TRAUMA THERAPY IN MINNESOTA

Reconnect to others. Reconnect to yourself.

Trauma doesn’t just live in the past—it can echo in your thoughts, relationships, and daily life.

You might find yourself feeling disconnected from your sense of contentment and peace or struggling with the impacts of hurtful things that have happened to you, which can lead to frustration and confusion. These challenges can make daily life in relationships feel overwhelming or unmanageable, creating distance between you and the people you care about. You may worry that you’re not meeting their expectations, your mind and body feel like it is not ‘working’ as it should in your relationships, you feel misunderstood and unsure how to even talk about it, or fear they couldn’t begin to understand what you’re going through. Over time, this strain leaves you feeling isolated and unsure of how to move forward.

On a personal level, trauma can deeply affect your self-esteem and sense of self. You may start questioning your worth, feeling inadequate, ashamed, or stuck in patterns of self-blame. These feelings can impact how you view yourself and your place in the world, leading to anxiety, stress, or even withdrawal from the things you once enjoyed. Seeking therapy can help you understand and work through these challenges, giving you the tools to reconnect with yourself, rebuild your confidence, and create a sense of stability and empowerment in your life.

You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:

Carrying guilt or shame around because of your past is getting old.
Tired of experiencing life weighed down by the echoes of trauma that linger in your mind and body.
Wondering if you’re “broken” or if you’ll ever feel whole again — or if you ever could feel whole for the first time.

how we can help

Trauma therapy for yourself could help you rediscover a sense of peace, build deeper connections, and feel empowered and whole.

Trauma therapy can help you address personal struggles stemming from past experiences, such as persistent anxiety, feelings of shame or guilt, difficulty trusting others, emotional numbness, or feeling stuck in old patterns that no longer serve you. Brainspotting, a powerful tool integrated into your talk therapy, helps you process and release unresolved emotions stored deep in the brain and body, allowing healing at a profound level, by just using your eye positions. (Learn more about Brainspotting here.)

By working collaboratively with your therapist, you’ll identify the underlying patterns or experiences contributing to your struggles, whether they’re emotional, psychological, or relational. With Brainspotting, you’ll access and process the root causes of trauma in a focused and non-intrusive way and provide healing to these stored capsules of pain. Together, you will explore what has been holding you back and gain a clearer understanding of how past events have shaped your responses and beliefs. You’ll also learn techniques to manage triggers, develop coping strategies, and reconnect with your sense of peace, strength, and self-worth. Therapy provides tools to heal emotional wounds, create healthier perspectives, and break free from the cycles that have kept you stuck.

Trauma therapy can help you rediscover a sense of peace and connection in your life and relationships by addressing barriers to trust and intimacy that are caused by previous painful situations. The process focuses on rebuilding emotional security and enhancing your capacity for meaningful relationships. By identifying what stands in the way and learning new ways to approach yourself and others, therapy fosters healing and growth.

Moving at your own pace with your therapist, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your emotional needs and responses, while also developing skills to enhance communication, self-compassion, and resilience. This creates a foundation for stronger, more connected relationships built on trust, understanding, and a renewed sense of empowerment.

Common questions about trauma therapy

Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process the effects of trauma on your mind and body. By blending traditional psychotherapy with Brainspotting, we can identify and release deeply held emotional pain. While talk therapy helps you understand patterns and feelings, Brainspotting works directly with the brain's processing to help you heal at a deeper, subconscious level.
Brainspotting is a focused therapy technique that helps your brain access and process trauma stored in your body and subconscious mind. By identifying specific eye positions linked to emotional pain or trauma, we can activate your brain’s natural healing processes. It’s a gentle, non-invasive way to work through difficult experiences without needing to talk through every detail.
That’s okay. With Brainspotting, you don’t need to share every detail of your experience to find relief. This approach allows your brain and body to process the trauma in a way that feels safe and manageable for you. Over time, therapy can help you feel more comfortable exploring your emotions and experiences at your own pace.
Progress in trauma therapy can look different for everyone. You may notice reduced anxiety, fewer triggers, better sleep, or an increased sense of calm and control in your daily life. With Brainspotting and psychotherapy, you’ll gradually feel less stuck in the past and more present and empowered in your life.
Absolutely. Trauma therapy that combines Brainspotting and talk therapy offers a unique approach to healing. If other treatments haven’t fully addressed your needs, this blend could provide new tools to help process unresolved pain and give you a fresh perspective on your path to recovery.
