Hey Survivor, looking for a space where you can finally be vulnerable and imperfect enough to heal yourself and/or your relationship? You (likely) identify as a woman. You grew up in a chaotic and traumatic household, and statically you experienced sexual violence before the age of 18. From a young age you started picking up slack, taking care of others, becoming your own parent. You learned to keep yourself safe by being what other people need, smoothing things over, ignoring your intuition. Likely you left home early, which left you vulnerable to your first serious relationship with someone much older and unsafe/unhealthy.
You likely became a young parent. To keep you (and perhaps your little one) safe you leveled up your people-pleasing-taking-care-of-others-putting-my needs-last skills. Despite all of this, or perhaps because of it, you’ve managed to become “stable” and “successful” in life. And now, those skills that kept you alive are keeping you from living.
Sound eerily like yourself or your partner? I’ve been working with individuals and couples with similar stories since 2014. I’m Rebecca and I help badass high-functioning women with complex trauma backgrounds to heal their trauma and engage more presently and authentically in their relationships. If you’re ready to start on that journey, call/text/email me.
