Trauma Therapy to Help You Heal and Feel Safe Again

Trauma can leave lasting emotional, physical, and psychological effects. You may feel on edge, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in memories that won’t fade. At Better Space, we offer compassionate, evidence-based trauma therapy to help you process painful experiences and regain a sense of safety and control.

Healing is possible — and you don’t have to do it alone.

What Is Trauma?

Trauma occurs when an experience overwhelms your ability to cope. It can result from a single event or repeated exposure to distressing situations.

Examples of trauma include:

  • Physical or emotional abuse

  • Sexual assault

  • Childhood neglect

  • Domestic violence

  • Car accidents

  • Medical trauma

  • Sudden loss

  • Natural disasters

  • Workplace trauma

Trauma affects everyone differently. What feels manageable to one person may deeply impact another.

Common Signs of Trauma

You may benefit from trauma therapy if you experience:

  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories

  • Nightmares

  • Hypervigilance or feeling constantly on edge

  • Emotional numbness

  • Avoidance of certain people or places

  • Irritability or anger outbursts

  • Difficulty trusting others

  • Panic attacks

  • Shame or self-blame

  • Trouble sleeping

These responses are not weaknesses — they are protective survival responses.

How Trauma Therapy at Better Space Works

At Better Space, we move at your pace. Safety and trust are our first priorities.

1. Establish Emotional Safety

We begin by building grounding skills and coping tools so you feel stable before processing deeper trauma work.

2. Process Trauma Gently

Using evidence-based approaches such as:

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

  • Somatic-based therapies

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Attachment-informed therapy

These methods help reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and reframe painful beliefs.

3. Rebuild a Sense of Control

Trauma often disrupts your sense of safety and self-trust. Therapy supports you in:

  • Regulating your nervous system

  • Reducing triggers

  • Strengthening boundaries

  • Rebuilding confidence

  • Restoring connection in relationships
