If you are in the Nashville area and seeking support for processing and healing from a traumatic experience, our experienced therapists at Restorative Psychotherapy & Wellness are here to help. We understand that trauma can have a significant impact on an individual's life, and navigating through the healing process can be challenging.

 

Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime, whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.

While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover the effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.

 

In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist are fundamental to healing from trauma.
