Therapy for CPTSD after Emotional, Physical, or Spiritual Abuse
Living with the pain of abuse feels like trying to outrun a storm you can’t escape. And you often wonder if you could even call it abuse. Maybe you’ve done some research and think you need therapy for CPTSD or complex trauma.
Some days, you’re holding your breath, hoping to make it through without falling apart. Other days, even the smallest thing—a glance, a phrase, or a random sound—can hit like a gut punch, pulling you right back into the memories you wish would just disappear.
You’re exhausted from walking that fine line between keeping it together and completely losing it. One minute, you’re okay-ish. The next? You’re spiraling, snapping at people you care about, and feeling guilty before the words are even out of your mouth.
It’s like carrying invisible weight everywhere you go. You try to forget, to numb it—scrolling, binge-watching, or pouring another drink—but the relief never lasts. The triggers keep sneaking in, pulling you under when you least expect it.
Boundaries? What are boundaries? Sometimes you let people walk all over you because it feels easier than saying no. Other times, you slam the door shut, locking everyone out—including the ones who want to help.
And the fact is, you don’t even feel like you know who you are anymore. What do you like, what don’t you like? It was lost in the attempts to please and keep the peace.
And honestly? You’re just tired. Tired of the emotional whiplash, the constant fight-or-flight, and feeling like no matter what you do, it’s never quite enough.

Think of therapy like a road trip—you’re driving, and I’m just your co-pilot with the map. If you want to take a different route, just say the word.
And hey, what’s a good adventure without some laughter to lighten the ride?
We might use EMDR to help take the weight off those past memories. The best part? You don’t have to tell me every detail for it to work. You get all the healing without having to relive the whole story out loud.
