About

Avoid or control: these are the two ways you’ve coped. And you’re resilient! Your strategy has worked—at least it used to work… Now, you’re realizing you’re reacting to your trauma in ways that are no longer helpful. You’re shaming yourself, isolating, and shutting down, and you frequently find yourself back to that familiar numbness. Even if you’re able to identify these maladaptive patterns, nothing you’ve tried seems to change anything. You wonder if this is just how life is going to be, as everything continues to spiral out of control. You need to feel safe, but you don’t know how.
