Defining: Health, Trauma, & Healing
Hello! Recently, Coriander Living Collective made website updates adding Stephanie Larson, MSW, MN LICSW, WI LCSW to our practice, adding language on Health, Trauma, & Healing, and a page on EMDR & Brainspotting. Take a look!
As humans, health is our natural state. We are whole-body systems with physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, behavioral, social, and psychological parts. Health is having all aspects of us integrated and functioning well.
When we encounter threat or overwhelm it can be too much for our whole-body system to integrate. This lack of integration can lead to symptoms or trauma responses (i.e. sleep issues, low mood, anxiety, irritability, etc.). Trauma is injury to the whole-person system that may leave us feeling stuck, rigid, fearful, or unable to let something go.
Healing is integration and resolution of symptoms. When you heal, you grow. Psychotherapy encourages integration and healing through presence, psychoeducation, skill development, insight, and by applying neurologically based, body-brain treatments such as EMDR and BRAINSPOTTING.
