SUNNI S. lutton, PhD, LMHC-S
a critical trauma perspective
Sunni fundamentally believes that our experiences of and adaptations to
trauma and attachment
is the root cause of our mental health suffering.
What has been labeled as disorders are specific patterns of haunts.
Sunni's work centers on the storyings of our wellbeing, relationships, and world.
She offers a variety of services that
span across perspectives of mental health counseling,
narrative based support, trauma and counselor education, and
rights-focused mental health training.
Her counseling practice uses somatic psychotherapy (1), EMDR (2),
and narrative therapy with parts work (3)
to explore and renegotiate patterns that keep an individual separated
from their world.
Sunni's work continues beyond mental health counseling
into the practice of narrative inquiry
for the purpose of understanding and negotiating
the unique ways our bodies hold stress and trauma.
Sunni's intergenerational and personal experiences
of institutional abuse and oppression,
informs her critical inquiry of current institutional practices
as they pertain to mental health.
Critical trauma theory encourages a need
for a reimagining of the humanities.
Perhaps the first step is looking outside
our own echo chamber of professional voices
to become aware of what other disciplines (e.g., Communication)
and their knowledge might offer.
