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.
