Perth Trauma Therapy — Nilanthi Therapy

TRAUMA THERAPY

I am a trauma informed EMDR level 2 certified (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing )therapist

When appropriate EMDR is used along with other therapeutic models such as Attachment Theory , Narrative and Gestalt as well as drawing from understandings such Internal Family Systems and Emotional Focussed Therapy with a Mindful Somatic based awareness

I work with Birth Trauma, PTSD, Childhood Trauma and Attachment Trauma to name a few.

When any kind of trauma is experienced we try to cope by responding from a state of “fight, flight, freeze or fawn”. The above methods are used understand these responses with the client’s permission to bring awareness ,find peace, make new meaning and be empowered in new making choices in life

Birth Trauma -Your own or in the experience of giving birth to your child

PTSD- post traumatic stress disorder is where after a prolonged time period a past trauma is triggered with intense emotional and physical reactions and continues to impact your quality of life

Childhood trauma -where a child experiences lack of care, love, appropriate affection and validation

Attachment trauma -where you experience trauma as an infant or child when the primary caregiver is not able to provide adequate care, comfort and affection .

Vicarious trauma where you (often as a therapist, caregiver or similar role )experiences emotional residue due to exposure to other’s traumatic experiences.
