As we go through traumatic experiences, our brain stores them in pieces in order to keep us safe and we can develop behaviors that are attempts to better understand and make sense of what has happened to us and how to prevent it from happening again. Sometimes we create the circumstances again and again in order to feel a sense of control over them. These resulting habits and behaviors can lead to additional pain and chaos.
My focus is to assist individuals with identifying behavioral patterns that result from traumatic experience and find ways to transform these patterns from harmful to beneficial or even fulfilling experiences. It can be difficult to understand what we are doing when we are inside of these paradigms and how we are contributing to their occurance. We might feel like victims to circumstance. It can therefore be difficult to shift these sneaky habits without an outside perspective to shed light on the nuances of how they play out.
