You've talked about your trauma before but still feel it in your body.
You're successful or high-functioning on the outside, but rarely feel like you're doing enough.
Your past keeps showing up in your relationships.
You struggle with trust, vulnerability, intimacy, or feeling safe with other people.
You're tired of overthinking, avoiding, people-pleasing, shutting down, or always being prepared for something to go wrong.
You don't necessarily feel "broken." You just know you don't want to keep living this way.
You replay mistakes and conversations long after everyone else has moved on.
You're much better at offering compassion to other people than receiving it yourself.
You're tired of using criticism, pressure, or shame as your primary motivation for change.
