Trauma
It feels like no one understands you because of what you’ve been through. Sleep is elusive due to images appearing unbidden and the constant stream of thoughts running through your mind. You feel like you always have to watch your back and have difficulty trusting others. When something good happens, you’re afraid that the other shoe will drop. You struggle with anxiety and depression from your experiences and might have been diagnosed with PTSD or complex PTSD. You carry the weight of dysfunctional dynamics from your family of origin and worry about repeating those patterns within your chosen family. You want to feel safe and secure, but you don’t know how.
We can work together on…
Understanding the effects of trauma on your mind, body, heart, & soul
Learning how to identify what you need & meet those needs in a beneficial manner
Establishing a sense of inner & outer safety
Practicing ways to soothe yourself and keep your emotions in balance
Growing your ability to cope with things that upset or overwhelm you
Identifying & changing patterns that no longer serve you
Learning how to create healthy, trusting connections with people in your life
Breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma
My aim is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to
truly express yourself,
assist you in developing an awareness and understanding of how trauma affects you,
&
empower you to grow
such that your trauma no longer overwhelms you.
I will work collaboratively with you on figuring out what best works for you, as I am aware that trauma is complex and requires a comprehensive approach.
