Do you ever feel like…
You keep ending up in familiar relationships, or acting reactively, unwillingly repeating patterns you want to outgrow.
You carry a quiet shame that convinces you are somehow unworthy of love or belonging.
You struggle to trust yourself, or to feel safe trusting others.
You long for closeness but get scared or pull away when it arrives.
Other therapies don’t address the depth and complexity of your story.
Trauma isn’t just big things: abuse, accidents, or loss. It’s anything that’s too much, too soon, or for too long.
Trauma can also look like:
A parent who expected constant perfection.
A parent who couldn’t see, hear, or validate you.
Being blamed for things beyond your control.
Growing up around anger, criticism, or rejection.
Having your needs & dreams ignored.
Being told not to feel, or that you feel too much.
Gender or sexuality shame.
Shame around your worth and values.
