Body-Oriented Trauma Therapy in Ontario and Germany
Holding space for body and nervous system
— WHEN TRAUMA remains
Perhaps you know the feeling of ...
constantly carrying tension and feeling like you’re just getting through the day on autopilot
sleeping too much or too little, and feeling completely exhausted.
finding it hard to open up to others, even though you long for connection.
feeling overwhelmed by situations that others seem to find "normal."
being disconnected from your body, as though you aren’t fully present.
being suddenly overwhelmed by old memories or images, even though you thought you had moved past it long ago.
All of these can be reactions to experiences that were too much or too overwhelming. Even if what happened is long in the past, it can still be felt today – in your body, in your relationships, in your family life, or on the job.
"Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness."
— Peter Levine

Online Sessions
If my office is too far away, or if you feel more comfortable at home, we can work together online. I use PHIPA compliant as well as EU data protection compliant platforms.
Your nervous system is with you, wherever you are. All you need is a quiet space and a stable connection. We’ll create the rest together.
Here is what you need for online sessions:
A quiet place

— Welcome
Perhaps you have already had some experience with therapy. Perhaps you are just beginning your journey. Whatever has brought you here: Welcome!
I am Susanne Reinhold, Registered Social Worker in Ontario and "Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie" with a physical practice in Dresden, Germany and an online practice for clients in Ontario.
I am here to support you: within a framework that respects you and your unique experience, and where safety is not assumed, but created together.
— MY APPROACH
How I work.
Safety
Before we turn our attention to something difficult, we look at what helps you feel grounded and safe in the here and now.
At your own pace
You don't have to force anything or achieve anything. We will go step-by-step, at your own pace.
Space for silence
Words are not the only pathway. If something inside you has no words, we will listen in other ways.
