Did you grow up with caregivers who were dismissive, self-absorbed, or emotionally unavailable?

Have you experienced similar dynamics in adult relationships, where you’ve felt unheard and unseen like your needs don’t matter?

These painful experiences—whether in childhood or adulthood—can shape how you see yourself and connect with others. Over time, they may leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected.

You're not alone

Relational trauma happens within the context of relationships, often through repeated emotional wounds—being dismissed, rejected, or feeling unsafe with those who were meant to support you. This hurtful experiences can lead to deep self-doubt, emotional ups and downs, or difficulty trusting others. But these patterns don’t have to define you. Therapy can offer a safe, supportive space to explore your experiences, build emotional resilience, and come home to yourself.

You don’t have to navigate this on your own.

• Emotional overwhelm or feeling shut down

• A deep sense of disconnection — from yourself or others

• Difficulty trusting yourself or others, setting boundaries, or asking for what you need

• Physical symptoms with no obvious cause
