Ongoing abuse and neglect or multiple traumatic experiences may cause complex trauma and complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Worsening symptoms may be a result of avoiding the memories and feelings of the traumatic experiences. This type of trauma may affect you cognitively, emotionally, in relationships, and behaviorally. Unless treated, it can cause you great disturbance in most areas of functioning.
- Sleep;
- Appetite;
- Moods;
- Memory and concentration;
- Behavior;
- Ability to form and be in relationships;
- Ability to function in school or on the job.
In treatment, one often relives the traumatic experiences repeatedly. This process renders the event less scary, allowing a feeling of more control. This allows you to stop the traumtic feelings. In this way, you stop blaming yourself, realizing that you were a victim. This prolonged exposure to the traumatic memories help alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, ongoing abuse and neglect in childhood often leads to Attachment Disorder. This causes a lack of feeling of attachment to a parental figure, not feeling loved, not learning to love in return, and the main primary feelings are rage and anxiety.
- Eye movement programming;
- Prolonged exposure to the traumatic events, by repeatedly telling the story;
- Guided imagery;
- Relaxation;
- Aerobic exercise several times a week;
- Consulting with a dietitian to reduce consuming foods than increase anxiety;
- Meditation or yoga or other activity that relaxes both the body and the mind;
- Attachment therapy;
- Learning to allow oneself to feel feelings and to express them.

Since 1976, I have been practicing psychology, doing behavioral and cognitive therapies, humanistic therapy, assertiveness training, relaxation and guided imagery techniques, and providing treatment to various populations.
Throughout the years both in the US, in Los Angeles and in Israel, I have worked with people of all backgrounds, including religious Jews, ultra-orthodox Jews, secular Jews, Arabs, and some tourists. In the US, I worked with people from varied backgrounds and cultures.
I have worked extensively with people with special needs, providing behavioral and cognitive therapy, social skills training, independent living skills training, self-help skills training, and ongoing supportive therapy.
I have worked with people new to the various cultures and languages in which I lived and worked. Helping them adjust is an ongoing, long-term type of therapy.
Treatment is conducted both in English and Hebrew.
Treatment is conducted in person and on Zoom.
