You have experienced emotional abuse. Maybe you have experienced physical abuse or even sexual abuse.
Anyway you cut it, you blame yourself for the experiences you have been through.
You are trying your best to cope with your complex trauma but you notice yourself feeling anxious, agitated, sad and confused.
These BIG emotions have felt too overwhelming to acknowledge, so you continue to ignore them or the latter can sometimes happen…you become triggered and have difficulty managing those emotions when they come to the surface.
You can become explosive with yourself and those around you.
If you are feeling the ripple effects of past trauma or experience intense emotions such as shame, sadness, low self-esteem, anger, or anxiety, I know how to help!
I am Caitlyn and together, we can walk through the difficult emotions and experiences you’ve had. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced emotionally painful and distress experiences like emotional pain or abuse, psychological trauma, and sexual abuse. Through a supportive therapeutic space, we will reconnect you to your trauma in a safe way by revisiting images, thoughts, emotions and body sensations associated with the trauma you experienced by utilizing a technique called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I will work with you to facilitate your brain's natural healing to reprocess maladaptively stored memories into helpful, productive memory storage.
Together, we will get in touch with your body and mind in ways you never were able to tolerate before, grow in self-awareness and get the real healing you deserve.
In our time together, we will hold space for the pain and trauma experienced so you can experience the natural healing powers of your brain to move toward healing. We will navigate and find empathy for your younger self, empathy for the difficulties of the situation and a larger understanding of what happened.
