Trauma has a profound impact on how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. In its aftermath, we may feel vulnerable, struggle to trust, or perceive our surroundings as unsafe. It can also keep the body stuck in a heightened state of alertness, contributing to additional mental, emotional, or physical ailments

While some traumatic experiences are obvious, others—like childhood emotional neglect—can be more difficult to identify. When emotional needs are dismissed or overlooked, the effects can be long-lasting. Children who grow up without emotional validation may feel unseen or unsupported, which can later affect their ability to express feelings, seek help, or form deep, meaningful connections. Trauma can also shape our relationships, disrupting attachment patterns and making it harder to trust others, set boundaries, or navigate intimacy in a healthy way.

Healing is possible. Trauma-informed therapy offers a compassionate space to process past experiences and develop tools for rebuilding a sense of safety, trust, and self-connection. Whether you’re working through a specific traumatic event or the lingering impact of emotional neglect, therapy can help you move forward with greater resilience and clarity.
