TRAUMA…what is it?…do I have it?…how do I heal it? I specialize in developmental trauma and CPTSD and would like to help you answer those questions. Trauma isn’t always obvious and the impacts can show up in our lives in lots of ways. There may or may not be events in your past that stand out as being traumatic. There may be behaviours you can’t explain or change even though they are causing you suffering. You may have been labelled as oversensitive, reactive, overthinking, or diagnosed with addiction, depression or anxiety. Or take care of everyone’s needs but your own... or not even know what your needs are anymore...or?
Whatever it looks like, there is hope. The human body and nervous system is equipped and knows how to heal itself. The piece that was missing in our past was not having the right kind of support, and with gentle and non-judgemental exploration we can start to understand what that missing piece was, is now, and develop tools to restore our vitality.
Therapy is where we create a safe space for this work, exploring what works for you in the present moment, at your speed and comfort level. If you are curious to learn more, please send me an email to get started with a free 15 minute consultation.
