Complex trauma is the repeated effect of not feeling safe, seen, or understood.

You can traumatize a person not only by physically harming them, but also by not meeting their emotional needs.

Symptoms like brain fog, social anxiety, insomnia, perfectionism, and body shame are often signs of deeper pain that needs a safe space to unburdened.

You don’t have freedom when you have trauma in your body:

• You’re anxious, overwhelmed, and always on edge.

• You can’t trust the people you love the most.

• You don’t recognize the person you become when you are triggered.

• You don’t have control of your body.

• You are easily hijacked by fear of loss or abandonment.

• You don’t have many memories from your childhood.

• Life feels like it’s too much and you’re often tired and depleted.

• You desperately want close relationships, but always feel disappointed or betrayed by people you love.

• You feel like no one understands you.

• You feel your worth is defined by your achievements and how hard you work.
