English
| Magyar Having a harsh inner critic, boundary or control issues, addictions, out-of-control emotions or feeling numb inside are all symptoms of trauma. NOT signs of weakness or personality flaws. The mix of overwhelm and powerlessness causes trauma. We didn't have to suffer childhood abuse or tragedies to experience the above symptoms in life. Removal of love, criticism, expectations of who we should be or parents who struggled with their issues were traumatic and led to adaptations we needed for survival. If any of these resonate, you are not alone. I talk to people like you. And like them, you too can heal.
My trauma-sensitive counselling can help you recognise and transform those defaults that were helpful responses to threats in the past but are no longer helpful. I use bottom-up, body-mind and expressive approaches that go beyond the scope of what talking therapies can achieve. I help you connect to and heal your inner wounds instead of 'fix or solve' you.
Trauma symptoms can overprotect us, and their mantra is "never that pain again". It's essential to grow compassion towards all aspects of ourselves though: the hyper-vigilant, the super withdrawn or the compulsive obsessive. Making sense of these sides of us starts to temper them. If you want to become calmer, more secure and engaged in life, call me now.
