A Safe, Private, Clinically Advanced Environment for Deep Trauma Healing
PTSD & Trauma Treatment at Reflections
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and unresolved trauma can affect every part of life — mood, sleep, relationships, concentration, self-worth, physical health, and emotional balance. Whether trauma stems from childhood experiences, military service, relationships, sexual violence, medical events, or chronic stress, its effects can remain long after the event itself.

At Living at Reflections, we provide a luxury residential environment where clients receive comprehensive, trauma-informed treatment rooted in compassion, neuroscience, emotional safety, and personalized care. Our program blends advanced psychotherapy, psychiatric support, somatic healing, and holistic wellness to help clients process trauma at a pace that feels safe and supported.

We specialize in treating PTSD, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), acute trauma, chronic trauma, developmental trauma, and trauma combined with substance use or mental health conditions — offering deep healing in a quiet, restorative setting.

🌿 What Is Trauma? What Is PTSD?

Trauma is any experience that overwhelms the nervous system’s ability to cope. Trauma is not defined by the event itself, but by the emotional and physiological impact it leaves behind.

PTSD develops when trauma overwhelms the brain’s ability to integrate the experience, leading to ongoing symptoms such as hypervigilance, panic, flashbacks, avoidance, and emotional overwhelm.

Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) develops over time from repeated or long-term trauma such as:

  • Childhood emotional neglect

  • Physical or sexual abuse

  • Abandonment

  • Domestic violence

  • Military trauma

  • Prolonged exposure to chaos

  • Chronic invalidation or unsafe environments

At Reflections, we recognize how trauma shapes the brain, body, and emotional world — and we treat the whole system, not just the symptoms.

🔬 Our Trauma-Informed Treatment Model

Healing trauma requires emotional safety, clinical expertise, and a deeply supportive environment. Our approach integrates neuroscience, somatic work, and relational healing.

🧠 1. Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy (Multiple Sessions Weekly)

Our trauma specialists use evidence-based modalities including:

✔ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

One of the most researched and effective treatments for trauma.

✔ Somatic Experiencing

Releases trauma stored in the body and nervous system.

✔ Trauma-Focused CBT

Helps restructure painful beliefs tied to traumatic events.

✔ Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Heals the inner parts affected by trauma.

✔ Psychodynamic Therapy

Addresses trauma that impacts identity and relationships.

✔ Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Builds emotional grounding and awareness.

All therapy is paced carefully to ensure stabilization and emotional safety.

🧘‍♀️ 2. Somatic & Nervous System Regulation

Trauma is not only a psychological experience — it is a physiological one. Many survivors live in fight, flight, or freeze mode without realizing it.

We incorporate:

  • Somatic experiencing

  • Breathwork

  • Trauma-sensitive yoga

  • Massage therapy

  • Chinese medicine & acupuncture

  • Cold plunge & sauna (optional)

  • Nature therapy

  • Grounding & sensory exercises

These help regulate emotions, reduce hypervigilance, and restore internal safety.

💛 3. Compassionate Processing of Shame, Fear, and Self-Blame

Trauma often leaves survivors with painful internal narratives:

  • “I should have done something differently.”

  • “Why did this happen to me?”

  • “I can’t trust myself or others.”

  • “I’m broken.”

  • “I’m not safe.”

Our therapists help clients:

  • Reframe trauma responses

  • Rebuild emotional safety

  • Strengthen internal resilience

  • Develop self-compassion

  • Reconnect with their identity and worth

  • Differentiate past danger from present reality

Healing shame is central to trauma recovery.

💬 4. Relationship & Attachment Healing

Trauma often damages trust in relationships, leading to:

  • Emotional withdrawal

  • Fear of intimacy

  • Hypervigilance in relationships

  • People-pleasing

  • Fear of abandonment

  • Emotional numbing or detachment

  • Difficulty expressing needs

We help clients rebuild:

  • Secure attachment patterns

  • Healthy boundaries

  • Emotional connection

  • Self-trust

  • Communication skills

💊 5. Psychiatric Support (When Needed)

PTSD and trauma frequently coexist with:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Panic disorder

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Sleep disorders

  • Substance use

Our psychiatric team provides:

  • Diagnostic evaluation

  • Medication support for stabilization

  • Bipolar spectrum symptoms

  • Personality disorder traits
