You’re not good enough.
You’ve believed your whole life that no matter what you do or how much you achieve, it’ll never be enough. You try so hard, but somehow the punchline is always: you lose.
Or at least, that’s what your mother used to tell you.
All those people being nice to you?“It’s because you’re young, and your friends only tolerate you because they have to.”
No matter how much evidence builds up on the positive side, you can’t shake her voice, explaining it away.
Maybe you’re making it up.
All your friends think she’s a sweetheart. She saves the abuse for when you’re alone, so when you mention it to people, they don’t believe you.
You’ve tried to leave, but every time people use her title, mother, as an excuse, and shame you into going back.
You’ve been spinning your wheels trying to explain the unexplainable: how does your mother not love you?
I understand, and I believe you.
Unfortunately, this type of abuse is all too common. Not only do I see it a lot, but I’ve also lived it, and I can tell you, you’re not crazy.
We will begin our work by excising the trauma from your body using various methods like talk therapy or EMDR. Whatever we decide works best for you will have the same effect: you’re going to get to pull the pain out by its roots, in the presence of someone safe.
We won’t stop with helping your adult-self recover, we’ll also check in with your inner child and make sure she knows that the abuse she endured is over.
And we’ll finish by working on your identity; something that you weren’t allowed to do as a child because it was inconvenient for your abuser.
This is the final hurdle.
I know you’re tired.
You’ve spent your life being abused and trying to explain it and get people to see it, and that’s left you exhausted.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Imagine a life centered around you and your needs.
What would it be like to feel worthy of love, to feel cherished, to realize that you are, and have always been, enough?
