Trauma looks different for everyone. When I first started my career, I made some mistakes. I was trained to think about trauma in a particular way, i.e. physical and sexual abuse, abject poverty, combat. Our understanding of trauma has expanded over the past 20 years. I now conceptualize trauma differently and recognize that the field’s traditional approach of talk therapy isn’t always for everyone or isn’t enough. Despite having obtained further training in mind-body approaches, I still felt like there must be something else.
