Therapy for high functioning adults who still feel like something is missing
Psychotherapy for adults suspecting CPTSD, childhood trauma, and emotional neglect.
Want to play bingo?
If I had to guess 5 questions you’ve asked yourself in the last week, I’d go with:
Am I over exaggerating?
Why can’t I get past this?
Why does everything feel so hard?
I have a good life, so why isn’t it enough?
Why can’t I just be happy?
Honestly, you’re looking at it the wrong way (and that’s definitely not your fault).
What happens after the Googling
Your hours of researching, googling and reading has left you simultaneously relieved and somewhat guilty.
Relieved because things finally start to make sense
Guilty because you don’t believe what happened to you was “bad enough” (and you suspect many others had it worse)
Your hesitation to name what happened doesn’t solve your problem. The real question is: ‘Why do I still feel like I’m not okay, and wtf do I actually do about it?
I get it. And I won’t be shocked to hear you’re not in contact with your mother, your sibling relationships are fraught and the geographical distance that you put between you and your birth family didn’t help you feel better.
It’s not your intellect that’s tripping you up, it’s your feelings
And you’re not sure if you have any feelings? Well, you kind of proved my point, no?!
Not knowing what you feel is like trying to find your way without Google Maps. You won’t know what you like, what you don’t like, what you want more of.
That place in your head where you stick everything you don’t want to deal with? Well let’s just say, it’s not as secure as you thought. Your past is leaking into your present like the Upside Down in Hawkins, Indiana.
I can help
I’ve been doing this for 15 years now. I specialise in childhood trauma, so you won’t be left explaining why you can’t just have an honest conversation with your alcoholic mother.
We’ll also look at real ways to change this, because all insight and no action leaves you frustrated and confused.
