Complex Trauma Therapy in Austin, TX

Complex trauma doesn’t come from just one event — it is the result of multiple, repeated, or prolonged traumatic experiences throughout a person’s life. Unlike single-incident trauma, complex trauma impacts the nervous system on a deep level, affecting how you relate to yourself, to others, and to the world. It can make it difficult to regulate emotions, feel safe, or trust your own reactions.

Have you noticed patterns like these?

• You feel like you’re constantly moving from one traumatic event to another

• You never seem to “catch a break”

• You feel on edge, easily overwhelmed, or emotionally explosive

• You struggle with numbness or disconnection from your body and emotions

This isn’t your fault. Survivors of complex trauma often have a nervous system that interprets chaos, unpredictability, or even harmful relationships as “normal” or “safe.” When trauma is familiar, the nervous system learns to treat it as the baseline for everyday life, making it hard to recognize or avoid unhealthy patterns.

This cycle can keep you stuck — but it doesn’t have to.
