Healing From Childhood Adversity (emotional neglect, trauma, difficult family dynamics)
Childhood Adverse Experiences — Healing Old Wounds
At True Therapy, I believe that while your past may have shaped you, it doesn’t have to define you. Difficult early experiences — whether emotional neglect, abuse, or instability — can leave lasting marks on your relationships, self-esteem, and emotional health. Together, we can begin to heal those old wounds.
Signs You May Be Carrying Childhood Wounds
- Difficulty feeling safe in relationships
- Fear of abandonment or rejection
- Perfectionism or overachieving to feel worthy
- Feeling disconnected from emotions
- Trouble setting healthy boundaries
- Harsh self-criticism
- Emotional triggers that feel bigger than the current moment
How I Can Help
Our work may involve:
- Processing painful memories in a safe, structured way
- Understanding how past experiences shape present choices
- Building new, healthy relational patterns
- Developing self-compassion and a stronger identity
- Finding safety and stability in the here and now
I often use EMDR and attachment-based approaches to help you release the grip of the past.
Your past may have shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define you.
