Trauma & Chronic Stress

Heal past wounds with proven, gentle methods.

Signs you might relate:

  • You feel "on edge" much of the time, even when things are going well

  • Certain situations trigger intense reactions that feel out of proportion

  • You have trouble trusting your own perceptions or decisions

  • Sleep is difficult—either falling asleep or staying asleep

  • You find yourself avoiding people, places, or activities without clear reasons

How therapy helps:

Trauma isn't always about major events—it can come from ongoing stress, neglect, or invalidation that built up over time. Your nervous system learned to stay alert to keep you safe, but now that hypervigilance might be interfering with the life you want.

Using trauma-informed approaches, we'll work at your pace to help your system feel safer. This means building emotional regulation skills first, then gradually processing difficult experiences in a way that doesn't overwhelm you.

What you might notice:

  • Feeling more settled in your own body

  • Triggers becoming less intense and less frequent

  • More trust in your instincts and boundaries

  • Relationships that feel safer and more genuine
