Make peace with your past.
Trauma comes in all forms, from large, significant events to smaller, ongoing experiences that impact us negatively over time. Regardless of the form trauma takes, when it is unresolved, the past unfortunately doesn’t stay there — it begins to show up in our day-to-day lives. The link between trauma and addiction is clearer now more than ever before. Addiction originates in early childhood experience where we often find unresolved trauma, pain, and abuse at the heart of addictive behaviors including drugs, alcohol, sex, codependency, technology, eating disorders, and self harm. Trauma can leave fear, shame, and hopelessness lingering for years and leave us feeling stuck in negative beliefs. Addictive behavior is an adaptive means to self-soothe these ongoing stressors.
You will no longer be struggling alone as we work together at a safe pace to address deep rooted pain. We will walk the path of healing together by addressing not only your symptoms or behaviors, but by learning evidence based tools to get to the root cause of the disorder and live a life in long term recovery.
