Healing Emotional Trauma in a Safe, Supportive Space
At our emotional trauma treatment centers, we provide a safe and supportive environment to help you heal. Our programs are designed to guide you through processing emotional trauma and rediscovering your sense of self.
Treating the Root of Trauma
Trauma can stem from a single event or a series of traumatic events that are repeated over a period of time, causing individuals to suffer overwhelming, painful, frightening, or loathing emotions. Experiencing trauma during childhood while the brain is still developing can have severe and long-lasting effects that – if left untreated – can carry over into adulthood. The Meadows is dedicated to treating the root of trauma, helping individuals achieve lasting recovery and reclaim their lives.

Emotional Trauma FAQ
What is emotional trauma?
Emotional trauma can stem from various causes and is the psychological response that causes individuals to suffer overwhelming, painful, frightening, or loathing emotions. Meadows Senior Fellow, Peter Levine, notes that trauma can manifest when the nervous system holds onto energy from an incomplete survival response, leading to various symptoms.
What are the signs and symptoms of emotional trauma?
Emotional trauma can manifest in many different ways, affecting behavior, emotions, and even physical health.
- Emotional: Intense and unpredictable emotions such as depression, anger, fear, guilt, and anxiety are all signs of trauma impacting one’s emotions.
- Behavioral: Emotional trauma can manifest through behavioral concerns such as negative or extreme moods, avoiding anything (people, places, and/or activities) that bring up memories of the traumatic experience, intense reactions to situations that aren’t typically bothersome, hypervigilance, trouble with completely daily tasks, and hyperactivity are all signs of behavioral symptoms caused by emotional trauma.
- Physical: Chronic fatigue and sleep disturbances, changes in eating habits, headaches, stomachaches, changes in heart rate, sweating, and trembling are all ways in which emotional trauma can physically manifest in the body.
How do I know if inpatient or outpatient treatment for emotional trauma is right for me?
The choice between inpatient and outpatient treatment depends on several factors, including the severity of symptoms, level of home support, and daily life functioning.
Inpatient treatment may be right for you if you are experiencing intense symptoms and have difficulty functioning in daily life with little to no structure at home. Outpatient treatment may be a better fit if your symptoms are more manageable and you are able to maintain some daily responsibilities, as well as a more supportive living situation.
