Therapy focused on how those reactions were learned. In person in Tweed Heads or online.
Tap for sound
You replay conversations long after they’re over.
Your body reacts before your mind catches up.
You’ve talked it through before. The feeling stays the same.
You tick one thing off and you’re already braced for the next.
None of this means something is wrong with you. Reactions like these were learned, and our work focuses on the memories they were learned from.
