Trauma Therapy for Young Creatives

Sunday Scaries hit harder when your nervous system is stuck in overdrive.
For our clients, it is not just “dreading work.” It is perfectionism, people-pleasing, and a body that never feels safe enough to relax.

Here is what helps:
👉 Brain dump your to-dos so they stop looping in your head
👉 Sort them into now / later / never to release the pressure
👉 Use box breathing to interrupt the spiral
👉 Build in therapy time so you are not carrying it all alone
👉 Swap doomscrolling for a calming ritual
👉 Prep your body for rest so Monday does not feel like a crash

Your week does not have to start in survival mode. Therapy helps rewire those patterns so Sunday night actually feels like peace.

💛 Save this for your next round of Sunday Scaries and if you are ready for Sundays to feel lighter, comment PEACE and we will send you the steps to book a complimentary consultation.

Can EMDR help with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD)?
New research says… yes, it might.

BDD is when someone becomes intensely preoccupied with flaws in their appearance (often ones others don’t even notice). It can lead to endless mirror-checking, anxiety, shame, and avoiding social life altogether.

A recent study explored what happens when people with BDD go through 10 sessions of EMDR therapy. The results were powerful:
✔ Symptoms dropped by about 60%
✔ Body shame reduced by over 50%
✔ Self-compassion increased significantly
✔ Fear of rejection eased

What does that mean in real life? For some, it meant posting photos again, stepping outside without heavy makeup or a mask, and reconnecting socially without feeling trapped by appearance fears.

It’s early research, but it’s encouraging to see EMDR not only reduce symptoms but also help people build kindness toward themselves.

💛 Save this if you’re curious about the healing potential of EMDR.
💛 Share it with someone who might need a little hope.

You can’t think your way out of shame.

Because shame doesn’t just live in your thoughts, it’s stored in your body. The flushed cheeks. The knot in your stomach. The urge to hide.

That’s why affirmations like “I am enough” rarely work. Your nervous system is still bracing for danger.

Shame was once protective. It helped you survive when being yourself didn’t feel safe. But now it can soften.

Try this instead:
✨ Notice the sensations when shame arises
✨ Place a hand on your chest and breathe into the tightness
✨ Tell your body: “You’re safe now”

Shame heals when your body feels safe enough to trust I am enough.

This is the work we do in therapy.
💛 Follow for more trauma-informed practices.

If you’ve Googled “why do I jump at every little noise?” enough to feel frustrated, this one’s for you, beautiful…

Because the truth is, you don’t need to “toughen up.” You need clarity.

Startle responses aren’t random.
It’s not because you’re weak, dramatic, or “too sensitive.”

Most of the time, it comes down to your nervous system being primed for danger post-trauma, even when the danger is long gone. Your body learned to stay alert, so it keeps scanning, just in case.

And when you finally understand why this happens? You can stop blaming yourself and start using tools that calm the jolt instead of shaming it.

We’ve broken it all down in the carousel above, so you can stop second-guessing and start feeling grounded.

✨ Save this for the next time your body jumps at the tiniest sound.

Hey lovely, it’s officially time to ditch the doom scroll.

Try these instead, your body (and your nervous system) will thank you:

1. Shake out your arms + legs for 60 seconds 🌀
2. Splash your face with cool water 💦
3. Hum your favourite song 🎶
4. Do a butterfly hug 🦋
5. Stretch your jaw + yawn big 😮

✨ Save this list for the next time your body is craving regulation, not another scroll.

Double tap if you’ve ever felt like your worth was tied to your to-do list

As trauma therapists, we see this pattern often in high-achieving women - the constant doing, achieving, and proving as a way to feel safe in the world. But here’s what we want you to know: that little girl who learned she had to earn her worth? She did the best she could with what she knew then.

Now, you can learn new ways to feel safe and worthy that don’t require constant doing. Your nervous system can learn that rest isn’t just safe - it’s necessary.

Want to explore how trauma might be showing up in your daily patterns? DM us the word FREE if you’d like to book a free 20-minute consultation with one of our expert therapists.
