About me
Looking to "get past your past"? Tired of coping with dissociation, flashbacks, and triggers associated with prior trauma?
Hi there! Just so you know...When someone goes through what you went through:
Forgetfulness is normal.
Losing time is normal.
Wanting to "just get on with life" is normal...and so is past trauma "catching up with you," despite your best efforts.
Mixed feelings about the ones you love, who also hurt you, are normal.
Parts are normal - they were your way of helping yourself get through it.
Difficulty accepting their existence is normal.
Feeling like it's difficult to cope now is normal.
Giving up on talk therapy because it doesn't seem to work is normal.
Now imagine...
Shaking that traumatic event you thought you'd never be able to get go of.
Embracing healing, instead of remaining stuck and frozen.
Having tools to get you out of "freeze mode".
Feeling embodied, and accepting the new person you are because of the trauma.
Let's make that your reality, together.
