Trauma Therapy in Denver, CO.

We believe in a connection-centered, evidence-based approach to trauma therapy.

This is the bread and butter of what we do here! Trauma is stored in the body and can impact us at a cellular level, coloring the lens through which we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. When we strip it down to the root, trauma can be defined as any experience that is too overwhelming for our nervous system to fully process.

What this means is that we all go through trauma — likely many times throughout our lifetime — but many of us hold those experiences alone. We’re passionate about changing that!

 
 
 
 

connection-centered Trauma Therapy

Here at CZ Therapy Group, our approach to trauma treatment might look a little different from the past experiences you’ve had. We recognize that processing through trauma can be a traumatic experience itself if our connection doesn’t feel safe, and affirming, and if you don’t have complete autonomy over our process. Each of those dynamics might mimic the dynamics of the traumatic experience itself. You deserve something different in your trauma therapy experience — a container for all that you’ve been holding by yourself for so long and a safe, compassionate Denver trauma therapist to be in the thick of it with you. We’re honored to hold space for you.

Our trauma therapists in Denver, CO, and online are trained in various evidence-based methods of trauma treatment, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Somatic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy (inner-child work). We work by healing the root of trauma, as opposed to simply treating the ‘symptoms’ we can see on the surface.

trauma can rewire our brains. so can therapy.

What we do here goes so much deeper than just ‘talking it out’ and understanding our trauma from a cognitive place. When we engage in trauma treatment from the root — aka our nervous system — we can create new, healthy neural networks in our brains to replace those that have been impacted by trauma. 

This is where the somatic and experiential therapies our team of trauma therapists is trained in come into play. With a focus on our real-time emotional and body experiences during sessions, the healing and transformation process takes place during the session, rather than talking about the changes you should enact once you walk out of our office door.

how our bodies protect us when we experience trauma

 
 
 
 

Undoing aloneness is the key to trauma healing. 

The reason for this is backed in basic neuroscience! Our nervous systems simply aren’t designed to go through hard things on our own — so much so that our nervous systems often can’t get out of fight or flight mode until we have a safe person to co-regulate with.

Each Denver trauma therapist at CZTG provides trauma therapy through this lens, privileging clients’ sense of safety and working to co-create a unique relationship that serves as the vessel for trauma healing.

The process of undoing aloneness combined with the advanced trainings each of our therapists hold creates a balanced container for clients to heal.

examples of ‘parts’

Younger Self

These parts can be any age under 18, and are typically divided into multiple age groups (teenage you, little you, etc.)

When working with younger parts, we typically focus on experiences or narratives that were traumatic, caused you to not have your needs met, and are still impacting you today.

Protective Parts

These are the parts of you that learned how to keep yourself safe during times of trauma/unmet needs. These parts often develop in childhood. Your protective parts likely still show up today (often in full force), and are typically both adaptive, healthy, and the cause of barriers in adult life.

Oldest, Wisest Present Day Self

This is the part of you that is resilient and capable of meeting the needs of your younger self. This part is adaptive, strong, and represents your most grounded and authentic self. In therapy, we work to connect with this part of you, bring it to the forefront, and utilize its strengths to help the past parts of you find healing.

parts work therapy for trauma

we all have different ‘parts’ of ourselves that play key roles in our lives and relationships.

‘Parts’ represent different aspects of self that have both experienced and persevered through trauma. Parts work therapy is a helpful way to identify the different parts of ourselves, get in touch with the traumas and unmet needs those parts are carrying, and promote healing in the present.

Something cool to note - parts work therapy can actually rewire the traumatized neural networks in our brain and is super effective for healing from trauma.

Trauma Therapy for Dissociation

Ever been on your morning commute only to arrive at work with no memory of driving yourself there? we have too. This is an example of dissociation, and we all experience it to some degree. 

Traumatic experiences, especially when they occur multiple times or over a long period, can lead to a more constant sense of being disconnected from our bodies and the world around us. Our bodies use dissociation as a way to protect us from harm. If we’ve experienced long-term trauma or abuse, our bodies have been working really hard to protect us for a long time. This can sometimes lead to us getting stuck in ‘protection mode’ even when we’re safe, resulting in experiences such as: 

  • difficulty remembering things                     

  • disconnection from actions and emotions 

  • a sense that you exist outside of your body 

  • feeling like the world around you isn’t real 

  • hearing voices in your mind that conflict with each other 

  • struggling to know who you are or what your core personality is like

Do any of these experiences resonate with you? If so, you might be experiencing dissociation. As strange as it might sound, this is actually a good thing!

Without dissociation playing it’s vital role in your day-to-day life, it’s likely that things would have been much too heavy and overwhelming for you to continue on as normal.

With that being said, we also know how difficult it is to live in a body that’s over-functioning and dissociating even when you don’t need it to. That’s where somatic trauma therapy comes in! Our team of Denver therapists specializes in trauma therapy for dissociation. We’d love to support you!
