Trauma leaves a lasting mark on both the mind and body. Even long after an event, you might experience flashbacks, nightmares, constant tension, or feel on edge without a clear reason. Avoiding certain places or reliving painful memories can become part of daily life. At Healing Roots Psychotherapy, I offer trauma therapy in Troy, MI to help you process these experiences safely and find relief.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma can affect all areas of life. Trauma counseling provides a supportive space where you can confront the past without becoming overwhelmed. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting, I assist clients in reprocessing traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge and no longer control daily living.
EMDR and Brainspotting for Trauma and PTSD in Troy MI
Trauma Symptoms and Impact
Common signs of trauma include:
- Flashbacks and intrusive memories
- Nightmares and intense fear
- Avoidance of reminders
- Hypervigilance and difficulty relaxing
- Emotional numbness or disconnection
- Anger, irritability, and sleep problems
- Shame or self-blame
Trauma also affects the body, keeping the nervous system in survival mode. This may cause physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, muscle tension, or heightened sensitivity to triggers.

How Trauma Therapy Helps
Therapy addresses both emotional and physical effects of trauma. EMDR and Brainspotting help safely reprocess distressing memories, reducing their impact. These therapies work well for both single-event trauma and complex trauma, such as childhood abuse or long-term stress. Therapy fosters self-compassion, breaks harmful patterns, and rebuilds trust and connection.
