Childhood trauma is a series of experiences that are accumulated over time, and untangling them can feel overwhelming. It doesn’t have to involve physical abuse or be one big recognizable event; repeated instances of emotional neglect and not recieving appropriate support from your caregivers when going through a difficult time can be just as harmful. In fact, complex, developmental trauma (CPTSD) often has emotional neglect at its core. Neglect is what you should have had but didn’t get as a child; what didn’t happen that should have happened. Emotional neglect occurs when parents don’t respond to, acknowledge, or validate their child’s feelings often enough. Repeatedly not being listened to by your parents, being teased for expressing your emotions, or being told “if you don’t stop crying, I will give you something to cry about” all can take a toll. A child growing up in this environment, even if their parents "mean well" and provide for their physical needs, has no room for emotions. This child might have a hard time identifying, understanding and expressing their feelings. These difficulties can last into adulthood. Our childhood traumatic experiences continue to affect how we feel about ourselves when we become adults. Adults who experienced childhood emotional neglect often have life-long negative beliefs about themselves. They often feel lonely, empty, unimportant, different, and unfulfilled in life. This affects how we build relationships with other people, and how we handle conflict and stressful situations. Together, we will work to understand how your past experiences are impacting your current reality. We will chart a path forward, using EMDR, Somatic approaches and others, towards something healthier, more balanced and whole, so that you will feel more comfortable setting necessary boundaries with difficult people and living authentically. - - - “Healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about removing the barriers to what is already whole.” Faisal Ali Sarohi

The Art of Rest
Life Coach, M.S. Psychology
Dagny is trained as a research psychologist who spent four years studying the biomedical markers of sleep, mindfulness, and self-compassion —all from the lens of the stress-response and nervous system lens. In this training, Trauma and PTSD are two major compenets Dagny is passionate about. Additionally, Dagny understands the ins and outs of what trauma and PTSD do to the human experience and finds a compassionate way forward. When addressing trauma and PTSD Dagny helps teach and guide on how stress impacts our body, and what to do when things like sleep become elusive, social problems become larger, and anxiety or depression creep in the backdoor. Her tactics range from state-of-the-art stress science that helps pull out different elements of stress-health as well as dives into contemplative practices like dreamwork and behavioral routines around stress and sleep-related anxiety. She is highly successful at helping folks find a restful night and restful life, regardless of how long it's been since they've had one.

Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Trauma can continue to shape how you feel, respond, and relate long after the original experience has passed. It may show up as hypervigilance, emotional numbing, reactivity, or a persistent sense of being on edge. Many women find themselves trying to function while their nervous system remains stuck in protective patterns. In our work together, we focus on understanding these responses, gently increasing your sense of safety and regulation, and building new ways of relating to yourself and others that are not defined by past experiences.
