You’re feeling stuck in this cycle of shame, always haunted by the past and powerless to move forward.
Something bad happened, and now it feels like those memories keep catching up with you.
You’re dealing with anxiety, you don’t want to get out of bed, and there’s this constant unease in your mind that just won’t go away.
You may have said things like:
Even though I know I’m safe now, my body doesn’t feel it.
People keep saying ‘it’s not your fault,’ but I can’t stop thinking that it is.
I’ve been talking about my trauma for years, but I still get triggered and emotional every time I think about it.
If this sounds familiar, you’re probably feeling trapped, unsure how to break free, and that only makes the shame, fear, and anxiety worse.
But here’s the thing: you’re not stuck. You can absolutely break out of this. You just need the right tools and guidance to get there.
That’s where we come in. Trauma therapy can help you reclaim your life and move forward.
Trauma therapy can help change the way you feel and think.
Trauma therapy helps to move through those painful feelings & memories by allowing your brain to do what it is naturally meant to do - heal.
And when we fully process the memories, they no longer hijack your present day experience because your brain is no longer living in a state of constant danger.
The feeling of having that stress & mental pain released can be such a relief - both physically and emotionally.

Such a reasonable question to ask, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this one. Everyone’s journey with personal therapy is unique to them - and the work moves at its own pace. You and your therapist will discuss during your first appointment and determine how long and how often you will meet.
