Find Your Voice, Power, and Whole Self
Trauma Therapy in Lutry, Switzerland
You’ve been carrying so much—memories that surface unexpectedly, emotions too heavy to hold, or a numbness that seems to take over.
You may feel like you don’t deserve the love and care you so freely give to others. Over time, you’ve learned to make yourself small and agreeable to keep the peace, yet it’s left you feeling invisible, exhausted, and disconnected.
Trusting others—or even yourself—feels difficult. You find yourself searching outside for answers, approval, or worth, stuck in survival mode: moving, but not truly living.
If this resonates, you’re not alone. Trauma fragments life, creating distance from yourself and the world. But healing is possible. In trauma therapy, we’ll take small, steady steps toward reconnection, growth, and reclaiming the life you deserve.
Trauma isn’t just the difficult experiences you’ve been through—it’s how those experiences continue to shape how you see yourself, others, and the world. For many, trauma creates patterns of self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. These patterns may have helped you survive at one point, but now they leave you feeling stuck, depleted, and unsure of who you are.
Whether it stems from a single event, repeated stress, or feeling unseen and unsafe over time, trauma often teaches us to prioritize fixing things outside ourselves instead of tending to the pain within. But healing is about learning to shift that focus inward.
What is Trauma?
In trauma therapy, we’ll work together to gently unpack how trauma has impacted you—not to relive the pain, but to understand it and help you reclaim your life.
What We’ll Work On Together
Trauma therapy isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about learning to live fully in the present. Together, we’ll work on:
Gently processing the emotions tied to your experiences in a way that feels manageable.
Reconnecting with your values and giving yourself permission to prioritize them.
Challenging the patterns of thought and behavior—like people-pleasing and self-abandonment—that keep you stuck.
Building relationships and boundaries that honor your needs and protect your energy.
Cultivating self-compassion and a sense of safety in your body.
“Trauma teaches you to close up your heart and armor up. Healing teaches you to open your heart and boundary up.” - Unknown
How Trauma Therapy Can Help
Healing from trauma is about rediscovering the parts of yourself you’ve had to suppress, like your voice, needs, and desires. Together, we’ll untangle survival patterns—like self-abandonment or people-pleasing—so you can start showing yourself the care you give to others.
Trauma often leaves us feeling powerless, but therapy can help you reclaim your voice and sense of self. We’ll explore how your experiences have shaped you, at your own pace, and consider the deeper questions: Who am I now? How do I rebuild? What truly matters?
By reconnecting with your values and purpose, you can move toward a life that feels grounded, free, and authentically yours. Along the way, I’ll provide tools to manage stress, triggers, and overwhelm, helping you regain a sense of control.
