Living with Trauma Can Feel Overwhelming
Trauma therapy is counseling that helps you process overwhelming or frightening experiences in a safe, supported way. It focuses on reducing symptoms like anxiety, flashacks, dissociation, or emotional numbness while rebuilding a sense of safety, connection, and trust in yourself, others, and the world.
Trauma leaves more than memories. It changes how you see yourself, how you show up in relationships, and how safe you feel in the world around you. For many, the aftereffects linger, creating symptoms of PTSD, ongoing anxiety, depression, or a reliance on substances or other harmful behaviors to cope.
At (Re)Connect in Towson, MD, we believe healing starts with connection. Our work is about helping you reconnect with yourself, rebuild trust in relationships, and find safety in a world that may not always feel safe. Whether you are seeking individual trauma therapy, couples support, or deeper relationship work, our team is here to guide you toward meaningful healing.
What is trauma therapy?
The Signs That Trauma Is Affecting Your Life
Trauma can stay hidden for years, but it often shows up in daily patterns that feel impossible to ignore. You may notice yourself:
Reliving painful memories or experiencing flashbacks
Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled
Avoiding people, places, or situations that remind you of the past
Struggling to trust or connect in relationships
Using substances or other coping tools to numb painful feelings
These patterns are not signs of failure. They are signals that your nervous system is still working hard to protect you. Trauma therapy at (Re)Connect can help you find safety and balance within yourself again.
How does PTSD therapy work?
PTSD therapy helps you understand how trauma has affected your body, thoughts, emotions, and relationships. At (Re)Connect, we use trauma-informed, experiential approaches—such as EMDR and attachment-focused work—to process painful memories, calm the nervous system, and develop tools so you feel less triggered and more grounded in daily life.
How Therapy Works Here
-
Your work with us begins with an in-depth intake session where we learn about your history, symptoms, strengths, and the impact trauma has had on your life. This helps us create a tailored plan that meets you exactly where you are.
-
Before any trauma processing begins, we focus on building emotional safety, grounding skills, nervous-system regulation, and trust in the therapeutic relationship. Stabilization ensures you feel supported, resourced, and capable of staying present during deeper work.
-
Once you feel stable and ready, we gently explore and process traumatic experiences using approaches such as EMDR, experiential methods, somatic awareness, and attachment-based therapy. Processing is always paced according to your comfort level, never rushed.
-
As you move through processing, we focus on integrating new insights, shifting long-held patterns, and repairing the ways trauma has impacted your relationships, sense of identity, boundaries, and emotional responses.
-
Healing from trauma is not linear. We provide ongoing support as you practice new skills, navigate daily life, and continue rebuilding connection, to yourself, to others, and to the world around you.
If you’re here, it’s likely you’ve already told yourself: Something has to change. You may be tired of avoiding relationships that matter, being triggered by everyday situations, or holding yourself together on the outside while feeling lost inside. You’re ready to reconnect with yourself and the people around you in healthier, safer ways.
How (Re)connect Therapy Center Helps
At (Re)Connect, we offer a space that is compassionate and supportive while also inviting growth. Our team has extensive experience in trauma recovery, addiction services, and relational therapy, which allows us to address not just the symptoms of trauma but its impact on your relationships.
We use experiential and attachment-based therapies that go beyond traditional talk therapy. Whether you come to us for individual therapy, couples therapy, or intensives, we’ll help you create a sense of safety and trust, while also encouraging the kind of change that lasts.
What’s the difference between trauma and complex trauma?
Trauma often refers to a single overwhelming event, while complex trauma usually develops from repeated or ongoing experiences—such as chronic abuse, neglect, or relational harm over time. Complex trauma can affect identity, relationships, and emotional regulation more deeply, which is why it often requires slower, relational, long-term healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you treat complex trauma and childhood trauma?
Yes. We specialize in supporting clients with complex trauma, childhood trauma, attachment wounds, relational trauma, and long-term emotional patterns shaped by early experiences. Therapy is paced gently and grounded in safety.
-
Is trauma therapy safe if I’ve never talked about my past before?
Absolutely. You never have to share anything before you feel ready. We begin with stabilization, grounding, and emotional safety so that when you choose to explore your past, you feel supported, in control, and resourced.
-
How long does PTSD treatment typically take?
Treatment length varies depending on your history, symptoms, and goals. Some clients find relief within a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support, especially with complex trauma. We move at your pace, not on a timeline.
-
Do you provide superbills for insurance?
Yes! We are an out-of-network provider and you can absolutely use your insurance if your plan includes out-of-network coverage (most PPOs)! We will provide you with a monthly document (called a “superbill”) that you can send to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many of our clients receive at least 50% back from their insurance companies.
-
Can trauma therapy help if my symptoms don’t seem “big enough”?
Yes. Trauma is not defined by how “big” an event seems, it’s defined by how your nervous system had to adapt to overwhelming experiences. If you feel stuck, disconnected, anxious, reactive, or emotionally numb, trauma-informed therapy can help.
-
Do you offer EMDR, somatic work, or experiential therapies?
Yes. Our clinicians are trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt Therapy, Schema Therapy, expressive arts therapy, somatic elements, and experiential approaches. We tailor the method to what feels safest and most effective for you.
