Trauma can be defined as the result of unprocessable stress.

Stress is normal, and most stress can be processed. It's a part of normal life.

But if there is something about the trauma that is too much for the brain, the organism, to process, then what remains in the system is trauma.

What stress one person can process, heal from, recover from, is not the same as the stresses another person can manage quite easily. The difference can be personal, and may have much to do with early development and nurturing.

To repeat Charles Bukowski from our front page:

"Pain is strange. A cat killing a bird, a car accident, a fire.... Pain arrives, BANG, and there it is, it sits on you. It's real. And to anybody watching, you look foolish. Like you've suddenly become an idiot. There's no cure for it unless you know somebody who understands how you feel, and knows how to help."

We offer careful, flexible trauma interventions.

We offer a range of different integrated high quality therapies, carefully tailored both to the needs of the client and the type of trauma concerned.
