Trauma is the experience of being overwhelmed by deeply distressing events — and it can be physical or psychological. Your body does what it can to protect you through threatening moments, but sometimes symptoms linger and interfere with your life. Even though you are safe now, your body is reacting as though it is back in an unsafe situation. Traumatic effects are not something you asked for or something you can control. Your brain and body are designed to prioritize survival and develop instinctive anticipatory patterns meant to protect us. Each symptom represents a way your brain and body adapted to a threatening experience. The goal with trauma is not to forget, but to recover from the negative effects trauma has on your life. We can help you understand the aftermath of traumatic events on your life and develop a path forward where trauma does not define you and take over your life.

Trauma gets stored in memory when the brain is overwhelmed. When triggered, people experience the same intense emotions and body sensations. It feels like the trauma is happening again now! Overwhelmed, people develop avoidance strategies, maladaptive beliefs ('I’m unsafe,' 'I’m powerless'), or hypervigilance to cope. These patterns keep people stuck in cycles of re-experiencing and emotional distress. EMDR gives people a way to reprocess traumatic events so they can experience physical and emotional relief and integrate accurate, empowering beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. EMDR engages the brain’s adaptive processing system while memories are held in a safe, supported way. This allows the brain and body to move out of survival mode and into greater clarity, flexibility, and choice. As a result, people are better able to stay present, connected, and responsive in their lives and relationships. You don’t have to live with the imprint of trauma on your life forever. There is so much hope for a future where you feel safe, secure, and supported.

CBT for insomnia is designed to help people change behaviors, beliefs, and ways of thinking that disrupt sleep. Your therapist can teach you about the things that are helping and hurting your sleep quality and work with you to try new things, track progress, and problem-solve tough issues. You can benefit from CBT-I alongside other necessary treatments for insomnia; which may include addressing medical issues like hormone and neurological conditions.

Feeling groggy in the mornings? The groggy feeling is called sleep inertia and it generally lasts for 15 to 60 minutes, but could last for a few hours. Try out some of these wake-up tips to get yourself going. This, in addition to good sleep hygiene, can help you establish a peak of morning cortisol that declines throughout the day and ends in a relaxed state for bedtime.

Relationship distress and conflict can revolve around many topics. You might find yourself going down a rabbit hole in arguments, never getting the understanding and change you’re fighting for. Couples usually get distracted trying to dissect and fix those problems, but they don’t get to the heart of the problem, the attachment distress, that is driving communication problems and much more. Understanding the Four Cs will help you align on the attachment themes that matter most, and figure out where to focus your healing and repair.

Play is a child’s natural way of making sense of the world. In the playroom, children have a safe space to explore feelings, practice choices, and try out new responses. Karin guides and reflects as children build confidence, flexibility, and the skills to handle big emotions.

You’ve probably heard of CBT! That’s because Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been well studied for a wide variety of problems. ThrivePointe therapists can help you integrate CBT into therapy and can use it in conjunction with other helpful approaches.

Here’s a quick overview of CBT:
Problems develop because distorted or unhelpful thought patterns influence emotions and behaviors. Past experiences, learning histories, or stressful events can lead people to develop maladaptive core beliefs ('I’m worthless,' 'I can’t cope') and negative automatic thoughts.

Problems are maintained over time because people often engage in behavioral avoidance or other coping strategies that prevent disconfirmation of negative beliefs. This creates a reinforcing cycle where distorted thinking, painful emotions, and unhelpful behaviors sustain each other.

People get stuck in patterns of negative or unhelpful feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Change happens when people get the support they need for corrective emotional experiences. A therapist can help you with identifying, challenging, and restructuring distorted cognitions while introducing new behaviors and experiences to test and modify beliefs. You can learn skills to manage distress, regulate emotions, and adopt healthier coping patterns.

Stress comes at us from so many places: the environment around us, social stressors and situational problems, physiological stress like changes during adolescence and menopause, sleep and lack of exercise, and also from our thoughts. Your appraisal of the situation influences your body’s response to stress. Once you decide that a situation is no longer dangerous, your brain stops sending emergency signals to your brain stem — stopping the panic messages. It takes three minutes for the fight-or-flight response to burn out. Even though we cannot change our circumstances or our initial reaction to them; we can learn to notice the stress response, develop resources to cope, and cue the relaxation response to promote the natural restorative response. Watch for cues such as changes in your heart rate, breathing rate, muscle tension, and blood pressure to expand awareness of your stress response.
