Why Trauma-Informed Therapy Matters
Healing goes beyond just talking; it involves understanding how trauma impacts the entire self.
When we experience deep loss, such as infertility or involuntary childlessness, it is not just a sad event—it can be a traumatic one. Trauma changes the way our brains and bodies process information, often leaving us in a state of high alert, anxiety, or numbness.
What is Trauma-Informed Care?
Trauma-informed therapy is an approach that recognizes the pervasive nature of trauma and promotes an environment of safety, trustworthiness, and empowerment. It shifts the question from "What is wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?"
Safety First
In my Warrington practice, the priority is creating a space where you feel physically and emotionally safe. We move at your pace. There is no pressure to "get over it" or move on before you are ready. We acknowledge that healing is a spiral, not a straight line.
The Body Keeps the Score
Trauma often lives in the body. You might experience unexplained fatigue, tension, or panic. Trauma-informed therapy integrates this understanding, helping you reconnect with your body in a safe and gentle way.
By working with a therapist who specialises in trauma, you ensure that your journey is held with the expertise and compassion it deserves.
