Exposure therapy but it’s me posting on Instagram. 🫠

Me:
“I’m just going to go with the flow.”

My nervous system:
…scans for every possible thing that could go wrong

If you’ve ever felt like you want to relax,
but your body just won’t let you…

There’s nothing wrong with you.

Your nervous system just learned to stay on high alert.

And unlearning that takes more than just telling yourself to “calm down.”

It takes practice, safety, and a lot of patience with yourself.

Unpopular opinion: talking about it isn’t always enough.

Insight is important.

Understanding your patterns, your past, and why you feel the way you do matters.

But healing trauma isn’t just cognitive.

You can know why you’re anxious…

and still feel it in your body.

You can understand your triggers…

and still react the same way.

Because trauma lives in the nervous system, not just in your thoughts.

Real healing often involves:

learning how to regulate your body

feeling safe enough to slow down

and practicing new experiences, not just analyzing old ones

Talking is part of it.

Learning how to feel safe in your body is another.

You don’t have to be falling apart to deserve support.

Many of the people I work with are high functioning.

They show up, get things done, and look completely okay on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected.

Trauma isn’t always one big event.

Sometimes it’s the accumulation of experiences that taught your nervous system to stay on edge, overthink, or shut down.

Healing isn’t about proving how much you’ve been through.

It’s about learning how to feel safer in your own mind and body.

Hey, I’m Christina, and I’m the therapist for you if…

You’ve been through things that felt like too much… or maybe not “big enough” to count, but still somehow shaped how you feel, think, and move through the world.

I work with both the “big T and little T” traumas, because all of it matters.

I’m for you if you’re tired of feeling:
• on edge or overwhelmed
• disconnected or numb
• stuck in patterns you can’t quite explain

And you want support that feels:
• down to earth, not clinical or cold
• non-pathologizing
• collaborative, honest, and human

I believe your responses make sense based on what you’ve been through, and healing doesn’t have to mean reliving everything, but learning how to feel safer in your body and your life.
