Helping You Through Stress,Trauma, and Painful Experiences
Specializing in Traumatic Memories, Dissociation, and Borderline Traits
Traumatic Memories
Traumatic memories are experiences that were so overwhelming or frightening that the brain couldn't fully process them at the time. Instead of becoming regular memories, they can get "stuck" in the nervous system, feeling just as intense or real as when the event happened. These memories might show up as flashbacks, nightmares, strong emotional reactions, or body sensations that seem to come out of nowhere. Often, they’re triggered by things that remind you of the original event, even if you’re not aware of the connection. This isn’t a sign of weakness—it's your brain trying to protect you. With the right support, these memories can be processed in a way that helps them feel less overwhelming and more like a part of your past, not your present.
Dissociation
Dissociation is a natural way the brain protects us during overwhelming or traumatic experiences. It can feel like being disconnected from your body, emotions, thoughts, or surroundings. Some people describe it as “numbing out,” feeling far away, or like they’re watching life happen from outside themselves. Dissociation can happen during trauma or long after, especially when something triggers a reminder of what happened. While it’s a survival response that once helped you cope, it can become disruptive in daily life.
Borderline Traits
Borderline traits often develop as a response to early or ongoing emotional pain, trauma, or unmet needs. People with these traits may feel emotions very deeply and find it hard to manage intense feelings like anger, sadness, or fear. Relationships can feel confusing or overwhelming—there may be a strong fear of being abandoned, or a deep need for closeness that shifts suddenly. You might also struggle with a shaky sense of identity, feeling unsure of who you are or what you need. These patterns aren’t character flaws—they’re survival strategies shaped by a nervous system that had to adapt to emotional pain. With the right kind of support, healing is possible, and it’s absolutely okay to take that process one step at a time.
