Understanding Trauma

Trauma isn’t always the result of a single catastrophic event. It can come from chronic stress, emotional neglect, abuse, loss, or experiences that made you feel unsafe or powerless. Sometimes, people minimize what they’ve gone through—especially if they’ve learned to “cope” by staying busy, productive, or emotionally distant.

But even when trauma is buried, its effects often surface in other ways: anxiety, depression, irritability, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from yourself.

At Euvion Mental Health, I understand that trauma affects both mind and body. It can shape how you see the world, how you relate to others, and how safe you feel in your own skin. Our goal is to help you process what’s happened—without judgment—and reclaim a sense of calm, safety, and self-worth.

Signs of Unresolved Trauma

Trauma can show up in many forms, such as:

  • Hypervigilance or a constant sense of danger

  • Emotional numbness or detachment

  • Sleep disturbances or nightmares

  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories

  • Difficulty trusting or connecting with others

  • Chronic guilt, shame, or self-blame

  • Avoiding reminders of past events

  • Physical symptoms like headaches or digestive issues

Whether your trauma stems from childhood experiences, a toxic relationship, or something more recent, you don’t have to carry it alone—or forever.

Our Approach to Trauma at Euvion Mental Health

Healing from trauma takes time, trust, and the right support. At Euvion Mental Health, I create a safe, respectful space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, without pressure or re-traumatization.

Our trauma-informed care includes:

  • Comprehensive Psychiatric Assessment
    I take the time to understand your full story—not just your symptoms—so we can offer care that’s attuned to your history and your healing goals.

  • Evidence-Based Therapy
    I integrate therapeutic approaches that support trauma recovery, emotional regulation, and nervous system stabilization.

  • Thoughtful Medication Management
    When helpful, I use medication to support mood stability, sleep, or anxiety—always with care, collaboration, and the lowest effective dose.

  • Whole-Person Wellness
    I address the physical, emotional, and relational effects of trauma, supporting you in building resilience and restoring a sense of agency.
