Did you grow up in an environment where expressing your emotions felt unsafe?
Do you find it challenging to cope with the present due to past experiences?
Individual Therapy
The residual effect of unhealed wounds is often passed down through generations of families and can have a profound impact on your development. You may at times find yourself viewing the world in a way that hinders your relationships and restricts self-compassion and growth.
It is normal to minimize the impact of distressing events or difficult seasons in your life. It is your mind’s way of protecting you. Although this may feel helpful in the immediate moment your body keeps tabs and these unhealed wounds can present as clinical symptoms such as, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and dissociation. When emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or neglect occurs during development, the effects stay with you and primarily surface through communication styles and relational patterns.
Are you motivated to make a change and break generational cycles?
