Childhood Trauma Therapy in Orange County

Heal the impact of your past, understand patterns in your relationships, and create deeper connection with yourself and others.

Do you feel stuck in patterns from your past?

Many adults notice that experiences from childhood continue to affect their emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Even if the events happened years ago, you might feel:

• Difficulty trusting others or opening up emotionally

• A tendency to pull away from closeness, even when you want it

• Feeling anxious, on edge, or easily triggered

• Struggling with self-criticism, shame, or low self-worth

• Repeating relationship patterns that leave you frustrated or disconnected

If this resonates, you’re not alone — and therapy can help.

Why Childhood Trauma Shows Up in Adult Relationships

Our early experiences shape how we form attachments and connect with others. Childhood trauma — whether neglect, emotional unavailability, or abuse — can lead to patterns like:

• Emotional withdrawal or avoidance

• Hyper-independence or people-pleasing

• Difficulty expressing needs or setting boundaries

• Feeling unsafe with closeness or intimacy

These patterns once kept you safe, but now they may make relationships feel confusing, distant, or overwhelming. Therapy provides a space to explore these experiences safely and start creating healthier ways of connecting.

How Therapy Can Help

Attachment-focused therapy for adults helps you:

• Understand how your childhood shaped your emotions and attachment style

• Recognize patterns that repeat in your relationships

• Explore and process difficult memories or emotions

• Build emotional safety and healthier ways to connect

• Feel more confident, secure, and present in relationships

Therapy isn’t about blaming your parents or past experiences — it’s about understanding how your early experiences influence your life today and learning tools to break old patterns.

Who This Is For

Childhood trauma therapy may be helpful if you:

• Experienced neglect, emotional unavailability, or abuse as a child

• Notice patterns in adult relationships that feel familiar but painful

• Struggle with trust, intimacy, or emotional closeness

• Want to feel safer and more confident in yourself and with others

• Are ready to explore your past in a compassionate, supportive space

You don’t need to have all the answers — just the desire to understand and heal.
