As a practicing psychotherapist for nearly 30 years, I have found that the key to healing is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up authentically. Rachel Willyung has 25 years of experience working with adolescents, adults and the elderly.

y (MBCT) and psychodynamic theory. Rachel’s personal style is that of a coach because she sees the client/therapist relationship as a team effort.

She practices a humanistic approach with her clientele, and will use her extensive experience to tailor treatment to your individual needs.

To the ones that truly understand this... you know exactly what this feels like. The constant pressure.
The stress that keeps you stuck in survival mode.
And then the criticism for not doing enough.
But the truth is — surviving what was meant to break you is already strength.
Some people will never understand this journey... but those who lived it will. -

"Growing up in a toxic yet loving household has gotta be one of the meanest things ever. Of course, my family loved me, but their actions are always so backhanded, and I never know if it's gonna be a good day or not.

"And if you pointed out something wrong, you became the problem; it was all your fault. Never realizing how abnormal the behavior is until you see other parents with their kids. Are you overreacting or being manipulated?

"I don’t think my grief will ever be understood, and it will live as a thorn in my heart eternally." –

⬆️ This is a hard truth that helps with releasing judgment😮‍💨

Notice the type of judgements you make on others, and reflect on how that shows up in the critiques you have for yourself📝

You are not the first, last, or only trauma survivor to go from "functional" to "complete f*ckin mess" suddenly or seemingly without rhyme or reason.

Easy. Triggers hit hard, & they're very often neither obvious nor predictable. Just do the next right thng.

Grace over guilt.

Life was never meant to be one long race toward the next achievement. It was meant to be lived in the gentler moments we barely talk about but would miss the most if they disappeared.

Fall in love with good days.

* Attachment theory is important. I'm saying that if someone is over focused on it, they're ignoring abandonment.
