Conditions We Support: Trauma-Related Disorders

Trauma leaves an imprint—physically, emotionally, and neurologically. It doesn’t just live in your memories but in your body. At Modern Holistic Health, we specialize in helping individuals uncover and heal from trauma-related disorders using a compassionate, science-backed, and whole-body approach.

Whether your trauma is recent or buried deep in the past, whether it stems from a single event or years of chronic stress, our goal is to guide you back to safety, regulation, and resilience—without medication as the first line of defense.

What Are Trauma-Related Disorders?

Trauma-related disorders are conditions that arise when the nervous system remains in a state of dysregulation after experiencing overwhelming stress. This may be emotional, physical, psychological, or environmental.

These disorders can affect every system of the body and may include:

  • PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
  • Complex PTSD (cPTSD)
  • Dissociation and emotional detachment
  • Panic attacks and anxiety disorders
  • Chronic insomnia and nightmares
  • Hypervigilance and sensory overload
  • Emotional numbness or instability
  • Brain fog and memory issues
  • Fibromyalgia and chronic pain conditions


You do not need to have a formal PTSD diagnosis to be living with trauma. Many people experience trauma-related symptoms without realizing their origin.

How Trauma Affects the Body and Brain

When trauma occurs, the nervous system may become stuck in a chronic fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response. Over time, this disrupts:

  • Hormone regulation (primarily cortisol and adrenaline)
  • Sleep and circadian rhythms
  • Gut function and digestion
  • Immune system balance
  • Brain chemistry and neurotransmitter production
  • Emotional regulation and memory


This is not a weakness—it’s a biological survival response. At MHH, we help your body and brain unlearn that state of danger and return to calm.

The Role of the Nervous System

Trauma-related disorders are deeply rooted in nervous system dysregulation. Healing must begin with restoring regulation.

Our approach includes:

  • Polyvagal theory-based nervous system retraining
  • Vagal tone enhancement through breathwork, meditation, and cold exposure
  • Somatic techniques to release stored trauma
  • Emotional rewiring using brain-based neuroplasticity protocols
  • Heart rate variability (HRV) tracking to assess healing


We help you shift from chronic dysregulation into a parasympathetic healing state so your body can finally repair.

Common Signs of Unresolved Trauma

You may be dealing with trauma-related dysregulation if you experience:

  • Overreaction to stress or small triggers
  • Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or shutting down
  • Difficulty sleeping or feeling rested
  • Startling easily or feeling constantly on edge
  • Physical tension or pain without apparent cause
  • Difficulty concentrating or memory lapses
  • Social withdrawal or people-pleasing behaviors
  • Digestive issues tied to anxiety or emotional triggers


These are not just psychological—they are physiological patterns that can be rewired.

Trauma and Chronic Illness

Many chronic conditions are rooted in or worsened by trauma. We often see trauma-related patterns in clients with:

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Autoimmune conditions
  • Digestive disorders (IBS, SIBO, leaky gut)
  • Hormonal imbalances and adrenal fatigue
  • Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis
  • Chronic pain syndromes and fibromyalgia


Healing trauma isn’t separate from physical healing—it is part of it. We address both.

Our Trauma-Informed Functional Approach

We believe that healing trauma requires a multidimensional protocol that targets the emotional, neurological, biochemical, and spiritual aspects of health.

Our trauma-informed process includes:

  • A comprehensive trauma and nervous system intake
  • Functional lab testing to assess inflammation, neurotransmitters, and hormones
  • Brain chemistry and gut-brain axis evaluation
  • Genetic and epigenetic markers related to trauma response
  • Integration of neuroscience, psychology, and root-cause functional medicine


We combine clinical insights with deep compassion to meet you where you are and move forward together.

Personalized Healing Protocols

Every client receives a customized plan based on their trauma history, symptoms, and lab data.

Your plan may include:

  • Nervous system regulation techniques (breathwork, sound therapy, somatic work)
  • Brain chemistry and neurotransmitter support
  • Gut healing to reduce systemic inflammation
  • Mitochondrial and energy support
  • Nutrient repletion (magnesium, B vitamins, amino acids)
  • Trauma-informed coaching and mindset work
  • Detoxification and immune support when applicable


You will never be told, “It’s all in your head.” Instead, we validate, investigate, and empower.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between PTSD and trauma-related symptoms?
A: PTSD is a specific diagnosis based on criteria, while trauma-related symptoms can exist without a formal label. We look at the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

Q: How do I know if trauma is affecting my physical health?
A: Signs include chronic pain, fatigue, gut issues, hormonal imbalance, or immune dysfunction that began or worsened after stress or trauma.

Q: Can trauma really change my brain and body?
A: Yes. Trauma alters brain structure, stress hormone patterns, and nervous system wiring. The good news? Neuroplasticity means you can heal.

Q: Do I need to talk about the trauma in detail to heal?
A: No. We use body-based and neurological tools that allow healing without reliving painful experiences.

Q: Is everything virtual?
A: Yes. We work with clients worldwide through secure telehealth sessions and customized at-home healing plans.
