Nicole Schemenauer

Nicole Schemenauer I offer trauma-informed healing sessions for emotional processing, regulation, integration, and embodiment with a holistic, intuitive approach.

I'm a trauma-informed healer using somatic, attachment-rooted, nervous system and energy-based approaches to foster healing in internalizers from the effects of toxic parents/caregivers, helping to rewrite a new story around relationships and self-worth. Sessions are composed of somatic work, attuned touch, inner child healing, Reiki, energy, chakra, and spiritual healing, craniosacral therapy, crystal healing, movement exercises for emotional processing, coaching and cognitive work, and more. Safety is the foundation to healing the deepest levels of our Beings. Through a safe connection and container with my clients as the anchor, I intuitively work with emotions, fascia, the craniosacral system, viscera, tissues, chakras, the sacred inner child, beliefs, and the many other sacred parts of you! Relational trauma, wounding, and attachment work is my niche - I love helping people re-write their script for their human relationships!

So many people - particularly people who've been raised in toxic environments - live their lives consumed in shame, fearing their own emotions because someone told them (or implied) that they were "bad".

Emotions are not bad. They're also not weak, weird, or "ugly". BEHAVIORS can be harmful, destructive, mean, selfish... but feeling something? Feeling is part of being a human.

One of the many reasons I do what I do is because I lived in such immense shame much of my life, feeling like there was something deeply wrong with me. Now I am very passionate about creating a safe space for people who are truly ready to be themselves, honestly and authentically - to heal, to transform their suffering, to live fully as a human while here on this earth.

You're not alone. I'm here with you.

People often don’t think abuse β€œcounts” unless it’s blatantly overt. Covert abuse can be incredibly subtle, and many of us were trained to not recognize it (or are mocked as "too sensitive" if we do). Let’s look at just a few of endless examples:

Mary is 6. She is with her family at a reunion, and her father says, β€œhere’s your great aunt Millie! Give her a hug!”
Mary feels scared of this stranger, and does not want to hug her. Her parents are increasingly uncomfortable with offending aunt Millie and are uncaring towards their understandably nervous child. Mary hugs aunt Millie to appease her upset parents.

Mary learns that others get to decide their access to her body, not her. She’s also learning that her parents emotions are something SHE needs to fix/soothe, not the other way around.

Later, Mary is home, playing in her sister’s old dress-up clothes with delight. She finds a purple dress, puts it on with joy, and excitedly shows her parents.
Her mother has a look on her face Mary doesn’t understand. The mother is trying to hide a smirk, and is giving a side-eye look at Mary’s father across the room. Mary feels her heart drop as her confusion begins to mix with fear. The father quietly snickers.
β€œYou look... a bit round in that one. Maybe wear the pink dress.”
Mary’s face flushes as shame fills her body as she exits the room, pushing the dress-up clothes deep into the closet as to not be remembered of this moment. She doesn't understand what just happened, but she knows it felt horrible.

She is learning that the people who should love her most judge her if she doesn’t look a certain way. Mary also begins a lifelong, chronic pattern of incessantly reading people’s faces.

Had Mary’s parents had self-awareness of their behavior and took accountability, they could’ve gone to her and done all necessary to mend and repair the damage they caused. Instead, many such parents move on as if nothing happened, leaving the child to deal with the shattered pieces on their own, their trust in other humans withering as they do so.

As heartbreaking as our pasts can be, healing is possible, and you're worthy of it.

Saying "yes" with a smile when you really mean "no" is not being nice. It's a survival strategy.

But this is what we're taught to do. To deny ourselves, to be agreeable, and never make waves: that this is the measure of how good of a person we are.

We're taught that being even remotely nice or respectful to ourselves is "selfish" or "egoic", and that abusing and neglecting ourselves makes us lovable, worthy, and kind.

These are lies. These are lies that abusers and enablers benefit from, and that others may be ignorant to. You don't have to keep carrying these beliefs - you're allowed to rewrite your own script.

With the right people, saying "no" when you mean "no" makes you respectable, honest, authentic, trustworthy. The right people will appreciate you speaking up, and they'll delight in you being respectful to yourself. With the right people, you'll be held as a truly nice person when you're honest and kind to π‘¦π‘œπ‘’.

In truth and respect,

Nicole🩷

What's an internalizer?
Lindsy C. Gibson defines internalizers as individuals, often adult children of emotionally immature parents, who cope with their experiences by turning inward.
They are characterized by being highly sensitive, mentally active, and possessing a deep capacity for introspection and self-reflection.

We often subconsciously repeat our childhood until we have different experiences that rewire new ways of being in relationships.

You don't need to be any different to start...

But you do need to be ready.
Ready to let yourself be seen.
Held. Met.
To stop carrying it alone.

There are many powerful, helpful modalities in the world. While some are suited better to different people - and to certain times in one's healing journey - the relationship you have with the person you're working with is the most important factor in the success of your healing.

Do you feel safe enough to voice "no" or "maybe" to your practitioner? Even before being able to speak it - is there room for such feelings to exist in the space with them, do they invite your autonomy and choice in your process?
Do you feel deep or increasing trust in them?
Are they curious, open, and flexible, or are they fixed and rigid?
Are they holding space for you and your feelings, or trying to "fix"?
Is the space deeply accepting and non-judgmental?
Do they use a holistic lens, seeing you as the layered, complex, brilliant human you are?
Are they knowledgeable and delicate in the realm of trauma, if that's part of your journey?

The better the fit, the better your results. Your healing journey is worth your discernmentπŸ’œ

08/11/2025

How would you feel if you believed rest was as important as doing, accomplishing, working?

Because it is. It truly is.

We're told and shown, directly and indirectly, that our worth is hinged solely on how "productive" we are, how much money we're making, how "busy" and fast we are.

It's a lie. A destructive, harmful lie.

You're worthy because you are - because you're here, because you exist. You matter NOW. Just as you are.

Your time and energy are sacred, and you're allowed to nurture and protect them. You're allowed to do things slower, to not constantly wear the so-called badge of honor of "busy" at all times; you're allowed to be present, listening, and caring of yourself and your body.

Take a nap. Rest. Listen to the birds. Do what fill your cup, replenishes you, nourishes you. We know the result when we don't take the time: it's not happiness, joy, or vitality.
It's illness, chronic exhaustion, unhappiness.
This life doesn't last forever. It's wise to enjoy and rest in it while it's here.

Resting is a skill that many of us need to learn, and it's one of the most important skills we could ever have.

In tenderness.πŸ’œ

It is so common that people defend the very people who've traumatized them.
It is particularly common for victims to defend parents, family, and partners.
So... why on earth would someone defend the person who hurt them?

One aspect is that family loyalty runs deep - sometimes harmfully, dangerously deep.
Another aspect is that many people defend the perpetrator as a way to avoid facing the horror of the truth, and from feeling the pain of the harm.

The pain might just be too overbearing to hold on your own. And for facing the truth... it may lead you to questions you fear to answer:
"Is this how love acts?"
"Do I need to settle for less than I desire in relationships?"
"Am I obligated to stay in relationship to someone who decreases my quality of life?"
"Does this person take accountability, repair, grow and change?"
"How much of the emotional labor am I doing in this relationship?"
"...Do they even care about me?"

Just because someone says they love you doesn't mean they treat you with respect, dignity, dedication, and care.
Just because someone is family or has been in a relationship with you for decades doesn't make it healthy or mandatory.
Just because it hurts like hell to look at the truth doesn't mean you shouldn't look.

A reality of healing this deep is that it can be way too painful to handle on our own. This is normal.
We need connection and safe people to process and heal. People who will hold with us our righteous rage, our oceans of grief, our confusion, our longings.

This is my life's work.
I'm here for you, and all of the angry, hurt, scared, sacred parts of you.

β€œMy job is to be objective.”
No, it isn’t.

This one is so common in clinical spaces. But let’s unpack what it often actually means:
β€œI don’t want to sit with your emotions.”
β€œI’m uncomfortable being impacted.”
β€œI’m afraid of being seen as biased if I empathize too much.”

Here’s the problem:
Trauma isn’t healed through analysis alone. It’s healed in relationship.

And relationship requires attunement. Compassion. And sometimes, righteous outrage on behalf of your client.

A therapist saying, β€œI’m objective” can feel eerily similar to childhood dynamics where:
The parent stayed neutral while harm was happening.
No one believed you.
No one "took a side", therefore no one was ever on your side.

You don’t need neutrality.
You need truthful, loving alignment.
You don’t need someone who steps back to study you.
You need someone who steps in and says:
β€œThat should never have happened to you.”
β€œYou didn’t deserve that.”
β€œI’m with you.”

Being "too sensitive" is not the horrible flaw you've been told it was.

You see clearly. You feel clearly. You're in touch with life, with truth, with reality.

You're able to see through toxic systems and behaviors. You have a sense of morality that many lack. You have a sense of justice and a healthy fire in you.

So when they mocked you with, "you're too sensitive"?

That was about them, not you. They were mocking your superpower to make sure you stayed small, and to keep themselves unseen by your clarity.

Shine bright, you beautiful, sensitive soul. There are people out there just like you.

Getting support doesn't make you weak - quite the contrary.

The strongest people admit their vulnerability, their fears, their pain. The strongest people look at their wounds head-on in truth, humility, and with the willingness to change.

These are the people I work with: the ones who are ready to show up for themselves, to truly change from the inside out, to create a better present and future for themselves and the people around them. The people who are ready to show up honest, vulnerable, and open to receiving the support and care they needed all along. The people π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘‘π‘¦ π‘‘π‘œ 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙.

Your worth isn’t measured in doing

You are not more worthy when you are productive.
You are not more lovable when you are pushing yourself.
You are not more valuable when you are fixing, achieving, or proving.

Your worth is not something to earn.
It is something ancient. Something unshakable. Something inherent.
It was always there - beneath the trying and pusing.

This world taught you to equate β€œhard” with β€œgood.”
That suffering earns you love.
That resting makes you lazy.
That your softness makes you weak.

But those are wounds. Not truths.

What if your softness is sacred?
What if your beingness is already enough?
What if healing isn’t about becoming better...
…but coming home to what’s always been whole?

This is the space I hold -
Where you don’t have to perform, prove, or push.
Where your humanity is welcomed, not judged.
Where you come home to the worth that was never lost.

In love, healing, and truth,
🩷Nicole
