“Do I matter?”
“Am I good enough?”
These thoughts can trigger paralyzing fear, leading to physical symptoms like a tight throat, a racing heart, and a frozen mind.
These reactions often stem from the aftermath of trauma or overwhelmingly stressful and emotionally painful experiences.
Mentally, it feels like a constant battle. Fear can drive you to withdraw, even from those you care about most.
Crowds and social activities might feel overwhelming, sometimes making isolation seem safer than going out.
“Why did this happen to me?”
The thoughts you have about your experience – of being abandoned, or in a car wreck, or witnessing the death of someone – or whatever your experience was – has left invisible marks throughout your body and mind.
Just when you think you’ve ‘got it whipped,’ a loud noise startles you to the point that you recognize those feelings still own you.
You matter – your life matters
No matter where you’ve been, where you are today, or what anyone else says, you matter and your life matters.
We witness creative transformations from pain and fear to healing and growth every day. Those thoughts that you’re not good enough, that the only options you have are those that are driven by fear, these are common experiences when recovering from trauma.
We understand the challenges of expressing these struggles to those who have tried to offer you their help.
Maybe you’ve tried counseling before and felt that words didn’t fully express what it is like to face everyday challenges with constant self-doubt and a flooding of painful or disturbing memories
“What if I don’t matter” are some of the scariest thoughts that bring tears to the eyes of those who have witnessed and survived the unimaginable.
We can’t erase the past, but we can help you break through that silence and frustration with creative and practical tools that lead you to feeling connected and understood. Let’s take control of your future with a plan that you feel confident in starting today.
Welcome to Art of the Matter…
…where YOU matter.
In our private Art Therapy studios, we can safely explore new ways of looking at and dealing with what you’ve been through.
You will learn to accept yourself as you develop skills to see crisis as a curious challenge and find practical approaches to improving your relationships and resolving conflicts.
Imagine the ability to face triggers without flashbacks and without experiencing emotions as intense as the day it occurred. Consider the change you can create when the pressure to talk about your feelings is transformed into a technique that doesn’t require words.
Together, we will develop a unique plan that empowers you to live your best life.
