Trauma is not only what happened, it is how the nervous system learned to protect you afterward. That can show up as hypervigilance, poor sleep, flashbacks, numbness, or a body that stays braced long after the danger has passed. If talk alone has not been enough, it is often because trauma lives in the body as much as the mind.
A whole-person approach to trauma
At Sphosh Health we treat trauma and PTSD as a mind and body state. Alongside psychotherapy, we pay close attention to the physical side of a dysregulated nervous system: sleep, stress physiology, nutrition, and the medical factors that keep the body on alert. Helping the body feel safe again often makes the emotional work more possible.
Evidence-based care, honestly matched
Structured, evidence-based trauma therapies such as EMDR and trauma-focused therapy have strong support, and we are direct about that. If your trauma is complex or severe, we will help make sure you are matched with the right depth of specialized trauma care, and we can work alongside it on the whole-person and medical side rather than in place of it.
What we look at
- How trauma is showing up in your body, sleep, and daily life
- Nervous-system regulation and stress physiology
- Whether anxiety, low mood, or insomnia are traveling with it
- Nutritional and medical factors that affect resilience and recovery
