Starting or continuing therapy with a provider is hard work, yay you for your courage to even consider this process. Here are some things that might be helpful to you to ponder before taking that final step to reach out.

Trauma Informed Care means the lens used to identify and work through issues is one that our bodies are made to respond in specific ways to SAFETY. When we feel safe, we are grounded, secure, curious, and resilient. When something is affecting those things, we will have symptoms to lead us to investigate root causes.
There are several ways we can have felt or do still feel unsafe: emotionally, relationally, or physically. It could be real or due to earlier childhood adverse events that still trigger or cloud the way we feel safe in the world, with other, or even within ourselves.
Understanding nothing happens in a vacuum and that all events have a context is helpful in this work. It is not to blame or excuse, only to explain where symptoms may have started from so that it can be integrated into our personal stories of eventual victory.
Living in reality is optimal mental health. For all of us, repression can be helpful in the short term to alleviate the knowing of difficult things we may not have the tools yet to be able to process. Healing however takes the willingness to learn new survival tools, look into the reality of situations, and get to a new freedom without continuing to carry the pain that weighs us down and affects present relationships negatively.
The work of healing can be bumpy but is so worth the ride if you choose to drive into the light. Healing is a choice though and can only be done by an interested, willing participant…

If this resonates or describes what you are looking to do, then take that next step and reach out today!
