The origins of almost all PTSD cases go back before the client's birth. All of our day to day mental health struggles occur in the context of ongoing racism, colonialism, economic exploitation, misogyny, homophobia, and other structures of oppression. Any really thorough individual trauma work must at some point address the ways we all carry the legacies of our history in our bodies and minds.

Based on both the most recent research and over a decade of clinical experience, I firmly believe that a huge number of people are misdiagnosed as having "just" depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or other conditions, when they are actually experiencing the long-term effects of Complex PTSD. This is why so many people do not find relief from medications or more superficial therapies and coping skills for these conditions, because they have not yet addressed their trauma.

CBT is a powerful and straightforward therapeutic approach. It teaches people to modify and consciously choose their thoughts, rather than allowing their habitual thoughts to control them or cause them unnecessary suffering.

Internal Family Systems is a very versatile therapy, which is excellent for processing trauma. It is especially helpful for processing the trauma that causes people to periodically feel out of control of their own actions, as is seen in addiction, eating disorders, anger management problems, repeated unhealthy relationship patterns, etc.
