Taking back control


 

Trauma isn’t always obvious. It can be a single event or a series of experiences that overwhelm your ability to cope. Often, we don’t realize we’ve experienced trauma until we see its effects—anxiety, relationship struggles, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from ourselves.

Common forms of trauma include:

  • Relational & attachment trauma - Childhood abuse, neglect, abandonment, or domestic violence (PTSD and complex PTSD)

  • Sexual Trauma -Assault, harassment, or unwanted sexual contact

  • Intimate Partner Violence - sexual, physical, emotional, economic, or post separation abuse

  • Narcissistic Abuse - Manipulation, control, and chronic invalidation

  • Medical & Physical Trauma -Accidents, chronic illnesses, or medical procedures

These experiences shape how you see yourself and the world—leading to trust issues, relationship challenges, self-identity struggles, and feelings of unworthiness. But healing is possible. Therapy can help you process, release, and reclaim your life.

If you experienced trauma, you might struggle with:

  • Intrusive thoughts or memories, flashbacks or nightmares.

  • Actively avoiding people, places, or activities, or withdrawing from social interactions.

  • Intense emotional reactions such as anxiety, fear, anger, sadness, irritability, emotional numbness or a sense of detachment.

  • Irritability, agitation, mood swings, a sense of hopelessness, or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed.

  • Feeling constantly on edge, easily startled, or having difficulty sleeping.

  • You find it challenging to trust others, establish intimacy, or feel safe in relationships.

 

Stop feeling like you are broken.

Life can feel different than the way it does today.

It may feel impossible, but you can heal from trauma. Whether it happened yesterday, or years ago, you can break free from the pain and difficult memories that are impacting you today. Brainspotting therapy can help you break the hold that trauma has on you.

Trauma therapy can help with:

  • Decreasing your fight, flight, freeze, or fawn (people pleasing responses).

  • Developing and implementing healthy coping strategies and boundaries.

  • Understanding your emotional needs and self-care in relationships.

  • Building healthy relationships where you feel safe and secure and you are able to be your authentic self.

  • Improving low self-esteem.
