Trauma is complex and affects the mind and body. When children and teens are exposed to a traumatic event or chronic trauma, their bodies’ endure toxic stress. Often children and teens are unable to communicate their emotions and thoughts due to the inability to comprehend their experience. Parents struggle knowing how to support their child and fear of causing further harm. Trauma heals through resolving unresolved memories, emotions and beliefs surrounding the experience. Addressing trauma is essential.

Is it time? To reach out for help? Or can you go a little longer white-knuckling it through your life? You have made it this far, right. Dragging yourself through each day. Some days are better than others, but for the most part life is a drag. Everyone else seems happy. Did they get a handbook to life that you didn't get? The littlest thing can trigger you. You are irritable on the outside, sad on the inside. You spend more and more time at home because spending time with friends or family takes too much energy. Franky, you just don't want to deal. There has to be more to life. If only you had the tools to get it.
