About
Being with other humans can be so uncomfortable! When we're faced with social opportunities, we might want to run or hide. Maybe we'll avoid plans, say "sorry" all the time, or go quiet in conversations. When we act like this, our bodies might do strange things, too. We might feel lightheaded, numb, or nauseous. Our voices may tremble, and our skin might break out in sweats - or worse. Sometimes, we'll have brutal headaches or stomach aches before an interaction even begins. Afterwards, we might ruminate about what we said or did, and then try to drown out our thoughts with bad habits. It’s a tiresome way to live… View 3 Photos Why does this happen? We know that childhood isn't all fun and games. And if we have the unfortunate experience of being bullied or mistreated when we're young, we can grow into adults who don't trust people - not even the kind ones - to be kind to us. The mistrust can show up in our careers, in our attempts at friendship or love...even with strangers. If this lonely pattern sounds familiar, you may be interested in the relief that group therapy can bring. As an expert in childhood trauma, I help adults learn about their social triggers and guide them to more confidence and healthy relationships. I create safe spaces for adults to gather and share how they’re feeling, at a pace that feels right to them.
