Therapy Topics
Frequent mood swings, intense emotional reactions, or difficulty calming down—especially in response to perceived rejection or threat.
A persistent internal sense of worthlessness, guilt, or shame, even when evidence contradicts those beliefs.
Struggles with trust, closeness, or feeling safe in relationships; often accompanied by cycles of withdrawal or conflict.
Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts that feel vivid, present, and hard to control.
You may constantly scan for danger or misread neutral situations as threatening—making everyday environments feel exhausting.
You might push people away before they can hurt you, or become overly dependent out of fear they’ll leave.
Deadlines, feedback, or authority figures can trigger panic or shutdown, even when you care deeply about doing well.
You question whether your emotions are “too much” or real, and often replay conversations or decisions with self-doubt or regret.
You’re wondering so now what?
Complex PTSD often stems from long-term, repeated trauma—especially in relationships or environments where you couldn’t escape, be heard, or feel safe. Therapy can help you gently process these experiences while building tools to navigate daily life. We focus on emotional regulation, self-trust, and relational safety, so you can feel more grounded in the present instead of being pulled into survival mode. Over time, therapy supports you in untangling shame, softening inner criticism, and creating boundaries that protect your nervous system and your peace.
You don’t need a diagnosis to start therapy. If any of this resonates with you, we welcome you to explore it with us—no pressure, no judgment.
