Often in my practice I work with creative, put-together people, but, despite appearances, inside they feel disconnected from themselves and others. Many times these feelings are a response to experiencing trauma.

This can program the brain and nervous system to be highly sensitive to shame, rejection and fear. BUT, through reparative experiences like therapy, neuroscience has shown that the human brain can rewire itself to new ways of thinking and responding.
