If you have gone through a traumatic experience, it is normal to feel lots of emotions, such as distress, fear, helplessness, guilt, shame or anger. You may start to feel better after days or weeks, but sometimes, these feelings don’t go away.”Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a traumatic event. A traumatic event is a life-threatening event such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or physical or sexual assault in adulthood or childhood.
Symptoms of PTSD
•Repeatedly thinking about the trauma
•Being constantly alert or on guard
•Avoiding reminders of the trauma

Schez Downey M.A., R.M.T. – Energy Medicine for PTSD
Dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in various forms, can keep you from living the life you want. When you do not pay attention to emotional signals, your body says “Okay, here are some physical signals for you”. Experiencing Reiki and Healing Touch will start you on your path to wellness.
Reiki is a gentle, effective energy healing method, which treats the whole individual, not just the symptoms of the disease. With Reiki, the practitioner uses the healing energy of the universe to flow through her hands to the client, which causes a shift toward health at the deepest levels which restores balance and harmony to the entire being: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing energy therapy. Gentle touch assists in balancing your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Healing Touch works with your energy field to support your natural ability to heal.
Janet L. Cook, C.R.S., C.N.A. – Mind Body Medicine for PTSD
RUBENFELD SYNERGY, BODY-MIND INTEGRATION. Dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in various forms, can keep you from living the life you want. Illness is a reflection of inner problems which disrupt the powerful immune system that is our natural state. Yet, for many people, illness or dis-ease in the body such as PTSD is a wake-up call to create a new, more conscious life.
Through these sessions, I support my clients to develop a deeper awareness of what is unconsciously held in their body. Through talk and touch, I help you to feel better in your body. You will experience a safe place to explore the intricacies of your body’s story, a place where you can begin to let down your guard and enter into the deeper places in your soul. As your awareness grows, you will move through life and in your body with more freedom and direction, experience balance, and feel respect for your body as a container of knowledge that is with you at all times.
Lori Morse MA, LPC – Holistic PTSD Counseling, EMDR
HOLISTIC COUNSELING & PSYCHOTHERAPY As an integrative and holistic counselor, my goal is to help you understand the unpredictable elements in your life, so you can face life changes with a sense of curiosity rather than fear. With compassion and understanding, I work with individuals to help them build on their strengths and recognize life patterns that aren't working, so other options that support positive life change and growth are possible. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to help you understand and resolve challenges in your current life. As a team, we will work with a combination of holistic counseling, psychotherapy, EMDR, guided imagery, and CBT to help in you ongoing healing process.
EMDR is particularly useful for treating PTSD patients by helping to improve ones quality of life. EMDR will address past abuse and traumatic events, relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety, grief and loss, panic attacks, release traumatic memories held on in the body and mind, and improve your overall psychological well being.
I look forward to being a part of your journey to health and healing. Please contact me at 303-324-7939 for a free phone consultation and to schedule your first appointment.
