Its happening again…
It's 9:02 am and you have an interview for a job you have been hoping for but instead of excitement all you feel is paralyzing fear.
Now its 5:30 you just walked in the door and your partner points out the dishes are still in the sink, a task you had said you would get done this morning, you feel an overwhelming sense of rage and frustration and yell at them.
If this situation is familiar, we are here to say that you are not alone or being dramatic. These experiences from time to time are perfectly normal, life is hard and chaotic. But if you are noticing a pattern of these experiences, then you have come to the right place, as these are symptoms of unhealed traumatic stress.
One of the hardest parts of the therapy is having to grieve the life you lost.
One of the hardest parts
about living with unhealed trauma, is the constant feeling that we do not belong with others.
Trauma can make us feel damaged, different, and broken. So many of us blame ourselves for the unfortunate events that have negatively impacted our lives.
If you have ever felt alone in a room full of people or felt shame that you cannot seem to connect with others, you are not broken. You are not wrong or bad.
This pattern that you have lived with for years can be shifted, changed, and healed.
We have felt that terrifying experience of being trapped, stuck, lost, helpless, and powerless. We have been walking on in our own healing journey for many years and utilize our experience to help others heal.
When you start your healing journey with us, you are walking with an experienced guide
It is our desire to help you break through shame, trauma, and unhealthy coping strategy cycles that leave you feeling trapped, stuck, or powerless. This experience of being powerless is often what perpetuates unhealthy coping strategies. Trauma inherently forces us to feel powerless due to the severity or intensity of the situation.
However, this experience does not need to be your normal way of life anymore. Our approach to therapy starts with a focus on empowerment. I want to empower you to utilize healthy anger or life force energy to set strong boundaries and to treat yourself with the love and respect you deserve.
This process of empowerment, combined with a strong feeling of safety, will allow you to face the trauma that has been haunting you. It is my deep belief that trauma steals our voice and power. It takes years from our life. Through therapy, my wish is that you will find your voice and embody the strength and wisdom that lies within you.
