Trauma and Abuse

Struggling… and don’t know why?

Maybe you’ve experienced an extremely stressful or disturbing event… or maybe a lifetime of smaller events.

Hurt, by someone who was supposed to care for you… feeling helpless and emotionally out of control.

Do you just feel numb, disconnected, and unable to trust others?

When bad things happen…

Trauma can leave you overwhelmed with disturbing emotions, memories, and anxiety that won’t go away.

When bad things happen, it can take a while to get over the pain and feel safe again.

But if you’re wondering, “Will it ever go away?” Yes, it can… it does.

Whether the trauma happened years ago or yesterday, you can make healing changes and move on with your life.

Is this what they call “trauma?”

Physical, emotional, and psychological trauma result from extraordinarily stressful events that shatter your sense of security—making you feel helpless in a dangerous world.

Traumatic experiences often involve a threat to life or safety, but any situation that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and isolated can result in trauma, even if it doesn’t involve physical harm.

You’re more likely to be traumatized by an event if you’re already stressed, have recently suffered a loss, or have been traumatized before… especially if the earlier trauma occurred in childhood.

You may have experienced trauma if…

You’ve experienced a one-time event, such as an accident, injury, or a violent attack—especially if it was unexpected or happened in childhood.

You have ongoing, relentless stress, such as living in a crime-ridden area, fighting a life-threatening illness, or suffering distressing events that occur repeatedly… such as bullying, domestic violence, or childhood neglect.

You’ve endured other childhood traumas: an unstable, unsafe, or neglectful home situation; separation from a parent; severe illness or medical procedure; sexual, physical, or verbal abuse; or domestic violence.

You have other “commonly overlooked causes,” such as surgery (especially in the first 3 years of life), the sudden death of someone close, the breakup of a significant relationship, or a humiliating or deeply disappointing experience—especially if someone was deliberately cruel.

You’re not alone, and we’re here to help.

We specialize in helping others work through very difficult situations (traumatic events) and lifelong trauma (called complex trauma).

So, we know that there is hope and healing for you.

We also know that this is a huge step for you. You probably feel vulnerable and raw… and trust is most likely a major issue for you.

That is why we have spent so much time understanding trauma and complex trauma. We know this will be a journey of a thousand steps, each one possibly painful.

Reach out to us… you deserve the change.

We are here to walk alongside you as you discover and learn to experience freedom from the prison that you’ve been living in.

This is a gentle but deliberate process that creates space to rediscover truth, self-worth, and your authentic self.
