Sharon Hancock has been my therapist for years. After many years in therapy, meeting her was a turning point in my life that truly changed it. I also have had the chance to work in supervision with her for my work as a therapist. Sharon is the most outstanding therapist I have ever worked with. She is extremely experienced, insightful, wise, brilliant, and compassionate.
I have had the privilege to work with Sharon in her training for many years, and I have to say that she is always surprising in that there is always something new and profound that she teaches. Her command of psychological theory is outstanding, as is her way of transmitting it to her students. The practical work and the demos are really impressive, and she teaches by example. We learn how to trust our own intuition and individual style of working with people.
There are therapists, and there is Sharon Hancock. Sharon is an exceptionally deeply skilled, present, and heartfelt therapist who has made a big impact on my life through and through. What I love about working with Sharon the most is not only that she empowers me to show up as myself but also challenges me with so much love and kindness to show up as an adult and own my part of things.
Sharon’s Psychotherapy Programs
The subject of Trauma has begun to take center stage in the world of therapy. Although relatively new, trauma-informed therapies are able to work very skillfully with people who have suffered trauma in their lives. They are also effective with those challenged with symptoms that seem to linger long after the traumatic event has passed.Read More
This is often referred to as PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Trauma symptoms are varied and usually refer to anxiety, panic attacks, or feeling spaced out or numb. Trauma can also lead to dissociation and the inability to connect to or respond appropriately to daily or more complex relational or work-related situations.
People who have trauma find themselves disoriented or confused. They can easily become overwhelmed. Trauma can come from various things, such as neglect, abandonment, and abuse in the family of origin. It can also come from accidents, war, or any big changes in life like divorces, separations, or death and loss in any form.
Therapists who deal with clients with trauma are very sensitive and attentive to the body experience of the client. They use a variety of trauma-informed techniques that help the client regulate their emotions and nervous system. This helps clients manage PTSD and re-wire their brain and nervous system to adapt in a more healthy and resourced way to stress and challenges.
Clients can finally be able to cope with stress in a practical way through gentle and well-placed trauma therapy. They can learn to trust themselves and allow themselves to re-enter intimate relationships. They now have new skills and resources at their disposal to face challenges creating a confident and relaxed feeling.
