Kellie Sheldon - Trauma and Sex Counsellor

I know what you want more than anything right now is healthy relationships, attachments and s*xual freedom to be who you are. You can make changes.

🫠Still feeling stuck after trauma?

🌷Therapy for childhood & s*xual trauma survivors
🫶🏼Helping your body & mind feel safe again - EMDR & parts work
📍 2 locations in Perth,online across Australia
🪴 A place to understand trauma & take back your life. For that to happen, though, you need a safe space filled with empathy where judgement and shame cannot survive. The problem is trusting somebody to be that individual with whom you can explore and discuss your true self without fear of being shamed, judged, or misunderstood, this makes you feel like something is wrong with you, and you are a lost cause. I believe unconscious patterns are the driving force behind troubled relationships, attachments and s*xual concerns. We know patterns come from trauma, family secrets and lies, and parenting styles. I understand it's scary and exhausting to look inside and make changes. However, I know you are resilient, brave, and full of hope. That's why I sit with you during your time of pain, and confusion and help you understand life and yourself, as a whole, not just parts. We will draw your family tree, look into your lifeline and explore your memories. We will look at your future, past and present to gain a complete picture of who you are - and all at your own pace. Here's how it works: we start by getting comfortable with each other, explore your past, set goals for change and understanding, and then work together to achieve them in an open, authentic, and protected environment. So, take the most challenging step and connect with me today, book an appointment, or simply call. You can stop feeling alone and confused, start being who you want to be, live a life of joy, and have successful relationships. I am a University qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with a special interest in relationships, attachment styles, family of origin, trauma, inner child work, and s*xuality. I also work within the scope of anxiety, depression, loss, and grief. I am a member of The Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

Some days it’s the tiniest crap that takes you out.
Not the big life stuff - not grief, not breakups, not trauma flashbacks - just… the text you can’t answer. The email that makes your brain go blank. The stupid cup on the bench you meant to put away three days ago.

And you sit there thinking, Why do I overreact all the time!!??

Because your body isn’t reacting to the cup or the caught pocket on the door handle.
It’s reacting to everything that came before it.

You’ve held it together for so long that one tiny wobble is enough to tip the whole tower over.
You freeze at small talk because pretending you’re fine is exhausting.
You tear up in traffic because you’ve hit your emotional quota for the day.
Your shirt feels too tight and suddenly the world is too much.

It’s your body quietly whispering, I’m done. I’ve got nothing left. Please stop asking me for more.
People who’ve never lived in survival mode won’t get it.

But you do. We do.
You know what it’s like for something microscopic to hit you like a truck.
And honestly?
Coping looks like walking around your house with zero pants on because clothes are too loud.
Coping is avoiding the phone because the thought of replying feels like doing your taxes.
Coping is crying over cold chips because your system is cooked and that was the final straw.

You’re not falling apart , you're overwhelmed, saturated.
There’s a difference.

If today feels like wet cement and every step is heavy and slow, that doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It means your body is waving a tiny tired flag saying, Can we please have a break?

So take the damn break.
Eat toast for dinner.
Let the messages sit.
Wear the soft clothes.
Be a bit feral if you need to.

No one gets a medal for powering through overwhelm.
🧡 Save this for the days you’re crying over nothing.
🔁 Share it with someone who needs permission to just… not be a functioning adult today.

Quiet moments matter. 
Sometimes all regulation needs is a single, gentle anchor. Your breath.
 Match it to the waves: slow, steady, soft.
 Feel the rise and fall in your chest, the way your shoulders loosen, the tiny relief that spreads down your arms and spine. Notice how your body settles, how your mind can pause, even for just a few seconds.
 This is enough. This is grounding. This is you, right here, right now.

It’s not always the big, obvious moments that shape us.

Sometimes it’s the quiet things that happened to you: no one noticing your stress, no one asking how you’re really doing, no one checking in while you silently struggle.

Sometimes it’s feeling invisible while everyone else seems to have it together, and you’re just barely holding on. That ache in your chest, that tension in your body, that “something’s off” feeling...
I promise you, it’s real and it can have impacted your life.

Just because no one yelled, hurt, or screamed at you, doesn’t mean you weren’t affected. Neglect, absence, and small misses leave their marks too.

You’re allowed to feel it, name it and you are absolutely allowed to be seen because of it.

If this hits home, reach out or book a session. You deserve support that meets you where you are.

Everyone is focused on the reaction, but the real key is why you reacted that way BUT childhood trauma, especially CSA, wires your reactions to be at the flick of a switch.

Your body learned to scan, predict, and protect. That pattern of how your body reacts don’t switch off just because you’ve grown up.

These responses come from history, not weakness and once you understand that, things start to make a lot more sense.

You don’t need to cry for what happened to you to matter. Some people fall apart on the outside and others fall apart on the inside, and both are real.

Your body doesn’t care about looking emotional; it cares about keeping you safe. If you froze, went quiet, or felt nothing at all, that wasn’t you being “fine.” That was your system doing whatever it had to do to survive.

Your trauma isn’t measured by tears. It’s measured by impact. And you’re allowed to name that impact, even if you never shed a single tear.

Save this if you need to hear it again later. Share it if someone you love downplays their pain.

Everyone loves to talk about “promiscuity” like it says something about a person.
It doesn’t.

Some people use s*x to cope, to feel wanted, to keep the peace.

Others do it because they genuinely enjoy it with no deeper meaning, no hidden wound.

The problem is, we throw the same word at both groups.
And usually as an insult - especially towards women.

If s*x helped you survive, that doesn’t make you broken.
If s*x is how you express yourself, that doesn’t make you reckless.

Neither one deserves shame.
What matters isn’t how much you have - it’s why you’re having it.

Are you choosing it, or is it choosing you?*

That’s the difference between trauma and true empowered freedom.

If you’re trying to figure out your way through this - reach out.
We can help you do that safely, without shame, and at your own pace.
