How I can help
Recovery from relational trauma, narcissistic abuse and bullying
Do you suffer from Relationship Trauma?
Many people think that trauma is limited to a single catastrophic life event or circumstance. But trauma can also occur gradually, over time, as the result of chronic destabilizing conditions or relationships.
Emotional and verbal abuse is all too common in today’s world. Even if it feels normal, it is very toxic and harming your health. Seeking counseling help is critical for stability and recovery.
If you are experiencing anything such as:
Feeling misunderstood or not believed
Overwhelming shame or guilt
Walking on eggshells in your relationships
A sense of shock or numbness
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious
Sense of being disconnected from others, loneliness
Recurring anxiety or panic attacks
Heightened or persistent sense of fear
Intrusive thoughts
Patterns of negative thinking
Insomnia, nightmares
Feeling easily agitated or startled
Suspicions of others motives and difficulty trusting others
Withdrawal from relationships or social settings
You may be struggling with trauma.
Are you or have you ever been bullied?
We live in a very stressful and chaotic time and many of us didn’t get the tools we needed to manage so much stress. In fact, many of us grew up in families where bullying and shaming was considered normal. Bullying and abuse is not normal and we can recover, find our strength and thrive.
