CPTSD & Childhood Emotional Neglect Therapy in Michigan

Healing from Longterm, Complex Trauma

Complex trauma often comes from experiences that happened repeatedly or quietly over time: emotional neglect, inconsistency, criticism, or childhood environments where your needs were never understood or met. These experiences shape how you trust, relate, and see yourself — even long into adulthood. You deserve a relationship where your story is heard, believed, and held with compassion.

Signs CPTSD or Emotional Neglect May be Affecting You

• Difficulty trusting others

• Feeling disconnected or emotionally numb

• Strong reactions to small triggers

• Feeling “too much” or “not enough”

• People-pleasing or fawning

• Feeling unsafe in relationships

• Constant self-blame or shame

• Chronic anxiety or overthinking

• Trouble expressing needs or emotions
