Trauma Therapy for Veterans — Breathwork & Somatic Regulation

Restore Calm, Safety, and Connection in Your Body

Living with trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected, or unable to fully relax. Veterans often carry invisible wounds—anxiety, hypervigilance, difficulty sleeping, irritability, or physical pain—that make daily life feel overwhelming. This service blends trauma-informed therapy with breathwork and somatic regulation techniques to help you calm your nervous system, release stored tension, and begin to feel at home in your body again.

Who This Service Is For
This service is designed for:
- Veterans navigating post-traumatic stress, combat-related trauma, or service-related transitions
- Individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, or chronic stress after military service
- Those experiencing hypervigilance, dissociation, or difficulty regulating emotions
- Veterans living with insomnia, nightmares, or sleep disturbances
- Anyone feeling disconnected from their body, caught in fight-or-flight responses, or weighed down by past experiences

Who Will Benefit
Clients who want to:
- Find relief from trauma-related symptoms such as flashbacks, panic attacks, or intrusive thoughts
- Improve sleep, reduce irritability, and stabilize mood swings
- Regain a sense of safety in their body after years of feeling on edge
- Ease physical pain and tension connected to trauma (jaw clenching, tight shoulders, chronic back pain, headaches)
- Build resilience and tools to manage stress, overwhelm, and emotional triggers
- Restore connection to themselves, their families, and their daily lives

Benefits of This Service
- Reduce anxiety, hypervigilance, and racing thoughts
- Improve sleep quality and calm nighttime restlessness
- Relieve muscle tension, migraines, and stress-related pain
- Increase emotional regulation and sense of safety
- Support recovery from PTSD and trauma-related conditions
- Feel more grounded, embodied, and connected in daily life

What to Expect
Each session provides a safe, supportive space where you’ll learn how to regulate your body and mind using simple, accessible practices. We’ll work with:
- Breathwork to calm rapid heart rate, ease shallow breathing, and bring your body into balance
- Somatic regulation techniques to gently release stored tension and reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms
- Trauma-informed therapy to help you process experiences without re-traumatization, focusing on resilience and present-moment safety
Sessions are paced according to your comfort level. You’ll leave with practical tools you can use at home to manage stress, reduce overwhelm, and feel more in control of your responses.

Why Choose This Service
This service combines evidence-informed trauma therapy with body-based practices proven to help veterans regulate their nervous system. Instead of only talking about past experiences, you’ll learn skills that directly address how trauma shows up in your body—whether through anxiety, sleep problems, pain, or emotional triggers. The approach is compassionate, grounded, and focused on giving you practical ways to restore calm and resilience.
