About

In my time working with trauma, I have found it is common for people to question if they are "crazy" or if something is "wrong" with them. More often than not, the answer is "no." No, you are not crazy. No, something is not wrong with you. Rather, your body has adapted to traumas and perceived threats in ways that have helped you survive over time. To quote Mary Harvey, “trauma survivors have symptoms instead of memories.” When we feel tense or angry and on edge with symptoms like panic, dizziness, or shutting down, that is trauma in the driver’s seat. When trauma is front and center, we don’t feel in control.
