Healing Emotional Wounds

Whether you saw it coming or didn’t…

… the feeling is the same: You’re devastated.

You gasp at your vulnerability and wonder, “Why did this happen?”

You trusted this person, and they betrayed you. Constantly reminded of the betrayal, how can you move forward with trusting anyone else again.

Growing up, you were told you weren’t good enough. Now you live your life bending over backward to please everyone around you. But it’s taking a toll, and you don’t know how long you can keep it up.

Life dishes up so many hardships…

… heartbreak, illness, injury, death, abandonment.

Though we may share similar experiences, every hurt is personal.

No matter how many times well-meaning people say, “We understand,” they don’t. You may even resent them for trying.

Help on your road to healing…

As a psychotherapist, I’ve sat with many wounded people.

I witness their pain and do my best to make space for it. Even when they cry out, “Why did this happen?” I try not to engage in reactive comforting.

Advice or quick answers always feel false, even insulting, when someone is deeply hurt.

After nearly 10 years practicing psychotherapy, this is what I’ve learned: When you’re viciously knocked down by life, don’t get right back up.

Like tripping and falling, you have the impulse to rise and start moving again. But ignoring a serious injury will make it worse. Pain demands attention; it needs to be acknowledged and embraced before you can move on.

Stop looking and start finding.

I can help. The road to healing doesn’t happen overnight – it’s a journey. But you don’t have to take it alone.

Let me help you break free from the past that’s trying to destroy your future.
