People Pleasing, Perfectionism & Boundaries
When insight isn’t enoughSometimes our minds understand that we need boundaries, but the nervous system continues to drive over giving and over performing as a means to earn safety and connection. You have likely already invested time and energy into healing these patterns, leading to strong insight and self-awareness but still find it difficult to integrate understanding into meaningful, lasting change. This is the core conflict we can address together through relationally attuned psychotherapy.
Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy addresses this gap by working directly with the body's embedded memory and protective responses. This approach understands that early trauma and attachment wounds are stored not just in the cognitive mind, but in the physiology of the nervous system. By gently tracking and regulating these physical patterns, we move beyond cognitive insight to create new, felt experiences of safety that allow for genuine, sustainable change.

Endlessly cycling between guilt and resentment.
