Massage for Survivors of Trauma

raumatizing events—including accidents, surgery, physical abuse, verbal abuse, major life transitions—can take a serious toll on the body, even if the event did not cause physical damage. Safe touch and the caring presence of a therapist can be a powerful healing force.

Through gentle massage, you can...

• Reconnect with and reclaim your body.
• Move toward relieving possible feelings of emptiness and dissociative numbing.
• Develop a compassionate and friendly relationship with your body.
• Experience your body as a resource for grounding and living in the present moment.
• Create a place of safety.
• Rebuild personal boundaries.
• Re-establish positive experiences with your body.

Massage can help establish a feeling of safety. Massage can also be a great adjunct to psychotherapy. Referrals to psychotherapists are available.
