Complex Trauma — My Style

Trauma-informed therapy for repeating nervous-system patterns (not just one event).

Complex trauma often shows up less as a single memory and more as a repeating pattern in thenervous system: hypervigilance, shutdown, emotional flooding, chronic shame, and relational triggers. People frequently describe feeling like they’re always managing themselves — scanning, bracing, masking, avoiding conflict, or trying to be “easy to deal with.” The result can look like anxiety, depression, obsessive loops, or a constant sense of being a burden.

Common Search Terms People Use

Five Key Traits of My Style

  • We work inside a safe emotional range: enough intensity to matter, not so much that you get

overwhelmed.

  • IFS-informed parts work: we get curious about protective strategies instead of shaming them.
  • Grounding and regulation are built in, not treated as an afterthought.
  • Clear consent and pacing: you remain in control of what we approach and when.
  • Warm, firm boundaries: compassion without colluding with self-harmful patterns.
