Couples caught in marital gridlock experience either emotional bickering and blaming or withdrawal and isolation. Marital gridlock can be caused by a betrayal, control issues, a lack of intimacy or important personality differences. This will leave us with a married life of emotional isolation and confusion.

Where did the best of us go and our ability to respond effectively to difficult situations?

You're a high achieving woman with anxiety and trauma. You've been told that you're "Too sensitive." Everyone comes to you for help, but your needs aren't even on the radar. Even in your marriage. You've pushed the trauma so deep down that you're in survival mode. On the outside things seem great, but you don't know how to stop people pleasing, perfectionism or how to speak your mind to your loved ones. You've prayed and read books, but you're drowning on the inside. You need long-lasting change NOW so you can continue to move to the next level and thrive. That's where brainspotting trauma therapy comes in.

My clients come from many situations. Mostly they come to me with brokenness, some are addicted to drugs, alcohol and/or sex. Some struggle inside their marriages. Others arrive with deep longings to be of value or feel worthy. I see a large number of men with sexual addiction. I see wives that feel traumatized and betrayed. Often people arrive in my office in a crisis. Most couples I see are in some form of a conflict cycle; they each have hurt feelings and cannot seem to get unstuck from the cycle. As I also conduct psychological assessments, some clients come to me to to be tested for various reasons, such as legal issues
