Childhood Trauma Therapy

CHILDHOOD TRAUMA THERAPY

Childhood trauma can take many forms, from physical, sexual, or emotional trauma by primary caretakers. Childhood trauma can also be affected by community, religious and cultural sources. Any of these can negatively impact your adult life, although it is not often obvious. Problems can show up as symptoms post traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety. It can also create compulsive behaviors that become a road-block to happiness and healthy relationships later in life. Therapy can give you the tools to heal. Contact Dr. Lara today!

  • Learning the impact of that treatment on the forming of an "attachment style": secure attachment, anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, chaotic and disorganized

THERAPY FOR CHILDHOOD TRAUMA

Those who have suffered as children due to parents who were unreliable, chaotic, and dangerous emotionally, physically, and/or sexually are especially susceptible to “growing” an addictive or compulsive behaviors.

Often they escape their families of origin with high hopes that they will now go on to live a life of freedom and peace, and even find love. They are shocked to find that time after time, they end up in relationships in which they feel victimized, manipulated, or are care-taking someone.

It hits them one day that they have unconsciously repeated their past, engaged in relationships that ultimately resemble the childhood family abuse, which results in similar pain, loneliness, anger and disconnection. Hopelessness often sets in when they begin to believe that they can’t find and engage in a healthy relationship.
