“I want you to have a sense of control in your life, and like not everything is coming at you at once. And like you got this.”
— Lindsay Chapman
Run over by a bus (twice).
Overwhelmed and drowning in the trauma you’ve been through, or going through…
…makes you feel like you got run over by a bus (twice).
It sucks to feel like you can’t find a way to feel better.
You’re IN IT. And it f*cking sucks.
Struggling to focus at work, burning your peanut butter sandwich (if that’s even a thing), and feeling like some zombie that you don’t even recognize are all part of your day-to-day norms.
Couldn’t spy a healthy relationship.
And then there’s the reactivity, the attachment style that is malfunctioning in your life, and you feel like you couldn't spy a healthy relationship even if one was staring you right in the face.
Maybe you know you’ve got some (or a lot of) codependent tendencies. You know that the relationships around you aren’t what you need them to be and you’re an expert people pleaser while constantly feeling guilty and like you aren’t enough.
And then there’s the fear that you are straight up going to be abandoned.
It sucks. And the communication happening between you and that friend, that family member, your partner is malfunctioning to a point where now you just don’t talk about the THINGS anymore.
You think “Why bother?” Because it’s just so hard - and exhausting.
Busying the sh*t out of yourself.
The reminders of what you've been through feel like they are everywhere, anywhere, and causing you to worry constantly, have flashbacks of what happened, and you avoid it all like the plague.
And you distract yourself with social media scrolling, busying the sh*t out of yourself, and taking on way too many things so you don’t have to think about the hard stuff.
But it’s not working right? Or else you wouldn’t be here.
So f*cking lonely.
Ok so hear me out, what if it didn’t have to feel so f*cking lonely, so overwhelming, or like you’re drowning and stuck in the trauma.
It’s not knocking on your door every damn minute of the day. And it sure as sh*t doesn’t have to keep you from living your best life.
Nope.
You get to actually feel lighter, more you, and more carefree.
What if you went to work, to your friends, that family thing you tried to get out of last month, or just went to sleep at night…
…with so much more peace.
And your job, your relationships, your health, your everything started to just be easy.
So what does that even mean (right?) and what would that look like? Is this even a thing?
Well it’s a thing, and you and I get to work together so you can have that.
This trauma BS.
So you’re probably wondering what makes me the perfect fit of a therapist that’s going to help you melt all this trauma bullsh*t you got going on that’s impacting your flow, your vibe, your happiness?
For one - I’ve been through a lot of trauma in my life, and I can relate.
Even if it’s not about that specific trauma you’re going through, I believe any trauma you’ve experienced - f*cking matters.
And pain is pain.
I can help you heal that pain and finally get relief.
With specialized training as a certified trauma therapist, I can help guide you to release these reminders, these feelings, this haze, this way of living and being.
AND one more thing: I specialize in helping you navigate hard, disconnected, and “meh” feeling relationships in your life. Let’s work out the kinks, install some serious communication skills, and heal the sh*t out of them. Because why not?
"Lindsay has been a wonderful therapist. She is a patient and thoughtful listener. I have been seeing her for over a year and she has helped me through anxiety, family trauma, and relationships. She allowed me to visualize what was going on in my mind which has tremendously helped me get through episodes of anxiety or anger. With her guidance, I have learned acceptance and have overall improved my relationships with others and myself."
