As a humanistic, cognitive therapist trained in family therapy with a systems approach, I learned through my work in post-disaster settings that trauma cannot be resolved through classic "talk therapy. A deep dive into learning about trauma led me to integrate Somatic Experiencing into my sessions with clients. I learned to acknowledge suffering as part of life and to approach trauma sensitively and respectfully through a somatic, spiritual lens. During therapy and integration sessions I offer body-mind-spirit awareness with others, using mindfulness and somatic techniques to assist with trauma resolution when appropriate.
