Developmental trauma refers to the emotional and psychological wounds that occur during critical stages of a person's development, typically in childhood and adolescence. These wounds can result from various adverse experiences, such as neglect, abuse, parental substance abuse, narcissistic or personality disordered caregivers, or chronic instability within the family environment. Developmental trauma can disrupt healthy emotional and cognitive growth, leaving individuals with lasting scars that impact their relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being.

Common symptoms of Developmental Trauma include::

  • chronic anxiety

  • depression

  • difficulty forming and maintaining healthy relationships

  • low self-esteem

  • a pervasive sense of emptiness or disconnection.

  • difficulty regulating emotions and responding to stressors

If you’re willing to tell the truth and face your deepest fears, YOU WILL HEAL.

Recovery from Developmental Trauma can seem daunting. Many of us believe that our complex trauma symptoms are “just who are”. But this is a lie. We are so much more than what we had to do to survive. We are so much more than our pain and our fears. I’d love to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
