🌿 5 Signs You May Benefit from Trauma Therapy

Trauma doesn't always look the way we expect it to. You don’t have to have gone through something “big” for it to affect your body, mind, or relationships. If you’ve ever wondered whether trauma therapy (like EMDR) might help, here are 5 signs to consider:

1. You React Strongly to Things Others Brush Off

If your emotional reactions sometimes feel “too big”, like getting easily overwhelmed, panicked, angry, or shut down, it may be your nervous system still responding to past stress or hurt.

2. You Have Trouble Feeling Safe or Relaxed

Do you find yourself always on edge? Struggling to fall asleep, relax in silence, or trust others? These can be signs your body hasn’t fully processed past experiences and is still on high alert.

3. You Avoid Certain People, Places, or Memories

You might steer clear of situations that remind you of something painful, even if it happened a long time ago. Avoidance is a common and protective response to trauma.

4. You Struggle with Low Self-Worth or Guilt

Unprocessed trauma can quietly tell us harmful stories like “It was my fault,” “I should have been stronger,” or “I’m not good enough.” Therapy can help challenge and heal these beliefs.

5. You Feel Numb or Disconnected

Sometimes trauma doesn’t show up as anxiety, it shows up as nothing. Feeling detached from your emotions, your body, or even people you love may be a sign of dissociation or emotional shutdown.

The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck.
Our licensed therapists specialize in trauma-informed therapy and EMDR, powerful tools to help you feel safe, seen, and whole again.

Reach out to us at Durand & Associates to schedule a consultation. Whether you're ready to dive in or just curious, we’re here.
