Trauma Informed Therapy in Maryland
When we experience trauma, our sense of personal safety is the first thing to go. That’s because the functions our brains use to keep us safe from life-threatening danger often become overactive. This can create challenges within our families and all of our relationships. If you have experienced trauma and any of the following as a result, you might benefit from EMDR Therapy.

Feeling unsafe often

Angry outbursts
Repeatedly choosing partners that don’t value you
