The imprint of the trauma is in the limbic system and in the brainstem: in our animal brains, not our thinking brains. Words cannot integrate the disorganized sensations and action patterns that come from the core imprint of trauma.- Bessel van der Kolk, 2004. We now know that talk therapy alone does not effectively treat past trauma; in fact, it can actually make things worse.
It is the responsibility of a good therapist to be skilled in a variety of therapeutic models and interventions and to work with each individual client to determine what approaches will work best for that person. Laurie tailors her approach to each client's unique needs by incorporating elements of any or all of these techniques and therapeutic models.
Mindfulness is a very effective technique that can be used in therapy sessions for treatment of past trauma or anxiety or by anyone on their own at any time. Noticing - this is an awareness of sensation, thought, emotion, movement, and external stimuli. Detachment - noticing without "participating" in it or getting swept away by thought, feelings, or the body.
