Emotional Trauma
Emotional trauma is often the root of addiction and mental health conditions.
Emotional Trauma: What You Need to Know
Emotional trauma can be a significant factor in the development of addiction and mental health conditions. Conditions such as severe depression, anxiety disorders, and even personality disorders have their roots in emotional trauma. However, processing emotional trauma allows you to reconnect with your whole self. There are a number of experiential therapies that offer relief from emotional trauma, including Somatic Experiencing, which was developed by Meadows Senior Fellow Dr. Peter Levine. Somatic Experiencing is just one part of a holistic recovery program that we offer to young adults suffering from emotional trauma and other conditions.

Treating Emotional Trauma
At the Claudia Black Young Adult Center, we conduct assessments to discover your unique treatment needs. We are focused on helping young adults resolve trauma, learn valuable life skills, and develop new coping habits.
Our experiential therapies include neurofeedback, mindfulness practices, equine-assisted psychotherapy, challenge courses, trauma-informed psychodrama, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing. These evidence-based forms of treatment have proven effective in helping to process and overcome emotional trauma. They allow you to reconnect with your whole self. Trauma disrupts that connection to the mind, body, and emotions with pain and negative associations, but we understand how trauma works and know how to rebuild that connection in a positive way.
We also focus on the power of safe communities where young adults can engage with peers in a secure, nurturing environment. Our family program also helps to promote healing for loved ones, who are often the support system that helps a young adult sustain recovery.
You can experience healing from traumatic events that restores your well-being, self-esteem, and willingness to engage in life activities. Fortunately, full recovery is possible and well worth the effort.
