Systemic Traumatology Consultation
trauma affects individuals and by extension their relationships. it fuels intractable conflicts, generational entanglement, and a plethora of physical symptoms.
tipping one’s toe into painful layers of trauma may seem like a daunting task. gradual change through measured ‘toe-by-toe’ pacing and synergy of multi-modal approaches is possible. complex trauma needs the integration of the BodySelf, where traumatization has left powerful autonomic responses that shape how we experience the world and how we function.
a systemic traumatology consultation provides inter-relational re-regulation, reframing of outdated adaptive strategies, intentional (re)formation of earned safer attachment, as well as gradual expansion of a trauma-narrowed body-self narrative.
in addition, a systemic map will illuminate how the combined body and heritage experience contribute to a problem(s). within this systemic map (family of origin, lineage, country, collectives, global, etc.) clients gradually explore the territory they already belong to.
this updated map allows to be more embodied and more fluidly move inside and out. as a result, increasingly resourced decisions will lead to more peaceful and restorative travels on smoother roads.
developmental trauma arises in contexts where peril is inflicted or not prevented. then needed adaptive survival repertoires will ongoingly color or define ways of relating to self, others, and the world at large.
human infants and children, the most immature of creatures, have to adapt to any and all early life circumstances. why? to be cared for and protected from peril –– preferably, by those close to them in their homes.
And the homes differ in their socialization practices – also in their assumptions about the basic qualities of a human being.

activist, yoga practitioner, psychologist, mindfulness teacher, medical clinician, parent, school teacher, educator, artist, clergy, counselor, politician, constellation facilitator, coach, bus driver (and more) routinely serve traumatized children and adults whose homes were not safe enough.
some were or are neglectful, some predatory. trauma-informed providers are a blessing for those children and adults. as it turns out, being trauma-informed becomes a blessing for both parties of the mending dialogue.
we offer individual sessions for supervision guidance and case-based consultation to support providers. we also offer tailored group events to address trauma-based dynamics in your team.
