Connection Leads to Transformation
As human beings we are designed to connect with others. Sometimes this need for connection can cause confusion, pain, and loneliness when we have experienced events that have left us traumatized. Complex PTSD or attachment trauma can make it difficult to find our footing.
When we try to find support with family, friends, or romantic partners we can’t seem to find our footing in these relationships despite trying to do “everything right”. We struggle when someone wants to get close and push them away, even though we desperately want to feel close to someone. Or we are suspicious of someone’s motives and keep our guard up. Or we shut everyone out completely because we seem to always be disappointed, mistreated, or abandoned by people who said they cared.
Other times we experienced other traumas that have caused PTSD and we have become emotionally numb and we operate on auto-pilot just trying to get through the day.
Together we can process traumatic experiences in childhood and in adulthood and how they impact us today. We can explore how our feelings and thoughts that make us uncomfortable seem to creep into our lives and cause disruption despite our best efforts to "just move on".
We can discuss how anxiety, depression, and attachment difficulties make life challenging, and work to give you the skills to manage these challenges even outside of our time together. The goal is to work together so you feel more like yourself, regain those parts of yourself you may have lost, be able to communicate your needs, advocate for yourself, improve relationships, feel more confident, and not let past traumatic experiences be your prison. Change and something different is possible!
