Therapy Issues

Attachment Trauma

Are you struggling with attachment trauma?

Right now, you might be experiencing:

 

  • Chronic Relationship Challenges: Persistent patterns of dysfunction in your relationships, making it hard to form healthy connections.
  • Shame and Low Self-Esteem: A pervasive sense of worthlessness that affects your daily life.
  • Fragmented Memories: Few or no memories of your childhood, feeling like it’s a fog or a big blank.
  • Emotional Overwhelm: Easily feeling emotionally flooded and overwhelmed, often without a clear trigger.
  • Poor Boundaries: Difficulty standing up for yourself and maintaining healthy boundaries, leading to feeling taken advantage of.

You’re realizing that unresolved attachment trauma is hindering your life:

  • Inability to Form Healthy Relationships: You can’t seem to attract, let alone keep, healthy, functional, mutually supportive relationships.
  • Social Withdrawal: You’re increasingly isolating because relationships feel exhausting and draining.
  • Self-Medicating: You’re noticing that you’re drinking more wine, taking more edibles, and bingeing at night to keep the painful feelings at bay.
  • Lack of Direction: You feel rudderless—like you don’t know where you’re going in life and like you’re treading water.
  • Doubt About Family: You long to create a family of your own but question your ability to do so because of your past.

You’re wondering…

  • Is what I went through in my childhood really attachment trauma? Was it even traumatic at all?
  • Shouldn’t I be over this by now?
  • Is there any hope for me if 20, 30, or 40 years have passed? Is it too late?
  • Can someone as “broken” as I feel actually have a happy and fulfilling life?
  • Can trauma therapy actually help me?

You’re longing for…

  • Healthy Relationships: Loving, healthy, supportive relationships—the kind you used to dream about having when you watched Friends.
  • Quieting the Inner Critic: That abusive, relentless inner critic voice inside of you to be quiet, allowing you to think more supportive and kind thoughts about yourself.
  • Emotional Peace: The ability to wake up and not feel fearful all day long.
  • True Confidence: A sense of confidence and esteem—not the fake kind, but the real, unshakeable kind.
  • Healing and Growth: The ability to heal whatever may be in your past so that you can have a good adulthood.

What you’re longing for is possible.
