Why Slowing Down Heals Trauma
In trauma therapy, slow is powerful. Moving too fast can overwhelm the nervous system, while a steady pace builds safety, trust, and deep healing. By pausing to notice breath, body tension, and subtle shifts, we stay in the window of tolerance—where real change happens.

You might crave closeness, long to feel connected, wanted, held, but find yourself leaning into sex when what you need is to be emotionally met. Maybe you've noticed a pattern: physical intimacy comes easily, but letting someone see your inner world feels overwhelming, even unsafe.

Shock trauma can leave lasting effects even when others don’t understand what you're going through. Learn why your reactions make sense, why you're not alone, and how trauma-informed support can help you heal.
