You feel fragmented.
You're functioning on the outside but totally disconnected, scattered, and fragmented on the inside. Yesterday you were in such a fog, you shut down, overthinking and feeling so far away from everything was a huge part of your day. The trauma impacted how you showed up in staff meeting yesterday, you got triggered by something your partner said and it ended up in a blow up. You feel disconnected and you don't play with your kids. You're trying to scroll on your phone. You take on too much at work, you take on too much outside of work just to numb yourself. You're trying to make sense of the past experiences that you have that show up in your present life. You're completely ovewhelmed by emotions one moment and then numb the next. You're sick of feeling this way, it doesn't feel like you're a whole person and you just want to feel better.
Imagine feeling grounded.
You're finally feeling grounded. Yesterday you said "no" to too many things on your plate at work and you didn't feel complete guilt or like you were going to be rejected. You finally stood up to your parents and expressed how childhood has impacted you in some of their decisions. It was terrifying but you did it and it felt like a sense of relief. You finally have tools to navigate dissociation, overwhelm, shutting down, you're making choices from clarity rather than fear and survival mode. You actually played Monopoly with your kids and enjoyed it last night, went on a date night, did some yoga, spent some time with your dog this weekend and you weren't in this constant state of fight or flight or feeling completely numb. You're actually feeling life and there's a sense of peace and joy to it.

Finally break from the past and get to the root of feeling better.
EMDR
Heal trauma through EMDR so it's not showing up in nightmares and causing triggers on the day-to-day.
Depth-oriented therapy
For adults with complicated histories and questions about their identities
Hi, I’m Michelle.
So glad you landed here. Apart from drinking coffee to go sleep at night, having a secret desire to live on a small farm completely off-grid, and really hating board games, I am that therapist that's going to go deep with you. Nothing is too much, everything can be on the table. I have a knack for helping humans feel better after living through a complex history growing up and being completely impacted by trauma and dissociation. This is where I'm supposed to say more about myself, but instead, if you want to learn more, head over to my About page.
