Trauma

Blue Kite Wellness understands that trauma can take many forms and is unique to everyone. Trauma is defined as an event or series of events that overwhelm a person’s physical, emotional, and/or spiritual resources, making it difficult or impossible to cope. The impact of trauma can be profound and can cause us to suffer in isolation, often entangled with shame, blame, guilt, and anger

Our clinicians are trained in trauma-informed care, using evidence-based techniques to alleviate the impact of trauma. We understand that trauma impacts both the body and mind, and we incorporate “bottom-up” techniques, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help process trauma without having to retell the story. We use grounding strategies, guided visualizations, and specific trauma-informed interventions to guide clients through the healing process, helping them set down the heavy burdens they carry and move forward in life unencumbered.

At Blue Kite Wellness, we offer a holistic approach to trauma and provide integrative health approaches, such as mindfulness/meditation, yoga, sound baths, and energy healing, among others. We believe in caring for the whole person, emphasizing the importance of self-care, including nutrition, physical activity, social connection, professional well-being, and hobbies.

When you seek support for trauma at Blue Kite Wellness, we will:

  • Listen, understand, educate, and provide resources to support your self-healing.
  • Provide trauma-informed therapy to help you learn how trauma has manifested in your life physically, mentally, and emotionally.
  • Help you explore your relationship with trauma and how it impacts your actions, decision-making, interactions with others, growth, and challenges in life.
