Trauma Informed Therapy in Texas
Feeling exhausted and stuck?
Do you notice any recurring patterns and unhealthy dynamics within your family that have persisted for years, despite no one else acknowledging them? Are you the sole individual in your family who is courageous enough to confront the chaos, perhaps because you have been the one trying to mend or improve the situation? Would your family describe you as rebellious, as if you are abandoning them, "too sensitive," or excessively emotional?
You are not “crazy” and there is nothing wrong with you!
I want to help you get unstuck and validate what you have experienced, so you can find the freedom you deserve. Just remember, you are not "crazy," and there is nothing wrong with you!
We are here to support you in finding the validation you truly deserve.
“Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation, like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow.”
— Terry Real
Sound Like You?
Are you finding it challenging to deal with a difficult parent and experiencing conflicting emotions when visiting your family? Do you often feel guilty about these complex feelings? It can be tough to navigate these situations and strive to be a "good" family member.
Perhaps your parent struggles with substance abuse or an undiagnosed mental health condition. Maybe it's the family secret that nobody wants to discuss, but you can clearly see.
You have always felt like a parent long before becoming an adult. It was exhausting, and you coped well, but you are feeling drained and resentful for not being able to experience a proper childhood.
Trauma-Informed Therapy Can Help You Feel Understood!
When we experience trauma, it can leave us feeling a profound sense of powerlessness and lack of control in our hearts and minds. It's essential to recognize that trauma isn't just an isolated event; it has a profound impact on our brains and our perception of the world around us. To embark on a journey of true healing, it's crucial to delve deep into the understanding of what transpired, comprehend its implications, and grasp how it has shaped our mental, emotional, and relational well-being. Genuine healing from trauma begins with tending to our cognitive and physical selves and reclaiming the sense of empowerment to define and confront what transpired.
