Therapists can help adult survivors work through childhood trauma through different modalities. Each individual is unique, and what is effective for someone else may not work for you, and vice versa. Therapists seek to understand your healing goals and help create a safe space for you to explore the trauma and its impact on the present day you, and ensure you are not re-traumatising yourself during the process.

A lot of trauma is stored as trapped emotions in the body as chronic tension and discomfort. Somatic bodywork can help relieve some of the trauma in a very deep way. Below is a list of bodywork therapists who can help you gently move through the trauma that has been frozen in your body, in turn the body process and unburden the mind.
