“I have had trauma, but so what?”
Trauma impacts both the mind and body and creates a sense of feeling unsafe in this world.
Many people come to me and don’t make the connection that their symptoms are because of their trauma.
Trauma seems to be so prevalent in our society and yet is rarely talked about openly. Most of us receive the message to sweep it under the rug and forget about it. However, that can lead to using alcohol or other substances to cope.
Once you learn about trauma and its impact, things make more sense, and you make connections to why you do what you do, so that you can change it.
Get off autopilot.
You’re on autopilot and just going through the motions to get through each day.
Being around others and out in the world can feel overwhelming. The only things you look forward to are being alone or some form of addiction, whether it is doom scrolling, alcohol, or vaping weed to take the edge off life. You numb out and check out to try to get relief. It only works until it doesn’t.
That’s why you’re here. You want to find a better way forward and retake charge of your life.
Therapy offers a way forward.
You’ve called into work again or avoided that conversation with your partner. Avoidance is a hallmark of trauma. And avoiding only leads to more stress.
Because of this ongoing stress, you’ve made your world smaller and smaller, so now you’re isolated and lonely.
Let’s get you reconnected and moving forward again. You will learn ways to cope, communicate, and process your trauma. Stop being held back and feel empowered.
Consider trauma therapy as a resource for life – the one you are meant to have.
Break free from your past and live the life of your dreams.
Together, we will work on building up your pillars of well-being (sleep, nutrition, socializing, spirituality, and exercise) to improve overall functioning.
We will set goals to accomplish and work through anything holding you back. Process your trauma and stop being haunted by those memories and nightmares – they will go away.
Now you can learn to build healthy coping and bring joy back into your life.
Don’t let trauma ruin your life!
Constantly looking out for danger and feeling unsafe in a world you see as scary is not the way to live.
Besides, feeling anxious, scared, and lonely leads to an isolating life.
You deserve better, and trauma recovery therapy can help you overcome trauma’s hold on you.
Don’t wait another year or more to process trauma from your past. Reach out today for a 15-minute consultation. We can meet via phone or video and see if we’re a good fit.
My goal is to help you move from surviving to thriving.
