Your child doesn’t have to carry it all alone. 💛

💡 If you feel like you have to do everything alone, struggle to ask for help, or pride yourself on not needing anyone—your independence may be rooted in survival, not strength.

Many people who are hyper-independent grew up in environments where support wasn’t safe, consistent, or available. So, they learned: Don’t rely on anyone. Do it yourself. Don’t need too much.

You may notice:

Feeling uncomfortable being vulnerable

Struggling to let people in—even those you trust

Believing that needing others is weak

Pushing through burnout without asking for help

Feeling isolated, exhausted, or unseen

Here’s the truth:
You weren’t meant to carry it all alone.
At Gateway, we help you untangle survival strategies from your core self—and relearn what it feels like to be supported, connected, and safe.

🧠 Did you know?
Unhealed trauma can show up in your relationships—without you realizing it.

You might notice:

Feeling unsafe when things are calm

Expecting people to leave, even when they haven’t

Becoming overly independent or deeply clingy

Struggling to express your needs

Pushing people away to protect yourself

Confusing intensity with love

These are not signs that you're “bad at relationships.”
They’re signs that your nervous system is still protecting you from past wounds.

At Gateway, we help you explore where these patterns began—and how to build new, safer ways of relating to yourself and others. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. It means learning you don’t have to live there anymore.

💛 You’re not “too much.” You’re protecting something sacred.
Let us help you feel safe in connection again.

👐 What if your healing journey started with rest?
Massage therapy at Gateway isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about reclaiming safety in your body.

Many of us carry stress, pain, and trauma in places words can’t always reach. That’s why massage can be such a powerful companion to therapy. It helps the body release what the mind has been holding.

✨ Massage at Gateway can support:

Stress & anxiety relief

Pain reduction that impacts emotional well-being

Better sleep and nervous system regulation

Deeper trauma recovery by releasing stored tension

You don’t have to keep carrying everything in your shoulders, jaw, or back.
You deserve care that speaks to both body and mind.

💡 Symptom Spotlight: Dissociation 💡
"Sometimes I feel like I’m here… but not really."

Dissociation is one of the most misunderstood trauma responses—and one of the most common.

It can show up as:

Zoning out or “losing time”

Feeling like you’re watching yourself from the outside

Going numb in conversations or conflict

Forgetting parts of your day

Feeling disconnected from your body or surroundings

Struggling to stay present, even in safe places

Dissociation isn’t weakness—it’s protection.
It’s your brain’s way of creating distance from overwhelm when things feel too big or too much.

But living in that state long-term can feel lonely, foggy, and exhausting.

At Gateway, we help you gently come back to the present. Therapy creates a safe space to understand your dissociation, reconnect with your body, and slowly feel more grounded—without judgment or pressure.

You’re not “too much.” Your brain has been protecting you.
Let’s help you feel safe enough to come home to yourself.
