Healing trauma takes time, and a truly trauma-informed approach. Many of us carry invisible wounds from childhood: the hypervigilance from growing up walking on eggshells, the self-criticism derived from caregivers who couldn't regulate their own emotions, or the deep sense of not being enough despite our achievements. Complex and developmental trauma doesn't always look like what people expect, but it lives in our bodies and shapes how we see ourselves and the world.
I'm Shabnum, a trauma specialist who understands these struggles both professionally and personally.
I work specifically with adults healing from complex trauma, childhood emotional neglect, and the lasting effects of growing up in environments where safety - physical or emotional - wasn't guaranteed. Currently completing advanced Complex Trauma Certification (CCTP/CCTP-II) with Dr. Janina Fisher.
I follow the evidence-based tri-phasic model in my approach to trauma recovery:
- Phase 1: Emotional Safety and Symptom Stabilisation (I have enough safety and stability in my life to address my trauma)
- Phase 2: Processing Traumatic Memories (with support I can feel my emotions and grieve)
- Phase 3: Integration and Reconnection (I am more than my trauma)
