Trauma-related guilt comes from feeling or thinking that you could have or should have done something different to stop or stop the traumatic event from happening. Typically, these feelings of self-blame are not based on a realistic assessment of the circumstances, but rather on the cruel things survivors tell themselves after being victimized. In therapy, we will work toward a better understanding and healthier processing of the events that may have led to the difficulties you are experiencing today.

People who have endured neglect, abuse, assault, or other types of trauma may have anxiety for years after the event, regardless of whether they were physically injured. Re-experiencing the traumatic incident (or events) in dreams or flashbacks, avoidance (making an attempt to avoid people, things, or places linked with the trauma), panic attacks, sleep disruption, and difficulties concentrating or poor concentration are all common symptoms of trauma that are related to anxiety.
In therapy, we will work towards a better understanding and healthier processing of the events that may have led to the challenges that you experience today. Give me a call now to get started.

Trauma often incorporates a variety of factors, including but not limited to a feeling of imminent danger, betrayal of trust, boundary violation, loss of control, entrapment, helplessness, disorientation, pain, dissociation, and loss. When abuse or neglect is committed by a parent or other family member, or an adult that you would have expected to protect you, your feelings of betrayal are heightened.
The good new is therapy can help.
For more information I invite you to give me a call or fill out the contact form on my website.

Frequently, the aftereffects of traumatic experiences manifest themselves years or even decades later as:

Having difficulty difficulty communicating successfully at work
Senses of shame and remorse (survivors often experience feelings of shame and guilt even though they did nothing wrong)
Feeling trapped or unable to progress in your life.
Excessive alcohol or drug usage.
Feelings of rage, hostility, impatience, or frustration (and then feeling ashamed for feeling this way or the way you behaved in these moments).

You are not alone.

A significant number of people who have been through traumatic experiences put the blame for their experiences squarely on their own shoulders, even when there was nothing they could have done differently to prevent the traumatic event. Shame can cause damage to your self-image as well as your feelings of self-worth, leaving you with the impression that you are deeply flawed. Even people with very strong feelings of anxiety, guilt, and shame can find relief help in therapy.

Parenting teenagers is difficult. When a parent calls me, it is typically because their kid is feeling lonely, is having difficulty navigating life, is being bullied, has experienced trauma, or is constantly testing the limits established by their parents. It's possible that the way your adolescent is behaving is a sign of some underlying emotional anguish.
If you are worried that your child is struggling, please contact me so that we may consider how therapy may be able to help.

Being a teen can be challenging. Parenting teens isn't easy. When your adolescent is going through a particularly challenging time, counselling may give much-needed stability. When a parent contacts me, it's usually because their child is feeling alone, is having trouble navigating their sexuality, is being bullied, has suffered sexual abuse or trauma, is continuously pushing the boundaries set by their parents, or is engaging in dangerous activity. Your teen's risk-taking behavior, such as drinking or drug abuse, may be an indication of underlying emotional distress.

If you are concerned that your kid is having a hard time, please get in touch with me so that we can discuss how therapy might assist.
