ReStory Counseling

Getting dysregulated doesn’t mean you’re a bad therapist.

It may be information.

In this conversation, Adam Young, LCSW | Trauma Therapist talks about what can happen when a therapist or helper notices their own body moving into hyper or hypo arousal while sitting with someone.

The goal isn’t to never be affected. It’s to notice what’s happening, take responsibility for your own story, and get the support you need so you can return to the person in front of you with greater presence.

A good marriage still needs room to breathe.

Good Storywork Coaching includes both presence and discernment.

What happened matters.

So does the story you began telling yourself afterward.

“I’m too much.”
“I have to handle this alone.”
“People always leave.”
“It’s safer not to need anyone.”

Storywork enters the meaning we made beyond the experience we had.

What happened in us is just powerful as what happened to us.
