EMDR Trauma Therapy
Picture It. As a child, you grew up in a home where one of your parents worked hard day in and day out to make ends meet, and your other parent was strung out on drugs. Your responsible parent did the best they could but didn’t show their feelings, and you all struggled to make ends meet. You were molested by multiple people, including a few family members, but you held that in and carried it with you, not telling a soul. You learned somewhere in all of this to stay out the way.
Being bullied in school, made to feel like you didn’t matter at home, and growing up in a toxic environment might have left you feeling like you don’t matter and you are not worthy. And you know logically that these thoughts are not true but you just can't shake those deep feelings.
Now as an adult, you are killing it in the boardroom, completely successful in your career, and everyone knows you are the person to get $hit done! Yet, when you go home, you feel alone and inadequate.
You're the strong one that everyone relies on but no one is checking on you. And you're sick of being resilient! Feelings of pressure to take care of everybody else, needing to please people who really aren't concerned about you, and trying to be perfect all the time are emotionally and physically exasperating! It's like there's an internal motor driving this that you just can't shut off.
Emotional Injuries Often Manifest As:
- Saying yes to others when everything inside you is screaming NO!!!
- Never stopping to celebrate your wins and moving right on to the next one
- Overextending yourself to make everyone else happy
- Working 60+ hour weeks and walking around feeling like a shell of a person
- Shrinking in front of others/downplaying your skills and value
- Constantly shutting down
- Absence of REAL, long-lasting friendships and relationships
- Avoiding conflict at all costs
- Using drugs or alcohol more than usual to deal with life
It is time to prioritize yourself because you matter! I join you on the journey to becoming who YOU want to be. I help you learn how to show up authentically and unapologetically, without the need to code-switch around different people. Through EMDR therapy for trauma, depression and anxiety, this is achievable! You can have the life full of joy and meaningful relationships that you desire!
