My Approach

After a traumatic event, many people feel they are unable to move on with their lives. They experience anxiety, avoidance, sleep problems, and flashbacks to the traumatic event. In essence, their whole perspective of the world shifts dramatically and they feel they are unable to get out of this ongoing living nightmare.

The approach I co-authored with Dr. Eric Gentry, "The Trauma Practice Approach", is a time-tested, CBT-based approach, focused on helping you get better. There are 3 main steps: Harness Calm; Work Through Trauma Memories; and re-engage in life.

Testimonials

"Hi Dr. Baranowsky - thank you for your tremendous work with trauma. I have found such great value in your information and podcasts. I was actually diagnosed with Complex PTSD compiled from childhood trauma and unresolved grief, not to mention work related stress. And of course, I live in Albuquerque NM and really finding a difficult time finding a therapist or practitioner that really knows how to deal with these issues. Any advice or suggestions you can provide would be so grateful as this is such a difficult journey to take alone. I was also one of the first women wildland firefighters and fought fire for 20+ years which has certainly contributed to my situation. Thank you so much ..." B.L., Regional Wildland Firefighter Health and Safety Specialist and former wildland firefighter x 20 years.
