You’ve learned to read a room before you even walk into it. Scanning faces, picking up on the moods of others, anticipating needs. It’s second nature now, that quiet vigilance. You’ve spent years trying to keep the peace, trying not to upset, disappoint, or draw too much attention to yourself. And even if you’ve broken free from the relationship, or at least see it more clearly now, the whisper of doubt remains: was it that bad? 

 

Relational trauma, especially the kind born from being the child of an emotionally immature parent, narcissistic abuse, or coercive control doesn’t always leave visible scars. Instead, it leaves confusion. You question your memories, your instincts, and your worth. You might feel anxious when someone’s tone shifts, guilty for having basic needs in relationships, or frozen in moments when you want to speak up. You may have moments where you miss the person who hurt you, and you feel so much shame about it. 

 

It’s not weakness. It’s trauma.

 

At Mind. Body. PowHER., therapy for women with relational trauma is a process of reclamation. Reclamation of your voice, your boundaries, and your self-trust. Together, we gently untangle the conditioning that taught you love was something you had to earn or prove yourself worthy of, and we help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that you had to silence to survive. You’ll learn to recognize the patterns of manipulation and control, to name your truth without apology, and to rebuild safety inside your own body.

 

This work isn’t about rushing forgiveness or “moving on.” It’s about healing the relationship you have with yourself and learning that relationships can feel safe, steady, and mutual. It’s about remembering that you are not at fault for what happened to you, and you are not destined for a life of unhealthy toxic relationships. You are a survivor and you deserve to feel safe within yourself and in relationships with others.
