Are you struggling with the effects of childhood trauma?
Right now, you might be experiencing:
- Worthlessness and Shame: A deep sense of shame and worthlessness about who you are.
- Profound Loneliness: Feeling like you’re alone in the world, the black sheep of your family.
- Fragmented Memories: Few or no memories of your childhood, feeling like it’s a fog or a big blank.
- Overwhelming Emotional Responses: Strong, overwhelming somatic and emotional responses with no clear triggers.
- Boundary Issues: Rigid or nonexistent boundaries, making it challenging to stand up for yourself and be responsible in your relationships.
You’ve started to recognize how unresolved childhood trauma is impacting your life:
- Feeling Stuck: You feel like everyone else got the Handbook to Life, but not you, leaving you stuck and unsure how to move forward.
- Coping Through Harmful Behaviors: You cope with your painful emotions through eating disorders, reckless behaviors, or substance use.
- Relationship Struggles: Good relationships feel like a mystery, and you don’t know how to figure them out.
- Inability to Set Boundaries: You want to hold better boundaries with the painful people in your life but have no idea how to do it.
- Doubts About Parenting: You long to create a family of your own but question your ability to do so because of your past, feeling broken and unequipped to parent.
You’re wondering…
- Is what I went through in my childhood really 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 to resolve my childhood trauma?
- Can someone as “broken” as I feel actually have a happy and fulfilling life?
- Does childhood trauma recovery therapy actually work?
You’re longing for…
- A Normal, Happy Life: Something better than what you came from and what you see in your family of origin.
- High Self-Regard: The ability to think highly of yourself, so much so that you don’t allow an abusive person anywhere near you.
- Boundary Skills: The skills and tools to set boundaries with the painful people in your life and the confidence to consider estrangement if necessary.
- Healthy Relationships: Fulfilling relationships with friends, a romantic partner, and your own children.
- 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.
At Evergreen Counseling, we have a team of seasoned, evidence-based trauma-trained therapists who specialize in treating childhood trauma.
Imagine the Transformation Through Trauma Therapy
By pursuing trauma therapy for childhood trauma, you can imagine:
Before Therapy
After Therapy
Denial about your childhood experience, a denial that’s keeping you from healing.
A clear understanding of how your past actually was, how it impacted you, and the support to begin to grieve and heal from it.
Frenzied efforts to keep the painful feelings at bay—eating disorders, substance use, risky behaviors, etc.
The ability to face and tolerate your feelings, handling them more skillfully.
Erratic, chaotic, and dysfunctional relationships.
Healthy, functional, stable relationships.
Feeling at the mercy of your past, the people from your past, and the critical voices in your head.
Experiencing more choice and possibility in your beliefs about yourself, others, and the world, with increased capacity to act in alignment with these beliefs.
