Have you ever felt really tired and stuck after something bad happened that you don’t know how to move on or if you can even go on?
Every day, you feel like you need to be on guard, always watching out for bad things to happen. Sometimes you feel really angry, sad, or irritable. You stay away from places that remind you of bad things, which can make it hard to be with friends and family. This can make you feel lonely.
You feel confused and hurt about what happened to you. Talking about it can be hard because you feel shame and guilt, ‘Is it my fault? Did I cause this?’ Or you worry people will judge you. You feel overwhelmed by daily tasks, struggle to keep up, find it hard to relax or sleep and often forget to eat. As you try to feel better, you just want to feel safe and understood. Healing can be tough, but you deserve kindness and support as you take small steps forward.
Trauma therapy for women can help you learn to manage emotions and triggers. Spanish speaking therapist available.
