Are you constantly feeling on edge, irritated, experiencing paralyzing feelings of anxiety and/or depression? Do you have flashbacks about a traumatic incident that you experienced? Nightmares? Do you have difficulty sleeping? Are you feeling ready to reconnect with yourself?

​

Living with trauma can feel like being stuck in an endless loop of fear, pain, or distress, even when the danger has passed. It lingers in the body and mind, showing up as flashbacks, nightmares, or an unshakable sense of unease. Everyday situations can trigger overwhelming emotions, making it hard to feel safe or present. Some people shut down emotionally, feeling disconnected from themselves and others, while others stay in a constant state of alertness, bracing for something to go wrong. Relationships can feel complicated—trust may be difficult, or closeness may feel threatening. Trauma can also manifest physically, leading to exhaustion, chronic pain, or tension that never fully goes away. There may be moments of self-blame or shame, questioning why you can’t just “move on.” Healing from trauma isn’t about forgetting—it’s about reclaiming a sense of safety, self-compassion, and control over your life, step by step. It’s challenging, but recovery is possible with time, support, and the right tools.
