You Might Have Trauma If...

You find yourself avoiding getting too close in relationships.
You overly rely on important others in your life to make decisions or to know how to act.
You tend to rush into new relationships or friendships, and easily give up on your own interests.
Your drive to succeed causes you to overwork, to burnout.
You rely on alcohol or other drugs, gambling, or other potentially addictive or self-harming behaviors to avoid feeling intense emotions.
You binge-eat and/or restrict eating because it helps you feel in control of something in your life.
You struggle with saying no and setting boundaries with others and with yourself.
You have a harsh critical voice and low self-esteem.

About Complex (Developmental) Trauma

Complex trauma (also referred to as Developmental Trauma) refers to experiences during early childhood—often occurring within the caregiving environment—that might include physical/emotional abuse, neglect, high-pressure or over-involvement, among other experiences . Unlike isolated traumatic events, developmental trauma is typically chronic, affecting a child's sense of safety and stability.

As an adult who has experienced developmental trauma, you may be experiencing symptoms such as:

Difficulty Concentrating
Anger or Irritability
Shame
Anxiety / Panic Attacks
Self-Blame
Isolation
Feelings of sadness or hopelessness
Despair
Feelings of numbness or disconnection

Understanding that these symptoms are rooted in early adverse experiences rather than personal failings is a crucial first step toward healing.

I draw from a variety of modalities, as well as trauma-specific Neuro-Affective Relational Model, to help you ease your symptoms and find more peace within yourself and in your relationships.
