Therapy and counselling for trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma, from a post-traumatic growth perspective, Melbourne and online world wide.
Everyone experiences trauma of one kind or another in life, although we rarely call it trauma.
In fact, people often don’t realise that many of the issues and symptoms they struggle with are the result of traumatic experiences, remembered or not.
Trauma impacts on our lives in many different ways but you have a choice; it can either restrict you, or you can use it to grow and make you more than before.
People often hope to bounce back to normal afterwards.
But what if you could do better than just bouncing back?
What if tough times and traumatic experiences could teach you new skills and strengths, give you new insights and self-awareness?
That’s what trauma therapy at Cultivating Confidence is all about:
Healing and growing from trauma and adversity to become more than before.
Some of the challenges trauma can leave us with include:
Troubling moods
Low self-worth
Difficulty connecting with others
Substance misuse
Over or under eating and/or exercising
Trouble sleeping
Loss of sense of identity
No direction in life
Life doesn’t make sense anymore
Hearing voices or seeing things others don’t
Feelings of fear, anxiety or hypervigilance
Difficulty setting boundaries
Not enough self-care or rest time
Sacrificing your own needs to keep the peace
Difficulty managing emotions
Loss of spiritual connection
Angry or tearful outbursts in response to small issues
Avoiding emotions like anger, disappointment, sadness
But they don’t have to be a life sentence, in fact, they can be a doorway to a more whole, more connected, and more confident you.
