Therapy for Trauma

“Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence.”

- Peter A. Levine

Types of trauma:

  • Medical trauma— complications with surgery, near death experience or medical negligence.

  • Combat trauma— experiences in war, being injured, and witnessing others injured or killed.

  • Religious or spiritual trauma— harm rooted in fear, control or abuse by a religious person or group.

  • Racial trauma— distress caused by repeated racism, discrimination, hate crimes or other race-related sufferings.

“Survival mode is supposed to be a phase that helps save your life. It is not meant to be how you live".”

- Michele Rosenthal
