🌫️PTSD, C-PTSD & Trauma don’t always look the same, but they often feel overwhelming.

💔 From intrusive thoughts to emotional outbursts, these experiences are real, valid, and deeply human.

If you see yourself in any of these signs, know that you’re not broken, you’re surviving, and you’re not alone. Healing takes time, and you don’t have to do it alone. 💛

We are here to help ❣️

My DMs are open, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Be well,
Patricia 🤍

✨ Therapist Says with Nayeli Gonzalez, ACSW✨

Sometimes, holding on feels safer than letting go. But what if the very things we cling to are what keep us stuck?

Nayeli Gonzalez, ACSW, reminds us that letting go isn’t a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of clarity. It’s the first step toward becoming the version of ourselves we’ve been quietly craving.

✨ Healing begins when we stop carrying what was never meant to be ours forever.

Interested in EMDR therapy but don’t know how it works?

EMDR therapy is a proven, effective approach that helps your brain process painful
experiences, so they no longer control you. 🧠✨

Through 8 structured phases, EMDR guides you from identifying what’s holding you back to fully releasing it, replacing distress with clarity, strength, and confidence.
Thousands have found relief through EMDR. You can too.

🌿 Ready to start your healing journey?

🧠 Myth vs. Reality 🧠

Myth: If I’m strong, I shouldn’t need therapy.
Reality: It takes strength to recognize when we need help and reach out for it.
Therapy is not a sign of weakness, but a powerful step toward healing. Let’s rewrite what strength truly means.🌱

"Strength isn’t about carrying everything on your own. Seeking help is courageous, empowering, and shows your commitment to honoring your worth and nurturing your growth." — Nayeli Gonzalez, ACSW
