Think It Was Just a Rough Childhood or Tough Past? It Might Actually Be Trauma

You might think it was just a tough childhood or some painful moments you’ve pushed through, but what if those lingering feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, or being stuck are actually signs of trauma?

Trauma isn’t just about what happened—it’s how those experiences still impact you today. It’s that feeling in your gut, the racing heart, or the constant tension you can’t shake, no matter how much time has passed.

Whether it was one big event or a series of smaller moments that left you feeling unsafe or powerless, trauma has a way of rewiring us.

But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to control your life. You deserve to heal with online trauma therapy, and I’m here to help you move past what’s been holding you back.

Is This What You’ve Been Dealing With?

Maybe you look like you’ve got it all together, but inside, things feel heavy—like you're carrying something you can’t quite shake.

Do any of these sound familiar?

Flashbacks or memories that pop up out of nowhere

Panic attacks that leave you feeling overwhelmed

Always feeling on edge, like you can’t fully relax

Avoiding certain people, places, or situations that bring up old pain

Struggling to connect with others—even the people closest to you

Constant guilt, shame, or second-guessing yourself

Feeling intense emotions like fear, anger, or guilt, and not knowing why

Thinking about things you wish you could forget

Having restless nights, nightmares, or trouble sleeping

You’re Not Alone—Trauma Is More Common Than You Think

We don’t talk about it enough, but the truth is: most people have experienced some kind of trauma. In fact, around 70% of adults in the U.S.—that’s over 220 million people—have been through something that shook them to their core.

Trauma isn’t always what you expect. It’s anything that suddenly knocks you off balance or leaves you feeling unsafe, stuck, or not like yourself. Maybe it’s something big and obvious. Maybe it’s a series of smaller moments that added up over time.

It can look like:

A painful breakup or betrayal
Emotional or physical abuse
A car accident or scary event
Losing someone suddenly
Witnessing violence
Feeling controlled, dismissed, or unsafe in relationships
And so much more

Whatever it was, it left a mark—but it doesn’t have to define you. You don’t have to carry it forever.
