Tampa Bay Center of Relational Psychology

Trauma Therapy and PTSD

Healing begins when your story is met with understanding, not judgment.

At the Tampa Bay Center for Relational Psychology, we understand that trauma leaves more than memories — it can change how you feel, think, and connect with the world. The past can show up in unexpected ways: anxiety, emotional numbness, irritability, or feeling unsafe even when life seems calm. You don’t have to carry it alone. Our therapists provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy designed to help you find safety, restore trust, and move forward with confidence.

Understanding Trauma and PTSD

Trauma can occur after any distressing or life-threatening event — such as abuse, accidents, medical experiences, or loss. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) develops when the mind and body remain stuck in survival mode long after the danger has passed.
Even years later, reminders of what happened can trigger intense emotional or physical reactions. Therapy helps your nervous system learn that you are safe again — allowing healing and connection to return

Trauma can look different for everyone, but common symptoms include:

Therapy helps uncover the root causes of these patterns and teaches you how to break free from the cycle of fear and avoidance.

Our Relational Approach to Healing

At TBCRP, therapy is a relationship built on trust, empathy, and presence. We take a relational and attachment-based approach, which means we see healing as something that happens in connection, not isolation. You don’t have to face your trauma alone. Within the therapeutic relationship, you can experience what it feels like to be seen, believed, and supported—often for the first time since the trauma occurred.
