I am dedicated to helping my clients move through their traumatic emotional landscapes,
allowing them to resolve problems and realize thier visions for a vibrant, authentic self.

Dawn Angel Averitt & Phases Trauma  is a unique set of compassionate treatment practices that address issues such as:

  • Trauma, resulting from abuse, falls, motor-vehicle accidents, severe illness
  • PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
  • Chronic pain
  • Emotional overwhelm, manifesting as anxiety, irritability, hopelessness, anger issues, or feelings of disconnection
  • Addiction
  • Relationship issues, including fear of intimacy or trusting others, sexual problems or repeating unhealthy behaviors
  • Stress due to life-threatening illnesses, such as HIV, cancer, heart disease, diabetes or immune system disorders

Somatic experiencing works in a setting similar to traditional psychotherapy. However, the focus is on the client’s neurophysiological responses to their experiences, rather than on the content of those experiences per se.

The focus flows between our stories and the somatic experiencing of those stories, with a clear focus on the latter. By exploring the client’s somatic landscapes, we delve into rich uncharted lands often yielding deep discovery. It is in this process of revealing that the emotional charge of trauma can be understood, experienced and discharged.

It is this somatic body of memory that must be allowed to re-engage in a healthier, more adaptive way with the present and emerge into a future of hope, opportunity, and joy.
