Navigating the Effects of Trauma is Never Easy

Trauma is defined as the emotional and physical response your body experiences following deeply distressing or disturbing events. Symptoms of trauma can be emotionally charged or life-threatening moments that overpower your usual capacity to cope, leading to feelings of helplessness and vulnerability.

Experiences That Can Lead to Trauma

ABUSE

There are various forms of abuse, including physical, sexual, emotional, and spiritual abuse. When personal boundaries are violated, it can have lasting effects on your emotional well-being and how you navigate your relationships and surroundings.

CHILDHOOD NEGLECT

When your essential physical and emotional needs are not met during your development as a child, it can result in experiencing feelings of abandonment. This can foster a deep-seated belief that you may be unworthy of love and care, which makes it difficult to form healthy relationships.

EXPOSURE TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Living in an environment where there is substance abuse can create a constant state of uncertainty and fear. Children and adults alike may develop anxiety and depression, which in some cases, may also contribute to substance abuse issues themselves as a coping mechanism.

MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

Experiencing mental health challenges without understanding or support can feel isolating and overwhelming, potentially leading to trauma. The stigma and potential for misdiagnosis or mistreatment further exacerbate this sense of alienation and distress.

VIOLENCE

Witnessing or being a victim of violence can be profoundly traumatizing, creating a persistent fear for your own safety and a heightened state of alertness. This exposure can hinder an individual's ability to feel safe in their environment and can lead to PTSD.

RACISM

Encountering racism can inflict deep psychological wounds, instilling a sense of perpetual danger and invalidation based on your identity. This ongoing stress can erode self-esteem and foster a chronic sense of insecurity and trauma.

INJURIES FROM ACCIDENTS

Experiencing mental health challenges without understanding or support can feel isolating and overwhelming, potentially leading to trauma. The stigma and potential for misdiagnosis or mistreatment further exacerbate this sense of alienation and distress.

SUDDEN SEPARATION FROM A LOVED ONE

The abrupt loss or separation from someone significant can shatter an individual's sense of normalcy and security, leading to profound grief and trauma. This experience can disrupt your ability to trust and form attachments in the future.

NATURAL DISASTERS

Experiencing a natural disaster can induce trauma by overwhelming an individual’s ability to cope with the immediate danger and devastation. The loss of home, community, or loved ones, along with the chaos that follows, can have enduring effects on mental health.

You Are Not Alone in This Journey

Whether you're processing the aftermath of a traumatic event or grappling with the effects of long-standing developmental wounds, know that you have allies who genuinely care about your healing journey.

Each person’s journey with trauma is unique, shaped by their personal experiences and emotional reactions. Some situations where others have succeeded may have rendered you feeling overwhelmed and overpowered, resulting in feelings of loss, vulnerability, and disconnectedness from yourself and those around you. 

At Revive Counseling and Wellness, we provide a safe space where you can find understanding and acceptance as you take a meaningful step toward regaining your sense of self and community. 

Through our training and foundation in trauma, we apply evidence-based techniques to guide you on your path to healing.

Embarking on this path may feel daunting. However, you can be assured you do not have to go through it alone.

Our Approach to Trauma Therapy in Scottsdale, AZ

Our team of dedicated trauma therapy professionals are here to listen, understand, and walk alongside you as you navigate your path to recovery. 

We apply a holistic approach to wellness, blending compassion with empirically proven modalities in treating the multifaceted impact of trauma.


POLYVAGAL-INFORMED THERAPY

Drawing insights from the Polyvagal Theory, this therapy emphasizes the importance of the body’s social engagement system in creating feelings of safety and connection. Our therapists utilize Polyvagal-informed strategies to help cultivate a sense of security and foster deeper social bonds

SENSORIMOTOR PSYCHOTHERAPY

This approach combines cognitive and emotional processing with body-centered movements to address trauma’s impact on the body’s response system. This can help create new pathways to help you rediscover your body’s innate ability to move toward healing and balance.

SOMATIC EXPERIENCING

Developed on the premise that humans, like animals, can overcome trauma through natural mechanisms, our Somatic Experiencing therapy focuses on the body’s ability to regulate and discharge stress. It guides clients toward releasing trapped survival energy and promotes restoring resilience and well-being.

INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (IFS)

Our IFS therapy recognizes the multiplicity of the mind and the existence of various sub-personalities within each individual. By identifying and addressing these parts, especially those carrying burdens of trauma, we aim to heal internal wounds and achieve mental harmony, empowering clients to lead balanced and fulfilling lives.

EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING (EMDR)

EMDR therapy helps you process and integrate traumatic memories through bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements. This method aims to ease the distress associated with traumatic experiences, enabling the mind to recover from these painful memories.
