Trauma
Understanding Complex Trauma
Complex trauma comes from repeated experiences of trauma or abandonment, often leaving deep scars that affect how we connect with others. These wounds can distort our self-worth and make it difficult to trust those around us. Emotionally, it can feel like you are on a rollercoaster. You might experience intense feelings of anxiety, panic attacks that seem to come from nowhere, and a persistent heaviness that settles in your chest.
The Impact of Betrayal of Trust
For many, trauma begins in childhood, where trust is violated by those we should have been able to rely on for care and support. As adults, experiencing betrayal from someone we considered trustworthy can shatter our sense of safety and make it hard to open up to others. This cycle of betrayal and distrust can lead to feelings of isolation and confusion, leaving us unsure of how to forge genuine connections.
In our work together, we will focus on rediscovering your self-worth and empowering you to establish the meaningful connections you deserve. My goal is to help you restore trust in yourself and others, creating a safe and supportive foundation for your relationships. My focus is on listening to your experiences and supporting you as you explore and work through challenges. Together, we will develop a roadmap toward a future where you feel valued, secure, and connected to those around you.
