Trauma Therapy in San Carlos, San Francisco & Across California
Healing your nervous system — not just your story.
Trauma Lives in the Body
Trauma is not just what happened to you.
It’s what happened inside you as a result.
You may experience:
· Hypervigilance
· Emotional reactivity
· Shutdown or numbness
· Panic attacks
· Difficulty trusting others
· Shame that feels hard to explain
· Chronic anxiety
· Dissociation
Trauma can stem from:
· Childhood emotional neglect
· Abuse
· Racism and discrimination
· Immigration stress
· Religious trauma
· Medical trauma
· Sudden loss
· Toxic or narcissistic family systems
Even if others had it “worse,” your nervous system still holds what it holds.
Complex & Intergenerational Trauma
Many clients carry trauma that didn’t start with them.
Intergenerational trauma can show up as:
- Survival-based parenting
- Emotional suppression
- Fear-driven control
- Silence around pain
A decolonial approach to trauma therapy recognizes how colonialism, displacement, racism, and systemic violence shape nervous systems across generations.
You are not broken. Your responses make sense.
How Trauma Therapy Works
Trauma therapy focuses on:
- Nervous system regulation
- Building internal safety
- Processing traumatic memories at a safe pace
