Trauma isn't only stored as a memory you can talk through — it's often held in the body, showing up as tension, a racing heart, or a nervous system that stays on alert long after the danger has passed. Talking alone doesn't always reach that layer.
Alongside psychoanalytic work, I draw on training in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, which pays attention to what's happening physically in the room — breath, posture, the body's responses — as part of the material we work with, not separate from it.
This combined approach moves at a pace that respects your nervous system's limits, rather than pushing you to revisit difficult material before you're ready.
