Childhood Trauma Therapy for: Highly Attuned Thinkers
Parents, Professionals & The Ones Who Always Give a Little Extra- Shouldering the Load for Years
You’ve built a life you’re proud of. A career. A family. A world that looks -on the outside- like you’ve got it together. But inside? It’s a different story.
The Invisible Weight of Childhood Trauma
Maybe you didn’t realize how much childhood trauma still shapes you. How could you? You survived. You adapted.
You became the fixer, the peacekeeper, the rule follower with a rebellious edge inside. The funny one who kept the mood light so things wouldn’t fall apart.
You made it okay for everyone else…at the cost of your own peace and clarity.
But that constant effort to hold it all together? It always comes at a cost.
The Price of Survival: Where You’re Feeling It
The constant balancing act. The endless to-do lists. The people pleasing and over-functioning. It’s been your way of coping.
You’re starting to feel it:
In Relationships.
At Work.
In Parenting.
And In the Quiet Moments Alone.
All the roles you’ve had to play, the expectations you’ve met, the love you’ve given-it’s been draining. You’ve been giving and giving, but now there’s nothing left to give yourself.
You wonder if anyone is going to step in and ask: How are you really doing?
The Ghosts of Childhood Trauma
It looks like:
✥ Overthinking every conversation, replaying it in your head like an old tape on loop.
✥ People pleasing, perfecting, and performing, exhausted but still pushing because you don’t know how not to.
✥ Staying busy, always doing. Because slowing down? Sitting still? That’s when the feelings and thoughts sneak in, and it’s…a lot.
✥ And underneath it all, the question: Who am I, if I’m not taking care of everyone else?
It’s a cycle that doesn’t seem to stop, even when you want it to.
You Were Just a Child. It Wasn’t Your Fault. But Healing…Is Your Right.
You tell yourself:
✤ It wasn’t that bad.
✤ Other people had it worse.
✤ I should be over this by now.
✤ I turned out fine. Look at what I’ve accomplished.
The truth is:
✥ You weren’t meant to carry the emotional weight of your family, yet you did.
✥ You weren’t meant to feel invisible, unsafe, or unloved, and you can reclaim the warmth and connection you’ve always craved.
“If it’s out of your hands, it deserves freedom from your mind, too.” Ivan Nuru
You Made Sense - Your Environment Didn’t
You had a tender heart.
You still do.
But growing up in an environment that didn’t nurture you meant you learned to to read the room before you read yourself.
Childhood trauma doesn’t stay “back then.” It lingers. It shapes the way you move through the world-how you show up, how you cope, how you protect yourself.
The survival strategies that once kept you safe, people pleasing, perfectionism, always anticipating what others need-worked once but now they’re working overtime and it’s exhausting.
Even when you try to push it all down, it bubbles up.
✥ In the exhaustion that never quite lifts.
✥ In the constant self-questioning that chips away at your confidence.
✥ In the fear that everything you’ve worked so hard for could come crashing down.
But here’s the truth: You were never too much. You were just in a world that didn’t know how to care for you.
Breaking the Cycle as a Parent
You promised yourself you would never allow your children to feel what you felt - unseen, unheard, unsafe.
But that promise weighs on you.
✽ You overanalyze everything. Am I getting it right? Are they okay? Am I giving them enough love? Too much?
✽ You feel that pressure to be perfect - because you know what not to do… but figuring out what to do. That’s harder.
✽ You’re drained from pouring everything you have into them, yet the thought of taking time for yourself? Guilt city.
✽ You’re hyper-aware of their emotions - every sigh, every frown, every silence. You’re doing everything you can to protect them…but when you're the protector of everyone else…who shows up for you?
What if breaking the cycle isn’t about being perfect?
What if it’s about healing yourself so you can show up with presence, not pressure?
And at Work? You’re Killing It…But It’s Killing You
You’ve built the career. Earned the title. On paper you’re thriving.
But behind the scenes? It’s another story.
✽ You’re stuck in perfectionistic mode-pushing hard because failure still feels like danger.
✽ You say yes far too often, taking on more than your share-because disappointing people feels like a risk you can’t afford.
✽ You feel like an imposter. That little voice whispering: What if they figure out I’m not really that good?
✽ You leave work completely drained-because you’re not just working, you’re feeling it all, too.
But here’s the truth: You don’t have to sacrifice your well-being for success.
You’re allowed to be both accomplished and at peace.
Attachment Trauma and Relationships: You Want Love, But It Feels…Complicated
You long for connection. For closeness. For love that feels safe.
But instead, love feels like a risk - one that keeps your nervous system on high alert.
✥ Trust feels too fragile-even in the good relationships. Waiting for the other shoe to drop is practically a reflex.
✥ You people please to keep the peace-swallowing your needs to make yourself easier to love.
✥ Some days, you cling - needing constant reassurance.
✥ Or your pattern is to pull back - afraid of getting hurt or getting too close.
✥ Worry follows you everywhere- about your kids, your relationships, your work…whether you take up too much space - or not enough.
✥ Deep down, you wonder: Would they still love me if I stopped trying so hard?
You deserve a bond where you’re safe to show up fully, without shrinking, proving, or pretending.
