ONLINE & IN PERSON TRAUMA THERAPY IN FLORIDA

You’re over it…

What happened to you was scary, unbearable, and unfair.

Your life has been drastically changed since then because you don’t have the same look on life anymore.

— Resmaa Menakem

Your anxiety creeps up out of nowhere and triggers hit you when you least expect it
You have to be in control of you, your surroundings, and even the people in your life in order to feel the least bit at ease.
They feel difficult because it’s hard for you to open up to them. The intimacy you want feels impossible to get because your trauma seems to get in the way one way or another

You’re not at fault, yet you have taken on guilt, shame, and responsibility.

There are times you feel frozen in your trauma from the flashbacks, nightmares, and surprising triggers.

It’s hard to get up, you can’t sleep, and you can’t seem to ever fully focus on something without the trauma you experienced being in the background.

Your trust in people has been shattered.

You don’t like how you’ve coped with what happened to you, but you’re unsure of how else to cope.

You can live your life without the constant reminders of what happened to you. Your triggers become minimal and you’re able to do things and go places you once couldn’t because of the anxiety and panic that you felt.
You can finally feel relaxed in your body. The stress that kept you from feeling like yourself is gone. You are able to feel released from your trauma and the uncomfortable symptoms that come with it.
The person you were felt damaged and inevitably changed. Now, you feel like a new you is being born and you can step into that true, authentic self after healing from your sexual trauma.

Sexual trauma is any sexually inappropriate experience that leaves you feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed. It usually happens without consent. It can leave the survivor with difficulty to trust others, panic attacks, inability to engage in consensual sex, and depression.
The symptoms of sexual trauma include nightmares, fatigue, flashbacks, insomnia, body aches, change in performance at work or school, inability to engage in normal daily functioning, difficulty concentrating, isolation, changes in mood, increased risky sexual behavior, and feelings of inability to trust romantic partners.
The long term effects of untreated sexual trauma can come in physiological and emotional difficulties.
This can include sexual health problems, gastrointestinal issues, increased anxiety and depression, increased cortisol, and lack of emotional connection with intimate partners.
Willow Wellness Counseling offers treatment for sexual trauma through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
This type of treatment is a research based therapeutic approach that has helped others heal from their sexual trauma.
