Women's Issues and Empowerment
You carry the weight of everyone else's needs, but who is holding you?
You have spent your life being what everyone needed you to be.
Capable. Reliable. Nice.
Put-together on the outside, even when it's chaos inside.
You overthink every interaction. You say yes when you want to say no.
You scan rooms, texts, and silences for signs that you're too much, or not enough.
And underneath all the doing and fixing and caretaking,
you're tired. Not just physically. Existentially.
You've lost touch with your own voice.
You wonder who you'd be if you stopped performing.
And a part of you is quietly asking: What about me?
Understanding Women's Challenges
Individual Trauma Therapy for Women in Connecticut
This isn't selfish. This isn't dramatic.
This is what it looks like when a woman has spent years suppressing her needs, her truth, her body's wisdom.
You may be feeling:
-
Chronically anxious or emotionally exhausted
-
Disconnected from your body or desires
-
Burdened by guilt when you do prioritize yourself
-
Trapped in people-pleasing or perfectionism
-
Unsure how to trust your intuition again
-
Stuck between "I should be grateful" and "This isn't enough”
These are not personality flaws, they are survival strategies - learned and rehearsed in a world that taught you to disappear.
The Work We Do
In therapy, we make space for the woman behind the roles.
The one who is not "mom" or "wife" or "employee" - just you.
We explore:
-
The parts of you that learned to keep the peace, earn love, and shrink to fit
-
The unmet needs you've buried under competence and kindness
-
The shame you've absorbed about your body, boundaries, or voice
-
The wildness, pleasure, rage, and intuition waiting underneath
We use trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, parts work, somatic exploration, and nervous system healing to help you come back to your Self-fully, unapologetically, powerfully.
