I probably don’t need to tell you we’re living in a racist, sexist, heteronormative, capitalist dystopian nightmare in a slow and painful collapse. It’s hard to cope with that knowledge while dealing with day-to-day nonsense, on top of reliving past trauma on a regular basis. It’s a lot and it’s heavy and it sucks. Some people turn to substances and other vices to cope.
Mindfulness techniques can help to stay in the present and stay grounded and not feel so anxious about what the future holds. EMDR can help to address past trauma, and to stop living in toxic cycles. There are many paths to recovery and harm reduction is absolutely valid. I'm trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques for an individualized approach.
When you’re not reliving past trauma, and you’re not constantly anxious about the future, and you’ve let go of toxic coping strategies, then dealing with all of the day-to-day nonsense starts to feel a bit less overwhelming. Let’s get you there.
