Do you often feel anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, exhausted or stuck in a low mood? Firstly, ok to feel a range of emotions :)

You may be experiencing anxiety or depression, but sometimes there can be deeper experiences contributing to how you feel today, and let's delve into what could possibly be happening.....

Could childhood trauma be connected?

Difficult childhood experiences can influence how we learn to manage emotions, cope with stress and develop relationships.

As an adult, this may sometimes show up as:

Anxiety and overthinking
Depression or low mood
Emotional overwhelm
Low self-esteem
People-pleasing
Difficulty setting boundaries
Relationship difficulties

You may find yourself thinking, “Why do I feel this way when my childhood was so long ago?”

The effects of difficult childhood experiences can continue into adulthood, particularly when emotions or experiences were never given the opportunity to be understood and processed.

How can counselling help?

At Rebuild Together Counselling, Pam Varas, Registered Counsellor, provides a safe and supportive space for adults experiencing childhood trauma, anxiety, depression and emotional overwhelm.

Counselling can help you understand where your patterns may have developed, recognise emotional triggers, build healthier coping strategies and develop greater self-compassion.

We may have learned behaviours in the past, but it does not have to shape your future.
