Revive Counselling & Neurofeedback

It is not uncommon for someone with a complex trauma history to want to work fast and go directly to their core trauma. Especially when it’s directly relating to symptoms today. However, in doing this the therapy process can actually go slower in the long run, as it runs the risk of activating parts of the system that are not on board with opening up such vulnerable material. This can then result in backlash with an increase in symptoms, addictive behaviour, and an even more challenging time processing traumatic material. Respectful, paced trauma work tends to go faster in the long run.

Great illustration of entering into therapy!

In The Past 3 Years, I Have Become A New Person So I Decided To Illustrate My Therapy Process For the past year, I've been sharing short comics that explore the therapy process. I had to get comfortable with talking about uncomfortable things. I’d love to share this work with others who are struggling with difficult emotions or family histories.
