Trauma can be caused by anything intensely fearful or shocking, like an accident, bullying or harassment at work or school, or being a victim of crime. If the fear stays with you and is not resolved, you can feel like you are stuck in a loop, returning repeatedly to the feelings of fear. I can work with you by providing a safe place to explore the fear and process it in a positive way.

Repeated exposure to neglect and abuse can lead to complex trauma. This is true not only for survivors of severe abuse, but also if you have experienced continual criticism as a child or never been allowed to have your feelings believed or heard. You may be having visual and emotional flashbacks, sleep disturbance, shame, panic, anxiety and low self-esteem. I will explore how your earlier experiences remain with you, so that you can process your feelings and learn to put these experiences into the past.
