Trauma, PTSD & EMDR Therapy Brisbane & Online Australia

Helping You Heal From The Past Without Being Controlled By It

At Get Right Therapy, we specialise in helping people recover from trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), childhood trauma and other difficult life experiences that continue affecting their thoughts, emotions, relationships and daily lives.

Many people believe trauma is something that should simply fade with time.

Yet years—even decades—later they still find themselves reacting in ways they don't fully understand.

They may know the event is over.

Yet their mind and body continue responding as though the danger is still present.

The reality is that trauma is not always stored as a memory alone.

It can become stored within the nervous system, influencing emotional reactions, beliefs, behaviours and relationships long after the event itself has passed.

At Get Right Therapy, we help clients safely process unresolved trauma, reduce emotional distress and regain a sense of safety, confidence and control.

Most sessions are conducted discreetly online Australia-wide, allowing you to access professional trauma support from the comfort and privacy of your own home. In-person appointments are also available in Ashgrove, Brisbane.

Trauma Doesn't Always Look Like Trauma

One of the biggest misconceptions about trauma is that it only applies to major catastrophic events.

In reality, trauma can develop whenever an experience overwhelms your ability to cope and remains unresolved within the nervous system.

For some people it was:

  • Childhood neglect

  • Emotional abuse

  • Domestic violence

  • Bullying

  • Sexual trauma

  • Medical trauma

  • Workplace trauma

  • Relationship betrayal

  • Abandonment

  • Grief and loss

For others it was years of feeling unsafe, unheard, criticised or emotionally unsupported.

Many people spend years minimising their experiences:

"Others had it worse."

"I should be over this by now."

"It wasn't that bad."

Yet they continue struggling with anxiety, emotional triggers, relationship difficulties and self-doubt.

When The Past Keeps Showing Up In The Present

Trauma often reveals itself in ways people don't immediately recognise.

You may find yourself:

✔ Constantly on edge

✔ Hypervigilant and scanning for danger

✔ Easily triggered by certain situations

✔ Avoiding conflict at all costs

✔ Struggling to trust others

✔ Overreacting to situations logically you know are safe

✔ Emotionally shutting down or withdrawing

✔ Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns

✔ Feeling disconnected from yourself

✔ Living with persistent anxiety or fear

These responses are often not signs that something is wrong with you.

They are signs that your nervous system adapted to survive difficult experiences.

PTSD & Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) can affect every aspect of life.

While PTSD is often associated with a single traumatic event, Complex PTSD frequently develops through repeated or ongoing experiences such as childhood trauma, emotional abuse, domestic violence or long-term exposure to unsafe environments.

Many people with PTSD or Complex PTSD experience:

  • Flashbacks

  • Intrusive memories

  • Nightmares

  • Hypervigilance

  • Emotional numbness

  • Difficulty trusting others

  • Chronic anxiety

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Shame and self-blame

The good news is that healing is possible.

Many people are surprised to discover how much their symptoms improve once unresolved trauma is properly processed.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy Brisbane

One of the most effective approaches available for trauma recovery is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy specifically developed to help people process traumatic memories and experiences that have become "stuck" within the nervous system.

Rather than repeatedly talking about traumatic events, EMDR helps the brain reprocess unresolved experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity.

Many clients describe EMDR as:

"I can still remember what happened, but it no longer feels like it's happening to me."

EMDR is commonly used for:

✔ PTSD

✔ Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)

✔ Childhood trauma

✔ Emotional abuse

✔ Panic attacks

✔ Relationship trauma

✔ Grief and loss

✔ Anxiety linked to past experiences

✔ Distressing memories

Why Talking About It Doesn't Always Heal It

Many trauma survivors know exactly what happened.

They've talked about it.

Analysed it.

Thought about it repeatedly.

Yet they still feel stuck.

This is because trauma is not stored only as a story.

It is often stored within emotional responses, subconscious beliefs and nervous system reactions that continue operating automatically.

You may consciously know you're safe.

Yet your body continues responding as though danger is nearby.

Effective trauma therapy helps bridge that gap.

Helping both the mind and body recognise:

The threat is over.

I survived.

I am safe now.

Why Our Trauma Approach Works

At Get Right Therapy, we combine:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

  • Clinical Hypnotherapy

  • NLP

  • Time Line Therapy®

  • Coaching

to help clients process unresolved trauma while building confidence, emotional resilience and healthier patterns moving forward.

Every trauma experience is unique.

Which is why every treatment plan is tailored to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

You Are Not Broken

One of the most important things trauma survivors need to understand is this:

You are not broken.

The reactions that may be causing difficulties today were often the very strategies that helped you survive in the past.

Healing is not about becoming someone different.

Healing is about helping your mind and body recognise that the danger has passed, allowing you to finally move forward with greater freedom, confidence and peace.

  • "I approached Michael about using hypnotherapy to reprogram my subconscious, treat trauma and bring about lasting change. He designed a program to address anxiety, depression, overthinking, past trauma, poor sleep and people pleasing. Since working with Michael my partner, friends and colleagues have all noticed a significant difference in me, with quite a few commenting that it’s nice to see me laughing and engaging in life again. Best of all, with the sessions recorded, I have tools to regularly reinforce the learnings which keeps me on track and moving steadily towards my goals. I highly recommend Get Right Therapy to anyone wanting to make a lasting change in their lives."
