If you’re starting therapy and you don’t know exactly where to start, here’s a look into how I approach working with new patients.
🎯 Listen to you tell your story with careful attention being paid to core beliefs.
🎯 Timelines. Picking out 3-5 key events that shaped these core beliefs.
🎯 Memory Targets. We focus on these 3-5 events and go back to these core memories to process and unburden unresolved trauma via IFS & EMDR
As you are guided through this process with an empathetic witness you can begin to rewrite your story, reshape core beliefs and unburden from the secrecy, shame and silence they once harbored.

Healing is a process of self discovering, courage and vulerability. This journey involves feeling, expression, release and ultimately an UNBURDENING!

CPTSD is the result of chronic, prolonged, and repeated relational trauma. It is insidious and pervasive in our society; and for the survivors can feel like a death by a thousand cuts.
Healing from traumatic and painful life experiences is difficult. The walk is long, uncomfortable and to be frank often lonely but it is a process of evolution. The process of leaning into the discomfort of becoming acquainted with your wound and allowing a stronger self to emerge can be a beautiful, prideful, and transformative experience.

A look at Freeze Response 🔍 This snippet was taken from a discussion on how dissociation and other defense mechanisms can come from long term, pervasive peer bullying.
This is a real life example of how and why the body reacts in certain ways to intrusive situations. Our body is a powerful tool of protection and the most sophistated and valuable tool you will ever possess. Your body is your friend rather than your foe and always working to protect you.

IFS believes that everyone has a self-leadership quality which, when accessed, allows for a balanced relationship with all parts - meaning, you may need to work through finding harmony within your parts of self before engaging in EMDR sessions, but you will be able to heal your self energy so you can heal from your past. #ifs #emdr #ifstherapy #emdrtherapy #internalfamilysystems #complextrauma #cptsd #traumahealing #traumatherapy #selfhealer #psychotherapy #psychoeducation #emdrtherapist #emdrtherapyfortrauma #coreself #selfhealing #healingprocess

When you are walking on egg shells around someone else's polarizing emotions it can feel as thought you are collateral damage in their hurricane. Don’t try to control the storm. Control your reactions from within and the storm will pass.
There is so much in this life that you’ll never have control of, but you will have to deal with. Tuning into yourself, your emotions and your needs can help you better navigate the world around you.

There is no shortage of folklore surrounding the moon; our ancestors have long theorized its effects on our behaviors. Even in today's world, the belief that a full moon can stir up emotions, provoke bizarre behavior, and even cause physical illness is not just a literary trope. 🌕🌝🌕 #superbluemoon #supermoon #fullmoon #onceinabluemoon #superbluemoonenergy #superbluemoon2023 #moonhistory #lunar #moon #mooncycle #moonmagic #mentalhealth #moonlight
As a therapist I like to seperate a person from their behaviors, their patterns and defense mechanisms. It is not so much what is wrong with this person but the simple question of what happened to them? #complexptsd #cptsd #complextrauma #bpd #bpdtiktok #psychotherapy #therapistsontiktok #eupd #boarderlinepersonality #boarderlinepersonalitydisorder #psychotherapist #breakthestigma
The foundation of trauma healing begins with enhancing the survivor’s awareness and knowledge about the body’s responses to trauma, with the ultimate goal of locating a sense of safety within the body. #complextrauma #traumaresponse #bodytrauma #bodykeepsscore #fightorflight #hypervigilance #bodysafety #cptsd #heal #traumahealing #therapy #psychotherapist #therapytok
