Adoption is at the core of who I am - I recognize that I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it weren’t for international adoption and yet, my feelings about it remain complex. If you feel similarly and would like support navigating these thoughts and emotions, contact me below:
My Approach
The first step is identifying how adoption-specific triggers lead to unhelpful patterns. We identify the connection between a situation, your internal monologue, and your physical reaction.
I then help to identify core beliefs that were formed by an individual’s early experiences and eventually reframe them as needed.
For individuals with Complex Trauma, we use grounding skills to manage the body's physical response to triggers.
