8 Best Houston Trauma Therapists

When overcome with physical or emotional stress, your brain isn’t able to adequately “digest” the trauma. This can cause your nervous system to become hyper-aroused.

Staying on high alert for too long can lead to feeling frozen, numb, or in an endless loop of fight or flight symptoms. To escape, you may find yourself doom-scrolling on TikTok or Instagram or bingeing Netflix for hours.

In fight, flight, or freeze states your brain responds as if the trauma is still happening. This can cause you to shut down or escape the “dangerous” situation. Trauma responses are triggered by a distressing event in the past that your brain and body have not processed. Consequently, emotions, thinking, relationships, behavior, and physical health are adversely affected.

The negative effects of trauma are far-reaching for your body and mind. To heal on a deeper level, you need in-person or online trauma and PTSD therapy in Texas that addresses both.

That’s just what you’ll find at Resilience Counseling and Wellness.

Successful trauma therapy restores a sense of safety in your body and helps resolve negative trauma-related feelings and symptoms.

That’s why our therapists use a combination of Somatic and Polyvagal therapies, including EMDR therapy, Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). We also utilize cognitive, experiential, and psychodynamic perspectives to help integrate your traumatic memories and emotions into your “normal” memory so they no longer hold an “emotional charge” over your life.

Our therapists don’t just help you cope with the distressing emotional and physical symptoms. We help you heal at the root cause of it all. And, we teach you skills you can use to maintain your progress.

At Resilience Counseling and Wellness, we value trauma-informed care and have the training to show for it. Our multi-faceted approach goes beyond traditional therapy so we can help you to resolve some of the more stubborn symptoms of trauma. The result is a stronger sense of self, feeling more balanced emotionally and physically, and the ability to make healthier life decisions.
