I am a Complex Trauma Survivor....

You have been strong for as long as you can remember. You don't know when the last time was that you felt safe. Everything feels hard and forget about setting boundaries. You don't know what is 'ok' and what 'isn't' because your life has been flooded with abuse.

Moving forward, healing, letting go all feel like a dream. Something you wish for but won't ever get for yourself. That's for others who haven't been through what you have...

If this resonated with you- you are not alone. Complex trauma leaves survivors hurt, scared, confused and lost in a world that was not designed for them.

EMDR doesn’t change your past.

It changes how your past lives in your body.

Clients often describe EMDR as:

• Feeling calmer in situations that once felt unsafe
• No longer reliving memories on a loop
• Finally trusting their body again

Trauma healing isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about returning to who you were before survival took over.

Many people come to therapy saying:

“I know I’m safe… but my body doesn’t.”

That’s where EMDR shines.

EMDR has been extensively researched and shown to be highly effective for treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and adverse life experiences.

Clients often report feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded—sometimes after years of feeling stuck.

This isn’t “quick-fix” therapy.

It’s deep, evidence-based healing.

Trauma doesn’t just live in our thoughts—it lives in our nervous system.

That’s why EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) works differently than traditional talk therapy.

EMDR helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel present-day.

The memory doesn’t disappear—but the emotional charge does.

✨ Less overwhelm
✨ More regulation
✨ Real relief

Healing isn’t about forgetting. It’s about freeing your nervous system.

Grief doesn’t only come from losing a person.

It can come from losing:

• who you were before the trauma

• the relationship you thought you had

• the future you imagined

• the version of yourself that survived for so long

This kind of grief often goes unnamed—and unsupported.

But it still deserves space, gentleness, and care.

💬 You’re allowed to grieve what never fully existed.

EMDR doesn’t erase your memories.

It changes how your nervous system holds them.

For trauma survivors, memories often live in the body—triggering fear, shame, or panic long after the danger is gone.

EMDR helps the brain reprocess those experiences so they no longer control your present.

🧠 Same memory.

💛 Less charge.

✨ More choice.

Healing isn’t about forgetting—it’s about reclaiming your life.

Leaving a narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationship is brave—but it’s rarely the finish line.

Many survivors feel more dysregulated, grief-stricken, or confused after leaving.

That’s not weakness.

That’s your nervous system finally realizing it’s safe enough to feel.

Trauma doesn’t heal on a timeline—it heals when the body no longer has to survive.

And that part deserves compassion, not shame.

✨ You’re not going backwards. You’re processing.

Hypervigilance. People-pleasing. Emotional numbness.

These aren’t character flaws—they’re adaptations to chronic trauma.

Complex trauma changes how the brain and body respond to safety. Healing isn’t about ‘fixing’ yourself—it’s about restoring a sense of safety over time

If leaving a narcissistic relationship felt impossible, it wasn’t weakness—it was your nervous system trying to survive.

Trauma bonds form through cycles of fear, hope, and emotional withdrawal. Healing starts when we stop blaming ourselves and start understanding the biology of trauma.

You’re not broken. You adapted

Grief doesn’t follow a schedule.
You can miss someone years later.
You can grieve people, versions of yourself, relationships, or futures that never came to be.
Some days you’ll feel strong. Other days, the ache returns unexpectedly—and both are part of grief.
There is no “right way” to grieve.
Only your way. And you don’t have to carry it alone. 🕊️

If you’re healing from narcissistic abuse, you may still question yourself.

Gaslighting, manipulation, and emotional control can leave deep wounds—self-doubt, shame, and confusion long after the relationship ends.

Let this be your reminder:

• You were not “too sensitive”
• You didn’t imagine the harm
• Your reactions made sense

Recovery is about reclaiming your reality, rebuilding trust in yourself, and learning what healthy connection truly looks like. You deserve safety, clarity, and peace. 🤍
