Healing is Not Linear. We repeat what we do not heal.
Much of what holds us back is our own coping mechanisms to unresolved pain. We will work together to process your feelings to heal from trauma.Jenn Pinkerton
With unresolved trauma, we remain in survival mode. It causes us to live our pain again in our relationships. Attachment / inner child work can heal this trauma.Jenn Pinkerton
"Most people suffer from some form of emotional trauma. Emotional trauma is a rewiring of the brain, in which many of us can carry into our adult lives."
Do you have feelings of anxiety, low self-worth, stress, depression, or being stuck? Are you angry, irritable, and lash out? Are you hindered emotionally, relationally (couples, parenting, family), sexually, professionally?
Our early attachment experiences and love lessons, or lack thereof, model how we view ourselves as adults. It sets the tone for our ability to be vulnerable and authentic, which can manifest in high reactivity, limitations, and even disorders. If we were taught love under difficult circumstances that dealt with betrayal, inconsistency, intrusiveness, unmet needs, lack of attunement, mental illness, abandonment, abuse or addiction, this shapes our emotional balance and we seek to repeat the cycle.
At Pinkerton Psychotherapy, that inheritance doesn’t have to be accepted and the cycle can be broken. We collaboratively empower you to create a new narrative of self-actualization and awareness, basically a new story in your head that doesn’t encompass trauma.
Everyone is “enough”, yet few realize that. In fact, YOU are amazing and we are here to help you heal so you believe it.
