Healing the parts of you that talking can’t reach
TRAUMA-INFORMED THERAPY IN MASSACHUSETTS AND BOSTON
You can explain why you feel the way you feel, but it hasn’t changed a thing
Youʼve done the work and been in therapy, maybe for years. You can trace your patterns back to where they started and explain them to a close friend over coffee. But you still react to your triggers the same way, and itʼs as if, despite all logical understanding, trauma still lives in your body.
if you struggle with...
• People-pleasing
•Anxiety
• A difficult relationship with one of your parents
• Perfectionism
• Guilt, doubt, and never feeling good enough
•A painful experience you've never fully come back from
Understanding why you feel the way you feel doesn't undo what your nervous system learned. To heal, you need to go deeper than where words can take you—your body and nervous system.
Trauma doesn’t always look like trauma
Hereʼs what we can work on together:
-
Saying yes when you mean no, apologizing for things that aren't your fault, and going quiet instead of asking for what you need.
-
Your mind won't switch off, even when nothing is technically wrong. Or maybe you feel guilty about slowing down and on edge when you finally do.
-
Growing up as the responsible one, with a parent who couldn't meet you emotionally then and still can't now.
-
Impossibly high standards, a loud inner critic, and moving the goalpost every time you reach it.
-
An assault, an accident, a breakup, a betrayal, or a conversation that you still react to and think about, even if you’ve moved forward on the outside.
Recognize yourself in one (or more than one) of these?
