-Self isolation 

-Feelings of being abandoned by loved ones 

-Unable to stand conflict within relationships 

-Unease with authority figures such as your boss or professor 

-Trust issues

Complex Post Traumatic Disorder (CPTSD) and Codependency

Early childhood Attachment- Anxious and Avoidant attachment styles that lead to issues as an adult

Early childhood Attachment- Anxious and Avoidant attachment styles that lead to issues as an adult

  

Caused by long-term repeated trauma such as being with a verbally abusive partner, parent, co worker or friend. This can result in hypervigilance, flash backs,  walking on egg shells, anticipating something to go wrong, anxiety, social anxiety, depression and codependency.

A codependent individual seeks validation from others due to early childhood attachment issues. The person more than often attracts manipulative individuals due to their need to care. A highly sensitive person can fall under the definition of codependency. The person then cycles through complex post trauma (CPTSD) as they negotiate the relationship with the toxic individual.

I specialize in assisting codependent individuals hold strong boundaries as they return to their authentic self.
