Healing from Trauma Happens in Safe and Boundaried Relationship
Trauma can occur as a result of your personal interaction with a stressful, frightening or overwhelming one-off experience or ongoing situation. It can result in nervous system dysregulation symptoms like anxiety, stress, depression, dissociation and chronic fatigue.
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others, and make you feel that your survival is in question. It compromises your capacity to live your life in a healthy and happy way.
But it’s not the essence of who you are and it doesn’t have to be your whole life story. Many things affect your relationship with the world; your genetics, environment, trans-generational family history and your personal story. While you can’t change some of those givens, with an integrative approach you can influence your future so your life isn’t governed by the experience of trauma.
Online trauma recovery sessions -the first step on the road to recovery.
Traditional psychotherapy integrated with established modalities and pioneering approaches for your recovery from stress, trauma and C/PTSD
My approach to supporting your recovery from stress, trauma, and C/PTSD has evolved significantly, moving beyond traditional Psychotherapy into a multi-modality practice. It integrates talk-therapy with established techniques such as Somatic Experiencing, the Rewind Technique, EMDR and Brainspotting, and pioneering approaches like Biofield Tuning and other sound and energy therapies. This combination creates a rich, multifaceted framework for healing, which I have developed in a parallel process with the latest developments in treatment.
My work is also influenced by my professional interests in Attachment Theory, Neuroscience and Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory, as well as my personal fascination with Quantum Theory, Cymatics and other frequency-based medicine.
As a result, I specialise in treating single-event and developmental trauma, attachment disorders, and the overall dysregulation of the mind, body and energy field in quite a unique way.
One key understanding guiding my work is that trauma doesn’t simply reside in the brain as a thought process. The whole body is in essence "mind" with neurotransmitters throughout the body interacting to map your experience. And since our life experiences, including trauma, are also stored in the Human Biofield which permeates and surrounds the body as waves of electrical energy and frequencies, restoring coherence and balance in this field aids in trauma recovery too.
Many of my clients have now experienced the positive impact of this approach which is at the heart of the treatment I offer.
USEFUL STUFF TO KNOW
Fight, flight, freeze and collapse are normal biological reactions to overwhelm
Practicing longer exhales helps regulate your Vagal Nerve which in turn influences major systems in your body like digestion, heart rate and your immune system
Cultivate a routine because routine helps calm the nervous system
Humming and singing are great ways to regulate your Vagal Nerve.
Take ten minutes to watch a video on Trauma and the Nervous System
There are more neurotransmitters travelling between your gut and your brain than your heart and your brain so listen to your gut because its thinking and talking.
Make friends with your brain which adapts to your thoughts and beliefs in a process called Neuroplasticity. It physically contracts in response to stress, anxiety and depression and expands when you’re relaxed and happy
Engage with physic based frequency medicine and raise the vibration of your Biofield; the electrical energy system that powers your body
Words from my clients
“I had unknowingly been carrying a heavy burden of trauma, and had found little relief from the many courses of therapies I had tried in the past. The range of modalities that Karen offers has given me true healing in my body and mind for the first time. This is not only reflected in how I feel but correlates to a measured improvement of my overall health. From Somatic Experiencing techniques to introducing me to Biofield Tuning, her expertise and compassion in guiding me through effective and safe release of stored trauma is giving me the freedom to live my life in a way that is authentic to me.”
Hannah
“I have reached into myself, deeper than I ever thought I could; been exposed and vulnerable and found safety and kindness. For this I am so very thankful. Karen's capacity to see through the stories I tell myself and find the truth of what I need is a marvel. One that has changed my life".
Sandy
"Karen helped me during the worst time in my life when I was in the grips of PTSD. She was part of a team who brought me back from the brink of insanity. She is a dedicated, compassionate and talented therapist whom I hold in the highest regard".
