I work with people who’ve experienced attachment and relational trauma, especially those who struggle with the effects of early childhood wounds.
Have you ever felt like you're constantly fighting an invisible battle with yourself—your body, your habits, or even the people closest to you? Do you find yourself wanting more from your relationships but feel stuck, frozen by fear or uncertainty? Maybe you’ve asked yourself, “Why can’t I just be better?” or “Why am I always feeling like this?” You might be carrying wounds from the past, perhaps from a time when you had to suppress your emotions just to feel safe or accepted. But now, those old coping mechanisms no longer work. Instead, they keep you distant from the connection and fulfillment you truly crave.
