Chicago Trauma Therapy

You might feel stuck in old patterns or reacting in ways that don’t fully make sense, but you know something isn’t right. Maybe you feel held back by past experiences you thought you had already healed from. Trauma can shape the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us—often in ways we don’t even realize. Our trauma therapy in Chicago addresses the profound impact of trauma and PTSD using a holistic approach that combines traditional talk therapy approaches like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mind-body practices like somatic therapy and EMDR for trauma. We utilize somatic therapy to facilitate body-based self-regulation skills, as individuals who have experienced trauma often have decreased body awareness. Our holistic trauma therapy approach also includes mindfulness practices to promote present-focused awareness, helping individuals with flashbacks and intrusive thoughts stay in the moment. CBT for trauma helps reframe negative thought patterns, empowering you to reframe your narrative and perspective. Whether you’re dealing with flashbacks, anxiety, or a constant sense of unease, our goal is to help you feel more grounded, safe, and in control of your life. Healing from trauma isn’t just about reducing symptoms—it’s about reclaiming your sense of self, building resilience, and creating space for real transformation.

Gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you”; it’s about feeling the fullness of what’s already here. Take a moment to reflect on the following prompts to guide you in identifying things to be grateful for. You can meditate or visualize these things, or you can journal about them. Enjoy!

Our bodies are not meant to be in fight-or-flight long-term, but due to the fast paced busy lives many of us lead, we can become stuck in fight-or-flight, which is bad for our physical and mental health.

If you give yourself all day to finish something, chances are it’ll take all day. Try setting time limits, prioritizing what matters, and giving yourself permission to stop. Productivity isn’t about working more—it’s about working smarter.

Emotions and moods may feel similar, but they’re not the same. Emotions are intense, short-lived reactions to specific events—like frustration when you hit traffic or joy when you see a friend. Moods, on the other hand, are more long-lasting and less tied to a particular trigger. You might wake up feeling “off” without knowing why. Recognizing the difference can help you manage your emotional well-being with more clarity and self-awareness.
