A solution of the past can be the downfall of your present as well. I believe that in order to truly help someone; one must first seek to understand and then to be understood. Treat yourself as if you are someone worth being helped. To succeed in doing so, one must gain a deeper level of self-awareness through connecting the unconscious patterns of today, to the past traumatic events we have experienced. Understanding that the external world is a direct reflection of what is happening in the internal world, your perception can be a deciding factor to a new reality. Your life is what you choose it to be.

As someone who is LGBTQIA+ and grew up in a conservative community, I know how living inauthentically can weigh on you.

While the path forward can feel confusing, there is hope for finding a sense of clarity and relief, and awakening to a life that you genuinely want to engage with and thrive in.

If you suffer from feelings of inadequacy, loneliness or identity issues, there could be a deeper root. Depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, the pressure to meet others' expectations while neglecting your own needs, all could stem from past trauma. Complex trauma, familial or systemic, can cause internalized guilt, shame and self-abandonment. This can look like feeling resentful, reactive, avoidant, hopeless or shut down. However, you are not doomed to stay stuck there. Healing is possible, and can pave the way for a life freer from negative thoughts, with more peace, self-acceptance, authenticity and improved relationships.

Yet, almost always the goal is relief from the struggle along with a sense of some mastery over the problem.

Often, painful experiences shake the very foundation of who we are. Perhaps you've been crafting narratives about yourself based on the most challenging experiences you’ve endured. These stories may leave you feeling misunderstood and struggling to forge a strong sense of self, especially when your lived experience doesn’t align with societal norms. This can manifest as debilitating symptoms, difficulty connecting with others, and damaging self-beliefs, causing you to question your inherent worth and identity. Despite what your inner critic may be telling you, it is possible to discover and embrace your authentic self.

Often we have little or no say in the difficulties that befall us. We have our own health problems, our relationship troubles, our work demands - as well as those of the people we love. Often we don't know what to do or we can't do what we wish. In spite of not being able to change circumstances, we do have a say in how we relate to these conflicts and transitions. Looking at our own response to crisis, both large and small, is an important part of therapy. In looking at our response, we are on a journey of self discovery and knowledge. Even in hard times there is a kind of joy that comes from self understanding and awareness.
