Trauma Doesn’t Always Announce Itself Loudly. Sometimes It Just Feels Like You’re Always On Edge.
You’re not too sensitive. Your body is just still holding what your mind hasn’t had space to unpack.
Trauma isn’t always a single, dramatic event. Sometimes it’s the slow accumulation of hurt: growing up without emotional safety, always being the responsible one, walking on eggshells in your own home, or never feeling like your pain counted.
It might be the loss you never fully processed. The betrayal that shook your sense of self. The medical experience that left you more shaken than you admitted. Even if you’re not calling it “trauma,” your body might be.
If you’re anxious, shut down, emotionally numb, or exhausted from trying to manage things that used to feel easy—it’s not a personality flaw. It could be the residue of trauma.
You May Be Living with Trauma If You:
Avoid certain places, people, or situations and can’t fully explain why
Feel emotionally numb, foggy, or disconnected from yourself
Have intrusive memories, nightmares, or flashbacks
Constantly feel on edge, irritable, or like you’re bracing for something bad
Experience sleep problems, fatigue, or unexplained physical tension
Feel guilt, shame, or a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
Struggle to trust others—or yourself
Maybe you’ve said things like: “It wasn’t that bad.” “Other people have been through worse.” “I should be over it by now.”
But the truth is: if it still lives in your body, it still matters.
Healing From Trauma Is Possible—And You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
Trauma can make the world feel unsafe. It can make you feel unsafe in your own skin. But healing isn’t about reliving the pain. It’s about helping your nervous system feel like the threat is over—so you can finally rest, connect, and be present in your life again.
In my practice, I offer trauma-informed therapy for women who are done just “managing” and are ready to truly heal.
I use evidence-based methods like:
🌿 EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
A powerful, body-aware approach that helps process painful memories without needing to retell every detail.
🌿 Brainspotting
A gentle but deep method that works with the brain and body to access trauma stored below the surface.
