Trauma & PTSD
Trauma work here is paced by you. Nothing gets opened before there is somewhere steady to put it, and you are never required to tell the whole story to be taken seriously.
How It Shows Up
Often it arrives as insomnia, a short fuse, a relationship that keeps going the same way, or a body that reacts before you do.
Before any processing, we build resourcing: grounding, orientation to the present, and skills you can use between sessions. Amber does not push into material you are not steady enough to be in.
You set the pace on what gets discussed and when. Pausing is a legitimate clinical choice, not a setback.
EMDR is one option for memories that still feel loud. Somatic work addresses what the body is holding. Internal Family Systems is useful when different parts of you disagree about whether it is safe to look at any of this. Parts of DBT help when the intensity is the hardest part.
Complex, developmental and single-incident experiences are all in scope, as is trauma connected to medical events, loss, or a relationship.
