The truth is, you're a total badass who has been pushing through pain and difficulty most of your life. Most people around you don't notice that you’re struggling, because you've been holding it all together so long. But all the struggle and the work to keep it "under wraps" is starting to wear on you. You're tired. You might feel numb and struggle to connect with those you love or feel constantly on-edge or anxious. You may even have flashbacks of your worst moments or developed chronic pain or syndromes. It's starting to feel impossible to keep "holding it all together."
You've probably been to traditional talk therapy before and found it somewhat helpful, but you don't quite FEEL the change you were hoping for, or the symptoms came back a few months later. My work is guided by somatic trauma-informed modalities that focus on helping your overworked nervous system re-negotiate how it finds a sense of peace and safety.
The goal is to move from a place of knowing what's best for you into a place of naturally feeling and responding in supportive ways, without having to always will it to happen through thought alone. You don't have to keep fighting, alone and unseen. Healing is possible.
