When Stress No Longer Feels Sustainable: Trauma-Informed Support for High Performers
Based in Durango, CO | Serving clients in California, Colorado, and Utah
EMDR intensives, sound healing, and nervous system-based wellness for stress, trauma, and disconnection.
Founded by Barbara Ferri, a licensed clinical therapist and certified sound healer, Solum Life Therapy offers focused, restorative support for people who carry a lot — mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Her therapeutic work is grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy and informed by nervous-system–aware practices. This approach reflects a simple truth: meaningful change doesn’t come from insight alone, but from helping the nervous system feel safe enough to shift.
Unlike traditional models that separate mental health from wellness, Barbara bridges evidence-based therapy and sound healing—two powerful, complementary approaches that support the nervous system at its deepest levels.

When Chronic Stress Isn’t Sustainable: Trauma-Informed Therapy for High Performers
You’re constantly moving—managing responsibilities, meeting expectations, and holding everything together. From the outside, it may look like you’re thriving. But inside, something feels off. You’re exhausted, disconnected, and unsure when you last felt truly grounded or present. Slowing down feels uncomfortable, and prioritizing yourself feels almost impossible.
Many of the people I work with are high performers—professionals, leaders, caregivers, and creatives—who are outwardly successful but internally overwhelmed. They often live in a state of chronic stress or nervous system dysregulation, feeling stuck in survival mode. Relationships can feel strained, whether with a partner, coworkers, or even with themselves. Despite their efforts, they feel disconnected, emotionally numb, or unsure what they actually need to feel well.
Getting to the Root of It
For many, this isn’t just the result of a busy life. It’s a learned pattern. Constant productivity, over-functioning, or emotional disconnection can be protective responses—ways the
nervous system learned to stay safe in the face of early emotional neglect, unresolved trauma, or environments that didn’t allow space for rest, connection, or vulnerability. Over time, these patterns can quietly shape how you relate to work, relationships, and your own inner world.
At Solum Life Therapy, I offer integrative, trauma-informed services designed to help you reconnect with yourself and restore balance at the nervous system level. Through EMDR intensives, sound healing, and corporate wellness experiences, we work together to address the root causes of stress, trauma, and disconnection—gently, intentionally, and at a pace that feels safe.
You don’t have to keep living on autopilot. Healing doesn’t mean doing more—it means creating space to listen, regulate, and reconnect. With the right support, it’s possible to feel grounded, connected, and at peace—both within yourself, at work, and in your relationships.
EMDR Intensives
Focused trauma resolution—delivered with depth, privacy, and efficiency.
EMDR Intensives are designed for individuals seeking accelerated trauma-focused psychotherapy without the constraints of weekly sessions. This model allows for deeper momentum, fewer disruptions, and meaningful progress in a condensed timeframe.
Where clinically appropriate, EMDR Intensives may integrate sound-based or somatic supports to aid regulation and processing—always within the scope of licensed mental health care.
Ideal for:
High-achieving professionals in healthcare, finance, and tech
Cycle breakers and first-generation leaders carrying invisible pressure
Individuals who are intellectually driven yet emotionally exhausted
Those navigating anxiety, burnout, or long-standing patterns rooted in trauma
Corporate Wellness
Restorative, non-clinical vibrational sound healing for teams, organizations, and corporate groups.
Corporate sound healing experiences designed to support stress reduction, nervous system regulation, and collective restoration. These services are experiential and calming in nature, and are not psychotherapy.
Offered in settings such as corporate wellness programs, team events, celebrations, and group gatherings, these sound bath sessions offer a grounding, accessible way to support well-being in the workplace and prevent burnout.
While informed by clinical training, vibrational sound healing is distinct from therapy and does not involve diagnosis or mental health treatment.
Corporate Sound Baths:
Stress-reduction experiences
Team-building and burnout prevention events
Encourages loyalty and job satisfaction
Sound Healing
Nurturing, grounding experiences for individuals, small groups, celebrations, and community gatherings.
Sound healing sessions that invite deep rest, nervous system soothing, and a sense of connection—both to yourself and to the people around you. These experiences are gentle, immersive, and supportive, offering a space to unwind, reset, and breathe more fully.
Sessions are offered in our Durango office, virtually, at your chosen location, and at special gatherings such as bridal showers, celebrations, housewarmings, and community events. Whether shared with a partner, a small circle, or a group of up to 30 people, sound healing creates a calming, heart‑opening experience that brings people together.
While informed by Barbara’s clinical background, these offerings are not therapy and do not involve diagnosis or mental health treatment—they are simply spaces to relax, reconnect, and restore.
