Therapy for Complex Trauma
Loneliness, depression, isolation, turning against ourselves, boredom, addiction, excessive confusion and overwhelm…these all have something in common.
A sense of aloneness.
They’re signals from a nervous system that’s had to work too hard for too long.
If you grew up in an emotionally unsafe home, or carry the weight of complex trauma, you may feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, disconnection, or quiet self-erasure. Even if you look fine on the outside, it might feel like you’re constantly managing a storm within.
In therapy, we’ll work together to:
Untangle Internal Conflict: Make sense of the parts of you that long for connection and the ones that feel safest shutting down.
Understand Your Nervous System: Learn why your responses make sense and how to support regulation without shame.
Heal in Relationship: Explore old relational wounds so they don’t keep defining your present.
Rebuild a Felt Sense of Safety: In your body, in your boundaries, and in how you relate to yourself.
This isn’t therapy for managing symptoms on the surface. It’s therapy for going deeper (gently, at your own pace) with a therapist who respects your insight, sensitivity, and need for real safety. We’ll use Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, Self-compassion and Coherence work to dig deep and recover you.
