • Witnessing trauma happening to others

SIGNS OF TRAUMA OR POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS

  • Anger

  • Constant nerves and fear

  • Difficulty focusing

  • Drastic mood shifts

  • Evading people, places, or situations related to trauma

  • Frequent flashbacks or nightmares

  • Guilt or shame

  • Hypervigilance

  • Isolation

  • Low self-worth

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Trouble remembering or speaking about trauma

If you or those you love display any of these signs, you are not alone. Therapy offers the opportunity and resources to find relief.

Experiencing post-traumatic symptoms does not mean you are living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To be diagnosed with PTSD, you must fit distinct criteria, and symptoms must restrict your functioning for over a month.

HOW CAN THERAPY HELP WITH Trauma?

  • Understand your trauma, symptoms, triggers, and implications

  • Process hurtful memories without reliving or overexplaining them

  • Ease physical, mental, and emotional pain

  • Learn coping techniques to ground and self-soothe

  • Recover your sense of safety and inner voice

  • Change your relationship with your trauma

  • Improve functioning
