Trauma
Healing from What You've Been Through
Trauma isn't just about what happened to you - it's about what's still happening inside you as a result. If you've experienced childhood abuse, sexual assault, a car accident, the sudden loss of a loved one, domestic violence, or any event that left you feeling unsafe, overwhelmed, or changed, those experiences can continue to affect you long after they're over. You might find yourself replaying the event, feeling on edge, avoiding reminders, or struggling with relationships and trust. Trauma can make you feel broken, but here's the truth: your responses to trauma are normal reactions to abnormal events. Healing is possible, and you don't have to carry this weight alone.
How Trauma Affects Your Life
Trauma can show up in countless ways - flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, difficulty trusting others, emotional numbness, anger outbursts, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the world around you. You might avoid places, people, or situations that remind you of what happened, which can significantly limit your life. Many trauma survivors experience anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and physical symptoms like chronic pain or fatigue. Trauma changes how your brain processes safety and threat, which means you might feel constantly on edge or struggle to feel present in your own life. These responses aren't signs of weakness - they're your nervous system's attempt to protect you. With the right support, you can process what happened and reclaim your sense of safety and peace.
Trauma-Informed Care That Honors Your Journey
At Landry Therapy Group, we specialize in trauma-informed therapy that prioritizes your safety, choice, and healing at your own pace. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based trauma treatments including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting, and trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We understand that healing from trauma isn't linear, and we never push you to share more than you're ready to. Instead, we create a compassionate, supportive environment where you can process your experiences, develop grounding and coping skills, and gradually move from surviving to thriving. Whether your trauma is recent or happened years ago, whether it was a single event or ongoing experiences, we're here to help you heal. We offer both in-person trauma therapy in Mansfield and virtual sessions throughout Texas.
