Codependency isn’t just a pattern of “helping too much” or losing oneself in another—it often reflects early experiences where love, attention, or safety felt conditional. People learn to prioritise others’ needs to manage anxiety, gain approval, or feel secure. Over time, this can create patterns of over-responsibility, emotional exhaustion, or difficulty asserting boundaries.

At Khiron Clinics, we look beyond the label to the lived experience and nervous system responses that maintain these dynamics. Recovery involves recognising underlying triggers, learning to self-regulate, setting compassionate boundaries, and cultivating autonomy. With trauma-informed support, clients can shift from survival strategies to authentic connection, finding balance between caring for others and caring for themselves.

Mindfulness isn’t just about calm; it’s about learning to feel safe in your body again. In our latest blog, we explore how trauma-sensitive mindfulness supports the nervous system, reduces distress, and helps rebuild a sense of safety and connection. From grounding and body scans to breathwork and compassionate awareness, these practices offer practical ways to navigate triggers and cultivate resilience.

Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, helps us understand how the nervous system shapes our sense of safety, connection, and threat. In trauma therapy, this framework reveals that healing isn’t just psychological but physiological. By working with the body’s natural responses, we can move from survival states of fight, flight, or freeze toward calm, regulation, and connection.

At Khiron Clinics, we integrate Polyvagal-informed approaches to help clients restore balance, rebuild trust, and experience safety within themselves and with others, because true healing begins when the nervous system feels safe.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-centered approach to trauma developed by Dr. Peter Levine, author of Waking the Tiger and In an Unspoken Voice. Inspired by observing animals in the wild, Levine noticed they instinctively release the energy of threat responses—fight, flight, or freeze—allowing them to recover quickly. Humans, however, often hold onto this energy, leaving the nervous system “stuck” in hyperarousal or shutdown. Even in safe environments, this can cause anxiety, numbness, or high reactivity. SE helps clients safely release trapped energy, restore nervous system balance, and cultivate a visceral sense of safety, presence, and resilience.

At Khiron Clinics, we integrate Somatic Experiencing with trauma-informed care to support healing of both mind and body, helping clients reclaim safety, connection, and wellbeing.

Khiron Clinics combines a ‘top-down’ approach to treatment with a ‘bottom-up’ (somatic) approach, working with both the mind and body to address the root causes of our clients’ challenges. This means we let the body’s responses and sensations guide us to uncovering and releasing stuck trauma and emotions.

This process helps to regulate our nervous system and therefore foster feelings of safety in the body and a greater sense of control over our emotions, triggers and reactions.

Because trauma often originates in relationship to others, more commonly in our early years, it continues to affect our ability to maintain healthy relationships later in life. This is why we encourage our clients in learning to practice effective communication skills, recognise triggers, and build coping mechanisms so that they can begin to experience healthy relationships in their daily lives.

Avoidant attachment often develops when early experiences taught that expressing needs wasn’t safe or effective. People with this pattern may withdraw in relationships, suppress emotions, or rely on self-reliance to feel secure. These behaviours aren’t coldness—they are protective strategies formed to manage overwhelm and maintain safety.

At Khiron Clinics, we see beyond the surface, helping clients notice how their nervous system responds to closeness, conflict, or intimacy. Through trauma-informed care, regulation practices, and relational support, avoidant patterns can shift, allowing connection, trust, and authentic engagement without feeling threatening or unsafe. Understanding your attachment style is the first step toward greater self-awareness, healing, and healthier relationships.

Depression, anxiety, PTSD, borderline… These labels describe symptoms, but they don’t capture the lived experience behind them. Often, those symptoms reflect a nervous system shaped by unresolved trauma, chronic stress, or early life adversity.

At Khiron Clinics, we focus on the underlying dysregulation that drives distress rather than just the diagnostic label. By creating a safe, supportive environment and helping clients regulate their nervous system, we empower them to move from surviving to thriving. Healing becomes a process of understanding what happened, recognising bodily and emotional signals, and learning strategies to restore connection, safety, and resilience.

At Khiron Clinics, we’re deeply moved by the courage of our clients. Healing from complex trauma takes time, compassion, and the right therapeutic support.

Neurodivergersity influences how the nervous system experiences and responds to stress. For some, sensory overload, social uncertainty, or unexpected changes can trigger fight, flight, or shutdown responses more quickly. Trauma may amplify these reactions, making it harder to regulate emotions, maintain focus, or feel safe in relationships.

At Khiron Clinics, we go beyond the diagnostic label to understand each individual’s unique nervous system patterns. By combining trauma-informed care with neurodiversity-sensitive strategies, we help clients develop self-regulation skills, build resilience, and create pathways to safety, connection, and authentic engagement in everyday life. Healing looks different for everyone, and our work prioritises understanding, compassion, and tailored support.
