Faye Packer Childhood Trauma Therapy

Faye Packer Childhood Trauma Therapy Hi! 👋 I'm Faye and I'm a Psychodynamic Therapist based in West Oxfordshire and online. Please come say hello!

I believe that we all have the potential within to explore all aspects of our inner psyches and to discover who we really are in this peculiar place we call life. As a therapist, I mainly use the psychodynamic approach to help clients explore their behaviours and to really discover where painful or difficult emotions may have started. If you have experienced a dysfunctional, narcissistic or unusua

l childhood, we may work particularly well together. I have additional training in working with child s*x abuse and trauma survivors. My consultation room for face to face work is finally open in the beautiful town of Burford so get in touch if you live nearby and would like to work with me in person. If you are interested in working with me, please get in touch at [email protected] and I will get in touch at my earliest opportunity. Alternatively, you can follow and contact me on Instagram at faye.therapy where I share mental health tips, techniques and theories.

Good morning on this rainy day!

What is my purpose? Why am I here? Who am I?

Finding purpose and identity is a big part of trauma recovery work.

Trauma disrupts development. We become fixated on the bad stuff that happened and unconsciously discount all our positive traits.

Finding out what makes you happy and what you're good at helps increase confidence, resilience and identity.

It can be hard to know who you are after trauma - especially in this busy modern world with the influence of social media (side note - please don't compare yourself to what you see on FB or IG!)

I love this little image that breaks down purpose and the different branches of it. I believe it's used in professional coaching but wanted to share it here too.

You don't necessarily have one purpose. In fact, your purpose can even change depending on what stage of life you're in.

Have a think about what makes you happy? How can you add more happiness to your life? 💜

Trauma responses aren't always obvious.

We often think about traumatised people as being:

😰 Difficult
😰 Angry
😰 Socially isolated
😰 In clear distress

But for lots of people, trauma simply doesn't work like that.

If you grew up afraid of someone in your household, you may struggle with excessive people-pleasing or fawning as an adult.

🤔 WHY? Because being liked by others makes you feel safe. People-pleasing makes it far less likely for other people to get angry or scary with you.

Be patient with yourself and practice setting your boundaries 💜

**P.S My therapy practice is full right now so I'm not taking on any new clients. You can still get in touch with me at www.fayepackertherapy.com where I write about all things trauma related, and follow me on social media! **
