Heal and Reclaim Your Life with Trauma Therapy San Jose
Trauma can shape the way you view yourself, your relationships, and even the world. Once faced with, it is always underneath, emerging as anxiety, depression, anger, or self-blame. If you have been emotionally injured- whether by childhood, through relationships, or by happenings in life- you do not have to walk through it alone.
With trauma therapy San Jose, I assist people in processing their pain, getting free of unconscious patterns, and returning to being themselves. Healing is attainable, and at Lana Shatil Psychotherapy, I am committed to assisting you at each step of the way.


Understanding Trauma and Its Effects
Under addressed trauma can influence all aspects of your life. It can result in:​​

Recurring sensations of fear, shame, or guilt
Difficulty trusting others or having healthy relationships
Sudden emotional outbursts or extreme mood swings
Self-destructive behaviors, addictions, or avoidance patterns
A profound feeling of disconnection from yourself or others
Such things do not mean that anything is 'wrong' with you. They are common reactions to painful events in life. With emotional trauma counseling, you can start to peel them away, work through what has happened, and begin to heal.
