Childhood Trauma Therapy for Adults
The Adults Weren’t Safe
Your parents were supposed to protect, nurture, and care for you. But they didn’t. Maybe they hurt you, neglected you, or simply failed to shield you from the people who caused harm.
As a child, you did the best you could to make sense of it. You developed ways to survive, ways to cope—but those coping mechanisms haven’t faded with time. They’re still lingering, and now they’re showing up in your adult life, affecting your relationships, your confidence, and the way you see the world.
Kids believe in fairy tales and magic, but your childhood was full of “bad guys.” Now, the idea of feeling safe or happy feels impossible—like a fairy tale that’s out of reach.
But You're the Adult Now
Yet, despite being an adult, you still don’t feel safe. The world feels just as scary, and trusting people seems impossible. Those feelings of fear and uncertainty—they’re what we call “ghosts from the nursery.” They stick with you, haunting your adult life and shaping the way you move through the world.
You find yourself wondering, Are they mad at me? Do they like me? Am I good enough? Beneath those constant worries is a childhood marked by fear and chaos. No wonder you live in a constant state of worry and self-doubt today.
Always on Guard
The way you live now? It’s exhausting. Constantly being on guard, never trusting others fully—it takes its toll. You’ve tried to push through, staying busy, overachieving, anything to avoid the fear and worry that always seems to creep back in.
But it’s there. That nagging feeling of dread—that people will hurt you, abandon you, or judge you—doesn’t just disappear.
People-Pleasing as a Lifestyle
You’ve made keeping everyone else happy your safety net. If you can just be perfect, if you never say “no,” maybe people won’t hurt you. But that comes at the cost of your own needs, leaving you feeling used and undervalued.
It gives you some temporary relief, but you’re left drained, and resentment builds up. Still, you feel like you don’t have a choice—it’s the only way you know how to protect yourself.
The Cycle of Childhood Trauma Stops Now
You’re determined not to repeat the same mistakes as the adults who raised you. And you’re determined that your kids won’t have to go through what you went through. You know something has to change—people overcome trauma every day, so why not you?
But Change Feels Like a Fantasy
It’s hard to imagine a different way of living, especially when you’ve never had adults show you what healthy boundaries or relationships look like. You hear people talk about staying calm in difficult situations and wonder, How do they do that? Vulnerability feels foreign, maybe even dangerous.
But Starting Fresh Is Possible
You don’t have to do this alone. Therapy can help you heal from your childhood trauma, rewrite the story you’ve been living with, and teach you how to set boundaries that actually work for you—without the guilt.
