Trauma can be due to direct individual experience. That trauma can also be systemic, or intergenerational in nature. Trauma hugely impacts the body and mind. It can affect a person’s memory and brain development, sense of safety, ability to ask for help and voice preferences, as well as diminish one’s capacity to regulate emotions and experience trust in relationships.
Experiencing trauma can also lessen a person’s comfort in interacting with healthcare providers. Considering the prevalence of trauma and its wide-reaching impacts, we can understand how important it is for a massage therapist to apply the principles of trauma-informed practice in their sessions.
If you’re looking for trauma-informed massage therapy, please consult your mental health professionals and give us a call at 769-231-9414 today.
