How your unresolved trauma can show up in your adult life
Unresolved childhood trauma can quietly show up as self-sabotaging patterns, such as:
— Avoidance
— Fear of failure
— People-pleasing
— Overthinking
— Perfectionism
— Staying small
These patterns often leave you feeling:
— Drained of energy and motivation
— Anxious and restless
— Resentful from running around for others
— Overwhelmed by decision-making
— Exhausted by the cycle of overthinking
— Helpless from blaming or doubting yourself
— Shame and guilt from feeling “not enough”
The truth is: patterns like staying small, keeping the peace, and being the “good” or “easy” one once helped you survive. They kept you safe.
But now, they may be holding you back. If you often feel overwhelmed, foggy, or exhausted — please know: these feelings aren’t who you are. They’re responses to not having enough room to fully be yourself.
The good news? As you heal unresolved childhood trauma, these patterns can soften — making space for renewed energy, clarity, and motivation. Together, we can help your true self take up the space it deserves.
“Maybe the journey isn’t about becoming anything.
Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you, so that you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”
-Paulo Coelho
What Changes Can Happen Through Therapy?
As we work together, you might begin to notice shifts like:
“I don’t feel as stuck or overwhelmed all the time.”
“I’m not avoiding my feelings as much—I can actually sit with them.”
“I’m starting to understand why I react the way I do.”
“I can say no without so much guilt.”
“I have energy for what I want to do. ”
“I’m starting to feel more connected to myself.”
“I feel less exhausted from overthinking everything.”
“I have more compassion for the younger version of me, and I’m not as hard on myself as I used to be.”
Whether you’re pushing yourself toward a “better” version of you but feeling burnt out, or holding back because you’re unsure where to start, therapy offers a compassionate space to pause, reflect, and untangle what’s holding you back—and to move forward with more clarity, confidence, and ease.
Hi there, I’m Juhee!
I am a licensed professional counselor deeply passionate about helping adults heal unresolved childhood trauma and limiting beliefs. I specialize in helping adults heal childhood trauma and break free from the beliefs and patterns that keep them stuck.
I know firsthand how easy it is to get stuck in limiting beliefs like “What’s the point?” and self-sabotaging patterns that keep you playing small. For years, I thought these patterns were just part of who I was — until I began to uncover and heal the overlooked trauma and limiting beliefs I absorbed from my early experiences.
With personal experience and professional expertise, I’m here to guide you on your journey to healing. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you’re exploring new ways to heal, I deeply respect the courage it takes to take this step. Together, we’ll work to reconnect with your authentic self, break free from old patterns, and create lasting change. I’m excited to walk this path with you.
My Approach
My therapy approach offers a compassionate and holistic path forward for those seeking to heal childhood trauma, self-sabotaging patterns, and limiting beliefs. Together, we’ll explore how patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or avoidance were formed—so you can begin to understand yourself with greater clarity and self-compassion. We’ll create space to feel what’s been left unfelt—your grief, challenging emotions, and long-held pain—because this is often where true healing begins.
Our work will also support you in reconnecting with your body and intuition, helping you build inner resources for lasting change. We’ll meet you exactly where you are, and together we’ll cultivate both the gentle, warm voice you’ve longed for and the firm, determined voice that helps you move forward.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. If you’re ready to begin, I’d love to meet you!
