Mental Health Counseling in Richmond CA

 


“This is just how I’ve always been.”
Maybe you’ve said it without thinking.
About being the calm one, or the capable one, or even the one who never needs much.

But what if it’s not your personality?
What if it’s actually a form of self-protection?

So many trauma responses get mistaken for traits like:
😶 Emotional numbness ➡️ “easygoing”
💡 Hypervigilance ➡️ “detail-oriented”
🧍‍♀️ Freeze ➡️ “quiet”
🙋‍♀️ Fawning ➡️ “selfless”

You didn’t choose these patterns. Your body adapted to keep you safe.
And it makes sense if they’ve become familiar, so familiar, they feel like you.

A HOPEFUL FUTURE FOR OUR TEENS WITH TEEN THERAPY Among the many changes that frequently occur during the teenage years, kids start to move away from their parents and gravitate far more to their peers for guidance. They desperately want to feel accepted and appreciated, and sometimes this leads to risky behavior like experimenting with drugs and alcohol, having unsafe sex, or getting into trouble with the law.
