CPTSD & Childhood Trauma
Does something feel ‘off’ but you can’t quite explain it?
Does it feel safer to be on your own, or do it yourself?
Do you yearn for a life where you belong?
Maybe it was a series of small hurts, nothing catastrophic. Your parents weren’t there for you in the way you needed, you always felt misunderstood, or you felt unsafe where you lived. Over time, you may have learned how to adapt, to help yourself be okay. But adapting meant moving away from your truest self. Maybe you had to learn to show up differently in relationships, suppress your emotions, or take care of others before yourself. Now you may feel unsatisfied in your relationships; you don’t feel at home in your body; your emotions feel overwhelming - if you even allow yourself to feel them. Maybe you tell yourself you should be fine, but your body says otherwise.
Somatic trauma therapy can help you understand the ways you’ve learned to adapt. Together we’ll support you to reconnect to your authentic self and build the life that fulfills you.
Using NARM and CPT therapies, I work with your mind, body, emotions, and spirit to gently uncover patterns that may no longer be serving you. People I work with often feel that this approach goes deeper than traditional talk therapy and gets to the root of their concerns.
