Zach Walters, LCSWA discusses how the book The Body Keeps the Score has influenced his approach with clients.

As a therapist, few books have influenced my work as deeply as The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. This groundbreaking book has shifted how many of us in the mental health field understand trauma—not just as something that lives in our minds, but as a whole-body experience that sh...

Old wounds may resurface. Emotions you thought you buried might come flooding back. You might feel like you're going backwards — but you're not. You're just moving through the layers, facing what was once too painful to feel.

Progress doesn't always look like peace — sometimes it looks like crying, resting, setting boundaries, or letting go of what no longer serves you. That is the work. That is healing.

Be gentle with yourself. This path may be messy, but it’s also powerful. You're not broken — you're becoming whole. 🌿

Many people don’t realize until adulthood that experiences they thought were “normal” growing up may actually have been forms of trauma.

If you’ve ever wondered why you struggle with anxiety, relationships, or constantly feeling “on edge,” it could be connected to the past.

The Invisible Load We Don’t Talk About

If you’re the one keeping your family running—remembering the appointments, managing emotions, making sure everyone is okay—you know how heavy that invisible weight can be.

And when past trauma is layered onto that role, it can feel overwhelming.

If you’ve ever felt your anxiety build until it crests like a panic attack, you know how overwhelming it can be. And if you’ve already done years of therapy but still feel stuck in your body, you’re not alone.

Talk therapy gives insight—but sometimes it’s not enough. That’s where somatic trauma therapy comes in. By working with the body and nervous system, approaches like Brainspotting can help release anxiety at its root and bring real relief.

You’ve done the hard work with your mind—now it might be time to let your body heal too.

If you live with high anxiety, you probably know what it feels like when your body takes over. Your heart races. Your breath shortens. Your mind floods with “what ifs.” Sometimes it builds to what feels like a climax of panic—a moment where your nervous system feels like it might burst.For man...

Most people don’t realize how much trauma lives in the body, not just the mind.

You might know you’re safe. You might understand why something happened.
But your nervous system still feels stuck, anxious, or on high alert. That’s not a mindset issue. That’s survival physiology.

That’s where Brainspotting comes in.

It’s a gentle, focused therapy that helps your body and brain process what words can’t always reach. You don’t have to retell your trauma or force insight. Just slow attention, presence, and support.

And yes—it works just as well online as in person.

If you’ve been trying to “think your way out” of old pain and it’s not working, you’re not broken. You might just need a different kind of help.
