Therapy Issues

Complex Trauma

Are you struggling with the effects of complex trauma?

Right now, you might be experiencing:

 

  • Profound Worthlessness: A deep sense of brokenness and feeling like you’re not good enough.
  • Emotional Challenges: Difficulty feeling and appropriately expressing your emotions.
  • Unstable Relationships: A pattern of unstable and fractured relationships, often leaving you feeling isolated and misunderstood.
  • Disconnection: Finding it hard to feel connected with other people, even those close to you.

 

You’ve started to recognize how unresolved complex trauma is impacting your life:

  • Feeling Lost: You feel like everyone else received a “Handbook to Life,” but you didn’t, leaving you feeling lost and unsure how to navigate life.
  • Longing for Connection: You deeply long for close, connected friendships like those you see on TV and in movies, but have no idea how to actually form those kinds of relationships.
  • Negative Self-Talk: You have a hard time thinking well of yourself and often catch yourself speaking harshly about yourself.
  • Persistent Low Mood: You live with a constant sense of depression, anxiety, and a generally low mood.
  • Uncontrolled Anger: You feel uncontrollably angry much of the time, often exploding at the people you love most.

 

You’re wondering…

  • How do I know if I have complex trauma? Is it the same as PTSD or C-PTSD?
  • Shouldn’t I be over it by now? My childhood was years ago.
  • Will I have to talk about all the details and relive them again? Why should I do that?
  • I feel broken. Is it too late to overcome this?

You’re longing for…

  • Active Participation: The ability to feel like an active participant in your life, not just a bystander.
  • Positive Self-Image: To think well of yourself and become one of those confident, esteemed people you admire.
  • Resilience: The ability to handle life’s stressors and challenges without feeling like every small surprise is a five-alarm fire in your body.
  • Close Relationships: To have close, connected relationships, especially with friends and romantic partners, and to show up with emotional regulation for them.
  • Inner Peace: To feel less angry and more content and peaceful.

What you’re longing for is possible.

At Evergreen Counseling, we have a team of seasoned, evidence-based trauma-trained therapists who specialize in treating complex trauma.
