PTSD
Post-traumatic stress therapy with Brainspotting
NY · NJ · CT · FL
You lived through it. It’s still with you.
People Say It Was a Long Time Ago
Maybe you say it too.
But your body doesn’t agree.
The memories come when you don’t invite them. You’ve built your life around avoiding what sets them off.
The anxiety stays on high alert and won’t come down.
Sleep doesn’t come.
A startle. A smell. A season. A look across the room.
Some days, your mood just drops, and you can’t name why.
There are gaps where the details should be.
And underneath all of that, a quiet hopelessness:
That this is just how it is now and forevermore.
You’ve Been Carrying This Alone for a Long Time
You’ve tried things. All sorts of things.
None of them have reached it.
You’ve stopped trying to explain it. To others, and mostly to yourself.
The shame of still being affected has become its own wound. Some part of you decided you should be past this by now, that still carrying it means something is wrong with you.
The event ended. But the effects haven’t.
I’m So Glad You’re Here
I’m Trish.
I help people through post-traumatic stress.
Still being affected doesn’t mean you’re weak, or that you should be over it by now.
Fight, flight, freeze: that’s what your body dropped into to survive. It did exactly what it was built to do. The problem is: it hasn’t yet gotten the signal it can stop.
That’s not failure. You’ve been through a lot. It makes sense that you’d struggle in the aftermath.
The shame you’ve carried for still hurting was never yours to hold.
I’m here to affirm:
- What happened did affect you
- Your responses make sense
- Life can be better from here forward
Brainspotting Reaches
What Your Body Is Still Living Through
Trauma isn’t only the memory. It’s how your nervous system keeps carrying it.
The stress and tension of the event take a toll, physical and mental, and you end up stuck, spinning your wheels. That’s what disrupts your ability to process it and heal. Sometimes the details get suppressed, out of reach.
The trauma interrupted your brain’s natural ability to process what happened.
Where you look affects how you feel. Brainspotting was built on that.
Together, we find the spot in your field of vision that connects to what’s still active in you. From there, your brain and body do what they’ve been trying to do on their own: let the memories and feelings connected to the event come forward, gently, so the event can finally be accessed, witnessed, and resolved.
Nothing is forced. There’s nothing you have to relive.
Your brain and body bring it forward at their own pace, and I hold the safety while they do.
You don’t have to tell me what happened. You don’t have to remember every part of it.
You just have to show up.
Here’s What I’ve Seen
The re-experiencing stops taking you over the way it did.
The hypervigilance softens.
Sleep comes more easily. You wake up feeling well rested.
Feeling comes back where you’d gone numb. The places you’ve been avoiding start to feel possible again, a little more each time.
You catch yourself in an ordinary moment, just present, not somewhere else.
Your body starts to feel like a place you can live in again. And you’re not carrying it alone anymore.
