A Different Type of Therapy
At Pacific Trauma Treatment Center you will experience a unique therapeutic approach that integrates both Eastern and Western health care practices.
From the West, cutting edge Evidenced Based Protocols (those scientifically proven effective) are used to bring about symptom relief as quickly as possible.
From the East, holistic healing practices are used to help identify and release emotional holding from the body, build a more positive mindset, increase internal focus and awareness, and balance energy.
This multi-layered approach to treatment strengthens and deepens the healing process, allowing for a more full and transformational experience.
Trauma Specialty
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition which occurs when there is an interruption of the body and mind’s natural healing process.
Following a trauma, research shows individuals who receive enough emotional, mental and spiritual support to process the trauma will heal. However, when trauma occurs and circumstances do not present the person with enough (or any) time, tools and support to heal, the body and mind cannot resolve the traumatic experience.
At Pacific Trauma Treatment Center the Evidenced Based Protocols used in treatment are proven effective in significantly, and often completely, reducing symptoms. These evidenced based modalities incorporate neuro-science techniques that allow the root cause of symptoms to be identified and deeply healed on a brain level. When we heal on a brain level, the physical, emotional, mental and energetic connections to pain and trauma have a chance to actually resolve leaving you feeling transformed.
Additionally, adding Holistic Healing Practices into your therapy sessions can help you ground, center, anchor a sense of peace and greater openness into your physical body and mindset, help boost your immune system and energy levels, and give you effective coping skills to carry with you for any future bumps in the road life throws at you.
It is important to note that what is true about healing trauma is also true about Pain Points (Experiences that may not rise to the level of PTSD but were still painful and still effecting you. Feeling stuck, unhappy, anxious, angry or having other symptoms that block your ability to feel open and productive, indicate something is unresolved that can be further healed in very much the same way trauma can, so that you can thrive.
Our Focus
Our focus will be helping you pinpoint the experiences you have gone through which, for a variety of reasons, have not been fully digested and assimilated.
These unresolved emotional experiences are the basis for symptoms such as anxiety, depression, irritability, inability to concentrate, and limitations in one’s ability to function and communicate effectively in relationships.
Initial sessions will focus on identifying the underpinnings of your symptoms. Once identified, you will be led through a process of healing which includes:
~ Attaining a deeper and more complete understanding of how the experience affected you and how it is connected to your symptoms.
~ Assistance in healing the unresolved components of the experience on each level effected (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually).
~ Guidance in extracting wisdom and insights from the experiences so that what was once a source of pain can be transformed into the strongest and most profound building blocks of knowledge, resilience and sense of purpose you have in your life moving forward.
