🌿 Why Maslow’s Hierarchy Matters in Trauma Therapy

When we talk about healing trauma, we often start near the base of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs — safety. Before your mind can process painful experiences, your body and nervous system need to know: "I’m safe now".

That’s why therapy begins with creating a sense of security — both in your life and in the counselling space itself. You can’t heal if you’re still in danger, or if your environment feels unpredictable.

At McKinney Psychology, we spend intentional time helping clients feel grounded, safe, and in control of the process. Whether that means setting clear boundaries, using grounding techniques, or simply making the room feel comfortable — safety always comes first.

Healing doesn’t begin when you talk about the trauma. It begins when your body believes you’re no longer living it. 💛
