One of the most common reasons you might come to see me is complex PTSD. You might not even realize that is why you are looking for therapy. That’s because trauma is sometimes more subtle, leaving you unsure about your experience and its impact on you.
You might have previously received other diagnoses like bipolar or borderline personality disorder. You could have also been diagnosed with ADHD and autism spectrum disorder. You may have done DBT and found that it wasn’t as helpful as you hoped it would be. You might be surprised after a new assessment with me to find a diagnosis that also includes complex PTSD which could be an underlying cause of your previous diagnoses.
In therapy with me, I will teach you how your brain works, what happens when you feel distressing emotions, and how to get your thinking brain, your prefrontal cortex, back online. It’s a way of addressing trauma with compassion and without self-judgment.
