If you are in trauma therapy and wondering why it is taking so long, this post is for you. The pace of trauma recovery is one of the most common sources of discouragement and self-blame.

People differ in how they relate to others in close relationships.  We call these differences adult attachment styles.  Knowing your style can help you understand yourself.

Holidays can be stressful times that pull up complicated emotions.  Visits to family can bring up unresolved and painful memories from childhood. Current relationships can be difficult to manage, especially when the "togetherness" is intense or lasts too long.

I want to share some of the reasons why childhood trauma can have an impact on your adult functioning and to offer hope that the impact of childhood trauma can be resolved even years later.
