Trauma: You're Not Overreacting. It Was That Bad.
Trauma isn't just about dramatic events. It's about experiences that overwhelmed your ability to cope — including growing up in environments that weren't safe, predictable, or emotionally attuned. If you've spent your life feeling like something is wrong with you, it might be time to look at what happened to you.
Hypervigilance
Always scanning for danger, even when you're safe
Emotional triggers
Strong reactions that seem 'out of proportion'
Relationship patterns
Repeating dynamics from childhood in adult relationships
Identity confusion
Not knowing who you are outside of what others needed you to be
