Trauma Therapy in Berkeley

 

Many of the behaviors trauma survivors struggle with originated as survival strategies to help them get through the traumatic environment.

If you find yourself over-reacting to small things (hypervigilance) or becoming emotionally distant to protect yourself, you probably started doing this as a way to survive the trauma. After the trauma is over, we often continue using these behaviors out of habit even though they no longer serve us.

Forgiving yourself for the survival strategies you learned while living through trauma is the first and most important step toward changing these behaviors. Reach out to Life by Design Therapy to begin showing yourself compassion and addressing these adaptive behaviors.
