Really good trauma work includes being in a deep state of relaxation/trance/flow state before connecting to the painful parts of ourselves we have packed away in the unconscious mind. We have to bypass our intellectual defenses and regulate our nervous system so we can be safe enough to enter that calm state where the work is done. My deep dive trauma work combines combines acupuncture, hypnotic techniques, EMDR, Parts work and somatic work through a psychodynamic lens.
The good news is you have probably put yourself in the state many times and part of you already knows how to go there.

It's impossible to talk about this time in America without discussing the collective trauma we are experiencing especially as we are being told to believe a different story than what our eyes and ears tell us. Please take good care of yourself during this and name your feelings, give them space, and give them a physical outlet. Most of all stand by yourself and your experience.

Short video about the stages of deep dive trauma work and some of the techniques included. I utilize techniques that I have learned in EMDR training, hypnosis training, and I draw from psychodynamics and parts work and somatic therapies and acupuncture also! Whew! I hope it demystifies trauma work and explains some of the processes.

So excited that this is happening tonight!

Trauma-informed (and trauma-competent!) yoga begins Wednesday January 14th 2026 at Green Door Vitality & Wellness with Sophia Fokas, LCMHC.
 
Join us Wednesday evenings at 7PM for gentle movement, nervous system regulation and building safety and resilience through breath and somatic awareness.

Winter is a great time to nourish the soothing Yin of the body, which helps us balance and control becoming overheated in the physical or mental sense.

This practice is open to all levels and is a safe and supportive space to reconnect with your own body, at your own pace.  The style will be a restorative flow that winds down into yin poses. Great for anyone feeling stress anxiety overwhelm or disconnection.

$22. Limited spots. Sign up at greendoorvitality.com
