The first time, I was 10.
The second time, it happened repeatedly in my teens with an abusive ex.
The third time, I was in my 20s.
I don’t do this work because it’s an “area of interest.”
I do this work because I was fucked up by other people – and I know what it takes to come back from that.
I lived with PTSD for almost 20 years.
I wasn’t just “a bit triggered.” I was haunted.
I once locked myself in my car in a supermarket car park because I couldn’t stop shaking.
Another time, I locked myself in a partner’s bathroom for over an hour after something they said sent me into a spiral.
I had nightmares of being chased. Constant hypervigilance. The kind of terror that makes you feel like your body isn’t yours anymore.
And after years of asking doctors, therapists, professionals for help, I grew tired.
Tired of explaining.
Tired of managing symptoms instead of healing the root.
Tired of being told it would be “lifelong.”
Then one day, I found someone who said, “We can get rid of this.”
I didn’t necessarily believe them. I just had nothing left to lose.
We started by talking – taking stock of my life. That part felt familiar.
But then… we processed the trauma.
And in two sessions, it was gone.
No nightmares.
No flashbacks.
No relapses.
Gone.
It’s been years now. And I’m still free.
I don’t do this work because it’s a “career.” I do it because I had to find a way to heal. And now I know it’s possible, I want that for you too.
You don’t have to live in a body that’s stuck in the past.
You don’t have to keep replaying your pain to try and make sense of it.
You don’t have to be scared of your own relationships.
Healing is possible. Full, complete, real healing.
If anything in this post has resonated with you, I want you to know you can reach out any time. No pressure. No expectations.
Just the beginning of your freedom – if and when you’re ready.
You deserve it.
