Adulting After Dysfunky

Is This You?

Thoughts that block recovery from childhood trauma:

  • It wasn't that bad.

  • Other people had it worse.

  • Was it really abuse, toxic?

  • I can't think of specific examples.

  • Physical, sexual abuse didn't occur.

  • My parents did their best.

  • I had a roof over my head, food.

Many Colors Counseling does not provide emergency services. Generally, those who are experiencing suicidal ideation or symptoms of acute psychiatric distress require a higher level of care. Should this not be a good fit for you, I will assist you in finding alternate resources.
