TRAUMA INFORMED PSYCHOTHERAPIST
& SOMATIC PRACTITIONER
Certified by Somatic Experiencing International US
Meet Rox Saibro
Rox is a psychotherapist specializing in trauma and PTSD. Her approach unites deep personal insight with world-class training. She studied directly with Dr. Peter Levine, creator of Somatic Experiencing, whose pioneering work with NASA revealed how the nervous system responds to extreme stress; with Dr. Gabor Maté, internationally recognized for his groundbreaking understanding of trauma, stress and addiction; and with renowned yoga masters Richard Freeman, Mary Taylor and Bernie Clark, who shaped her embodied, somatic practice.
Her professional path has taken her from Brazil to Mexico, Canada and the United States, and now to Europe, where she has begun collaborating with Red Cross Spain (Creu Roja Catalunya) to support individuals and communities facing displacement, loss and crisis.
Rox believes mental health is one of the defining global issues of our time, affected by war, climate instability, migration and social upheaval. While she continues to work one-on-one in specific and extreme cases of trauma with women and children, she is increasingly dedicated to training groups, leading workshops and offering master classes—helping individuals, organizations, companies and public institutions turn trauma science into practical strategies for resilience and collective well-being.
What is TRAUMA?
​
Trauma is not the event itself.
It is the internal wound left when something happens too fast, too intense or too overwhelming for our body and mind to process.
A car accident, abuse, the loss of a loved one, war, natural disasters—these are obvious examples. But trauma can also come from everyday experiences: persistent pressure at work, bullying, a sudden move, public humiliation, feeling unloved or unsafe in childhood. Sometimes the roots go even deeper—trauma can be inherited, passed silently through generations in the very genes we carry.
What matters is not how dramatic the situation looks from outside, but how it is experienced inside. When the nervous system is unable to integrate the shock, the memory stays alive in the body as tension, fear or disconnection—that’s trauma.
