TRAUMA-INFORMED INDIVIDUAL, COUPLE, AND FAMILY THERAPY
Helping individuals and relationships heal from the effects of trauma and addiction.
WHEN ADDICTION AND TRAUMA ARE A PART OF YOUR STORY, YOUR RELATIONSHIPS CAN REFLECT SURVIVAL AND PROTECTION RATHER THAN INTIMACY, SECURITY, AND TRUST.
You yearn for safety and closeness within your relationships, but there’s something in the way. To be seen and heard, you need new tools specific to your relationships and to your needs–you need new patterns.
In therapy, we learn to observe our reactions and protections that make up our patterns–those patterns that make our relationships feel the same, even with different people and different contexts. By befriending our patterns, we can learn to build new means of connecting in our relationships with ourselves and others. New means of connecting that look and feel more like what we want, not just what’s familiar.
THERE ARE NEW PATTERNS TO UNCOVER–PATTERNS THAT NOURISH CONNECTION, NOT DISCONNECTION.
Maybe there’s a pattern of conflict and escalation that’s preventing emotional depth in your relationship, something you both are craving.
Maybe a core wound has made trusting others challenging for you, and you’re ready to heal.
Maybe you get panicked and cling–or pull away–when intimacy comes knocking. You’ve read about insecure attachment, but can’t seem to break the patterns.
YOUR PATTERNS MAKE SENSE. THEY ARE A REFLECTION OF WHAT’S HAPPENED TO YOU–WHAT YOU’VE NEEDED TO SURVIVE.
