Childhood Trauma

Life was hard then, so it should be better now. Right?

You’d like to think you’ve grown up, but it doesn’t always feel that way. Scared, alone, afraid to let people know what you’re going through – just like when you were a kid.

At times, it’s like you’ve never even grown up. Fear, anger, self-criticism. It’s always been there.

The same old habits keep popping up. When you’re sad, you either stuff it down – or blow up at people. Or, sometimes, you just shut down and disconnect.

When you decide to be upbeat, it’s a tremendous push. You gut it out… and wait for it to feel real.

But it rarely does.

You seldom feel safe. It’s hard to trust people, and you wonder if there’s something fundamentally wrong with you.

You wish your past would quit haunting you.

Why can’t you forget it and move on? You find yourself saying, “If I were a stronger person, I could just forget it and be happy.”

You’d like to talk to someone about it, but what good would it do?

And the last thing you want is to drag someone else down, especially your family and friends.

Sometimes, it seems hopeless, but there is relief – through therapy.

Therapy will help you unload that burden.

Working together, we can get to the core of what weighs you down. Week by week, you can learn to reclaim your sense of self.

This is the key principle.

Childhood trauma can leave you with the feeling that your life is not your own.

You didn’t choose your childhood. And you couldn’t choose how to respond to it. Not then.

But this is now. And things can be different now. By building trust with a therapist, you can learn to become who you were meant to be.

You didn’t know how to handle it then, but you can learn now.

You can overcome the past. You can learn to choose your own path.

Call now. Conquer your trauma and become who you truly are.
