People are always saying that you seem to be doing ok but they have no idea how much you struggle! Ever since the terrible thing happened you have been distracted, irritable, having nightmares, and you cry at pretty much anything. You are the friend who will always be there for others, but often feel like you are losing yourself in the process. You just want to laugh more, have good relationships, get your grades up or get better at your job. You have hope that you can feel better, but right now you feel stuck because you really don’t know how.
Now imagine a world where you are thriving in school or work, doing things that you actually WANT to do, and have relationships that fuel you instead of make you feel exhausted. Imagine a world where you can be you again. (Even if you aren’t sure who that is just yet).
When helping young women and teen girls recover from trauma, I have experience using art as a means to help them access what words cannot. Art combined with trauma treatment is a powerful way to express yourself and heal. I am available via telehealth only and I have an easy online platform for our sessions.
