When we think about trauma, we often focus on its painful and disruptive effects. But for some individuals, adversity can also lead to profound personal transformation. This process, known as post-traumatic growth (PTG), describes the positive psychological changes that can emerge in the aftermath of hardship.

Our earliest relationships shape the way we connect with others, trust, and feel safe in the world. When those early bonds are inconsistent, neglectful, or painful, they can leave lasting attachment wounds that follow us into adulthood. These wounds often surface in patterns of insecurity, fear of abandonment, or struggles with intimacy. But healing is possible.

Life often brings us challenges that leave emotional marks—grief, anxiety, heartbreak, or past trauma. These experiences, while universal, can feel isolating and overwhelming. Therapy offers a pathway to healing, providing a safe space to explore emotions, uncover insights, and build resilience.
