You're describing the situation most of my clients arrive in. Talk therapy does what it can do — and then runs into a ceiling, because the wound isn't entirely in the story. It's in implicit memory: in the body, in reflex, in symbol. The modalities I work with are designed to reach those places without needing the ego's permission first. The work begins where words run out.

We talk. I ask what's bringing you, how it shows up in your life, and what you've tried. I'll explain how I work, and we'll see together whether the fit feels right on both sides. Nothing intense happens in a first session. The work moves at the pace of your nervous system, not faster.

Yes — and you're in good company. Childhood trauma is often recorded in implicit memory, which doesn't require words or specific memories to be worked with. The body remembers in its own language. We work with what's there.

The patterns are the trauma. The thing you can't seem to outgrow, the part of you that keeps showing up uninvited, the relationship dynamics that repeat — these are how implicit memory speaks. You don't need a capital-T event to qualify for this work. You just need to be tired of being run by something you can't quite name.

Yes — and many of my clients come to me through exactly that door. Persistent insomnia, binge cycles, and other psychosomatic symptoms are often parts of you trying to communicate something your conscious mind hasn't yet been able to hold. They aren't the diagnosis. They're the messenger. If you've been offered medication and you sense there's something underneath you'd rather understand than only manage, this work may be for you.

Most clients start weekly and move to fortnightly as the work settles. The arc varies — trauma work isn't fast, but it isn't endless either. I'll be honest with you about pacing as we go.
