Your healing will only take place in a place where it is safe to show itself.

Some of us know we have trauma in our backgrounds. We are aware of it, we remember it, and it exists in our episodic memory.

However, some of us experience ourselves as adults, and know that something doesn’t feel quite right, yet we can’t put the events together chronologically, or make sense of them, or validate them. And we haven’t been able to move forward.

Perhaps our level of insecurity feels high, or our relationships are misaligned and turbulent. Our coping skills may be lacking, our nervous system consistently dysregulated. We may be walking through the world, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Patterns may repeat themselves as if we are a broken record.

The first thing I know about humans is that we are social beings. We need people. We need people so we can start to see that we are not alone in this world, and we need to be supported in a way that we may not know how to exactly ask for.

Trauma is something that happened to us, that felt (or was) out of our control.

But when we move through life as if what has happened to us, in the past, is our current reality, our life can become impacted in ways we don’t intend.

Taking a step forward to work on your trauma is a brave choice. With patience and compassion, I will support you on this journey, so you can find freedom and know that you have control in your life.
