Pia Granjon
Let's open a SPACE
to talk about TRAUMA
HOW YOU CAN RECONNECT WITH YOUR SELF IN YOUR CURRENT LIFE
HOW YOU CAN FEEL SAFER
IN YOUR MIND, BODY, BRAIN, SOUL
Mental Health Beyond Borders
Psycho-social, mental, racial, gender, geographical, medical, physical, . . . Borders
Hi, I am Pia;
We can work together online - without camera, until they feel safe enough, for some
or face to face in Surrey, UK
In French, in English
or in 'Frenglish' for long time expatriates ;)
I am specialised in working with people living with all the complexity of the aftermath of trauma, complex trauma, developmental trauma.
Childhood and adulthood
I am working with and have a particular professional interest for Dissociation and DID / Dissociative Identity Disorder symptoms management
A disorder that shows a deep coherence in regards to what the individual has been through; an adaptation to abnormal events that happened
My university training and personal life led me to take into account cultural references in their broad spectrum, for example;
. representation of the body
. relationships and inter-connections
. gender representations
The word
T R A U M A
comes from
the Greek
W O U N D S C A N H E A L
πληγή
that means
W O U N D
Introduction in English
Introduction en français
We can work together with what you are going through
Let's check how I can provide the support you need at this moment of your life
Trauma can be
Coming from a Single Event
Chronic
Complex
Developmental
It can belong to the past or still be ongoing
Trauma invades the current life
Trauma is relived in the brain, so in the body and mind
We are working in Collaboration
Together on this path
Working with someone in the aftermath of one or several traumatic event/s requires from the therapist to Be with you with a real Conscious Presence and Awareness of what is communicated both Verbally and Non-Verbally
We are working in the Here and Now whilst we may need, at times, to process past events.
The traumatic event is not what left the deeper imprint in you
But the fact that there was no one to Witness what you have been through
THE MODALITIES I CAN OFFER
Deep Brain Reorienting
Level 3/3
aims to access and process traumatic experience by tracking the original sequence of physiological responses that occurred when the deep brain had been alerted to a threat or an attachment disruption.
Created by Frank Corrigan
Supported by
Ruth Lanius
and Jessica Christie-Sands
Developed with the benefit of research, decades of clinical experience, and feedback from participants in earlier online and in-person versions of the program. This program makes use of all that we have learned, and is designed to help people who have experienced trauma and have trauma-related symptoms, including dissociation, learn how to get and feel safer.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a psychotherapeutic approach that encourages individuals to embrace their thoughts and feelings, develop psychological flexibility, and commit to actions aligned with their values, fostering a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that supports the processing of traumatic memories
Created by late Francine Shapiro
Helps release past trauma and decondition established habits.
''the state induced by that procedure, in which suggestion is used to evoke changes in sensation, perception, cognition, emotion, or control over motor behavior."
American Psychological Association
assumes that each of us holds many different parts to our minds, bodies and psyche.
Some models are:
Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Jungian Archetypal work, Ego State Therapy
focuses on regulating the autonomic nervous system. We understand and manage our reactions: patterns of emotions, behaviours, thoughts
Created by Stephen Porges
Deb Dana
Taking into account the controversy of this theory
Grossman et al. (2026) —Why the Polyvagal Theory Is Untenable
Stephen Porges (2026) — When a Critique Becomes Untenable
allows us to release and transform the way uncomfortable feelings like hurt, guilt, fear, or anger may be affecting our experience. EFT can also be used to help transform the thoughts and beliefs behind our emotional experiences.Developed by engineer Gary Craig and inspired largely from the work of Dr. Roger Callahan

developed by Kathy Steele, MN, CS, Onno van der Hart, PhD,
