The Trauma Recovery Experience

____

You're Not Crazy. You're Traumatized.

And Healing Is Possible.

You've tried to outrun it. Outwork it. Out-pray it. Out-think it.

But it's still there.

The anxiety that won't quit. The reactions you can't explain. The patterns you keep repeating even though you swore you'd never go back there again.

Maybe you've been told you're "too sensitive." Maybe you've been told to just "let it go" or "move on." Maybe you've told yourself those things.

But here's what no one told you:

Your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do. It's trying to protect you from something that happened—maybe years ago, maybe decades ago—and it doesn't know the danger has passed.

That's not crazy. That's trauma.

And trauma can heal.

Introducing: The Trauma Recovery Experience

3 Hours of Focused Healing. Real Tools. Lasting Change.

This isn't talk therapy where you rehash your story for months without progress. This is intensive, focused work designed to help you understand what's happening in your brain and body—and give you practical tools to find freedom.

In your 3-hour session, Dr. Michael Smalley will help you:

✅ Understand your trauma response — Why your brain reacts the way it does (and why it's not your fault)

✅ Identify your triggers — The hidden connections between past wounds and present reactions

✅ Learn grounding techniques — Practical tools to calm your nervous system when it's hijacked

✅ Break the shame cycle — You're not broken. You're wounded. There's a difference.

✅ Create a path forward — Specific next steps for your continued healing journey

Here's what that actually looks like:

Example 1 — Processing a Trigger:

You: "I just had a massive reaction to something my boss said. I'm shaking and I don't know why. It wasn't even that big of a deal."

Dr. Smalley: "First, take a breath. What you're experiencing is your nervous system recognizing something familiar—probably a tone or dynamic that echoes something from your past. It makes total sense that your body reacted before your brain could catch up. Can you identify what specifically triggered you? Was it the words, the tone, or the context? Let's figure out what your body is trying to protect you from."

Example 2 — Middle of the Night Anxiety:

You: "It's 2am and I can't sleep. The thoughts won't stop. I feel like everything is falling apart."

Dr. Smalley: "I'm glad you reached out instead of spiraling alone. What you're experiencing is your brain in threat-detection mode—it's scanning for danger because something activated it. Here's what I want you to try: 5-4-3-2-1 grounding. Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can hear, 3 you can touch, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste. This helps bring your brain back to the present. Text me what you notice."

Example 3 — Relational Conflict:

You: "I just blew up at my husband again over something stupid. I hate who I become. Why can't I stop doing this?"

Dr. Smalley: "You're not a monster. You're a traumatized person whose nervous system got hijacked. The fact that you're aware of it and hate it tells me your heart is good—you're just fighting a brain that learned to protect itself in ways that don't serve you anymore. Let's unpack what happened. What was the 'something stupid'? Often there's a deeper trigger hiding underneath."

This is real support in real time—not a chatbot, not a form response. It's Dr. Smalley in your corner when you need it most.

For Couples: When Trauma Is Affecting Your Relationship

Unresolved trauma doesn't just affect you—it affects everyone close to you. If trauma is derailing your relationship, we can work together as a couple.

The Couples Trauma Recovery Experience uses the "5 Ways Unresolved Trauma Is Derailing Your Relationship" framework to address:

Emotional disconnection and walls
Triggering each other without understanding why
Conflict patterns rooted in past wounds
Intimacy struggles (emotional and physical)
Trust issues that won't resolve

Same investment. Same 3 hours. Focused on healing together.

The Cost of Staying Stuck

Every day you live with unprocessed trauma is another day of:

Reactions you can't control
Relationships strained by patterns you don't understand
Anxiety that steals your peace
Shame that tells you something is wrong with YOU

There's nothing wrong with you. Something wrong happened TO you.

And it's time to heal.
