Distressing thoughts and memories can keep us feeling like we are stranded in the past. Every time we have tried to dig ourselves out, shame, guilt, and overwhelming thoughts keep us feeling stuck. These feelings and thoughts can feel so isolating and exhausting. Traumatic experiences can have a detrimental impact on how individuals cope with stress and regulate emotions. I understand that at various times in our lives we endure situations that can cause distress, leading to unhealthy behaviors and patterns. We can feel completely lost in figuring out how to proceed and it can be daunting to reach out for support.
