You’re not alone.

Prolonged early life trauma floods the nervous system with excess levels of stress hormones, heightening perceptions of danger, mistrust, and scarcity. Survival state becomes the baseline and threat becomes the lens through which we view the world. Sadly, this was needed in childhood when we were without emotional, mental, or physical safety. But this becomes a problem when we move into adulthood and the stuck feelings and panic of that scared lonely child move with us. Life feels heavy day after day and eventually the exhaustion and frustration can make the possibility of change seem hopeless.

If you feel this way, you’re not alone. Through therapeutic relationship, body based practices, and growing awareness - the nervous system can be rewired to its original state: calm, confident, self-compassionate, and filled with a felt sense of connection to others.
