“I had a great childhood! I had food and a roof over my head and there wasn’t anything crazy big that happened.”

Is what I hear from sooo many of my clients. Who are also saying “but I’m sooo anxious and depressed. I have low self esteem, and my relationships are suffering.”

As we unpack what their childhood looked like.. we slowly sort out traumatic experiences that just seemed normal to them.. but we’re less than ideal for their nervous systems.

When we view their symptoms through the lens of trauma.. it makes sense they would feel so incredibly anxious.. because they have been in flight or fight since they were a young child as they survived the unendurable.

There is space for you to be heard. To unpack what it was like for little you.

It’s not just “how it was”. It was s**tty experiences and your pain is valid.

How does this statement resonate with you 👇🏼

“I fu**ed up” vs. “I’m such a f**k up”

Because there is definitely a difference!

Guilt is a feeling you get when you did something wrong, or perceived you did something wrong. Shame is a feeling that your whole self is wrong, and it may not be related to a specific behavior or event.

When you feel guilty about the wrong thing you did, you can take steps to make up for it and put it behind you. But feeling shame is much more complex. You may have been convinced early on that YOU ARE the thing that’s wrong so it may feel hard to really “come back” to feeling more positive about yourself.

People who grew up in abusive environments, can easily get the message that they are undeserving, inadequate, and inferior.

Shame literally gets woven into your self esteem, self image, and self concept.

So how do we change this?

1. Talk about what you’re feeling with someone who is safe. (Support system or therapist)
2. Journal to really express and explore some of these deep feelings.
3. Have some self compassion for yourself, are we being a bully to ourself or a mentor?
4. Connecting with your inner child and being who they needed back then when they weren’t feeling like a “good kid”

Time to check in about where you are with the boundaries you uphold, because we all fall somewhere.

When you’ve experienced trauma, you’re more often going to fall into either mostly rigid or weak boundary categories unless you’ve done some healing work.

If you’re finding yourself really unhappy in your relationships, you may want to look at your boundaries in these relationships.

In therapy, we look at the boundaries you’ve set (or haven’t) in the relationships that matter to you most and we tweak how you approach these.

One thing that has been most valuable for my clients is using this phrase:

“I know that in the past I have ___ but I’ve been working on taking better care of myself and that is why I’m going to ___.”

If you’re ready to work on your boundaries, let’s chat.

You’ve come to the realization that you’re stuck, you’re wanting to dig deeper, feeling anxious or depressed and unable to manage life like you used to or maybe things from your past are coming up more frequently.

Maybe you’re struggling in your relationship or with connecting with your child or managing your emotions when overwhelmed by your children’s emotions. Or maybe you’re feeling disconnected from yourself and your self esteem has gone to s**t.

We got you. ✨
