Are you feeling exhausted before your day even begins? Maybe getting out of bed feels like a struggle. You’ve tried talk therapy, mindfulness, maybe even medications—but still feel stuck. What you’re experiencing may actually stem from unresolved trauma—and that means you need deeper healing, not just surface-level tools.
The Instinctual Trauma Response® (ITR) Method is a groundbreaking approach designed to help clients process and heal from traumatic experiences in a compassionate and structured way. At A New View of You in San Diego, California, I use ITR® therapy to provide rapid relief for individuals coping with trauma and its lasting effects. ITR® therapy at my practice addresses both mind and body, allowing clients to resolve their trauma safely and with minimal risk of retraumatization. Read on to learn more.
- If you’re struggling with substance abuse, you may feel trapped in a cycle of escape—trying to numb emotional pain or silence memories that just won’t fade. The cravings, the shame, the starts and stops—these aren’t signs of weakness; they’re signs that something deeper is asking to be seen and healed. I use the Instinctual Trauma Response® method to help you address substance use not as the problem itself, but as a symptom of unresolved trauma. We go beneath the surface to find the root causes—whether they’re past experiences, emotional wounds, or stored survival responses—and bring relief, resolution, and a sense of control that doesn’t require self-medicating.
- If you’re dealing with depression, it might feel like the light in you has gone dim. You may find yourself withdrawing, losing interest in things you used to love, or constantly feeling like something is wrong with you. But what if these feelings are signals from your nervous system that there’s unprocessed pain from your past still living in your body and mind? ITR® therapy helps bring clarity and release by revisiting and resolving the traumatic moments that often lie beneath depressive symptoms. This process allows you to reconnect with a sense of worth, energy, and purpose—without having to relive the trauma all over again.
- Anxiety can feel like you’re always on edge, constantly anticipating danger or failure, even when things seem “fine.” Your mind races, your body stays tense, and it feels impossible to relax. Often, anxiety is a response to past traumatic experiences that left your nervous system stuck in a state of hyper-alertness. Through ITR®, we work together to resolve those old fear responses and help your brain recognize that the threat is over. You’ll begin to feel safer in your own skin, more grounded in the present, and more confident facing everyday life.
- Intrusive thoughts can be terrifying, especially when they come out of nowhere and feel disconnected from who you are. You might feel ashamed or afraid to share them, fearing what they might mean. But these thoughts are often trauma’s way of expressing what hasn’t yet been processed or given a voice. ITR® therapy helps externalize and organize these internal experiences so they can be safely resolved—not feared or suppressed. The result? Relief, clarity, and freedom from the grip of recurring thoughts that don’t reflect your true self.
All of this work is done securely and confidentially via telehealth. Whether you’re in California, across the country, or even on the other side of the world, you can access this transformative approach to trauma healing from the comfort of your own space. I work with individuals throughout the U.S. and internationally, helping them find peace, resolution, and a new view of themselves—wherever they are.
