Trauma is often weaved in and through the fabric of our lives. Many think of trauma as one large scale traumatic event. However, complex trauma is not always a single event. It could be a failed attachment to our care takers, experiencing abuse/neglect, multiple losses, shattered relationships, or the inability to protect ourselves emotionally with healthy boundaries. The most disturbing part of a trauma is not only the event itself, but how we perceived the event, and the internalized negative core beliefs about ourselves that developed.

Life is a journey. Sometimes there are difficulties. These difficulties make it hard to arrive at the desired life destination or achieve optimal functionality .

Everyone Encounters Problems, Healthy People Seek Solutions. Life can be and is overwhelming from pressures at work, problems with relationships, children, or negative emotions interfering with your ability to enjoy life. Marriage or relationships do not need to leave you exhausted with constant arguing or lack of feeling connected or understood. Relationships are our most powerful connections. It's not about blame or being critical but realizing what you and your spouse may be doing to sabotage the relationship. By understanding our selves and our partners through communication and listening skills; creating a different direction

Carl Rogers once said, "When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me." We all experience times in our lives where we just need to be heard, to be validated, to find some direction. It is my belief that a therapeutic relationship with a genuine therapist who provides an authentic, nonjudgmental, safe environment is the most important factor for growth and positive outcomes.
