Developmental Trauma comes from trauma experienced repeatedly and over a long period of time during childhood and early life.
I can help you understand and overcome the symptoms of developmental trauma and lessen their impact on your daily life.
These are some of the issues that you may be experiencing:
– Deep-seated beliefs such as: I am unlovable; people are not to be trusted; I don’t matter; the world is dangerous
– Chronic hypervigilance, stress and anxiety
– Anger, avoidance, resignation, self-blame, shame
– People pleasing, inability to set boundaries
– Identity crisis, feeling like you don’t know yourself, low self esteem
– Addictions, self-harm
– Relationship difficulties, family problems, attachment problems
– Complex grief
Causes of developmental trauma can include childhood physical or emotional neglect, abuse, abandonment, living with alcoholic or substance- addicted caregivers, living in a high conflict, unpredictable and unsafe environment, narcissistic abuse, domestic violence in the home.
Developmental trauma can form deep-seated beliefs and responses that continue to be triggered in your present life. Such responses, often sub-conscious, can influence your life in a negative way deep into adulthood.
I hold a Complex Trauma Certification Training Level 1 & 2 (CCTP/CCTP-II) with Janina Fisher as well as a Trauma Research Foundation (TRF) Certification in Traumatic Stress.
