The short, simple answer: no.
The longer, nuanced answer: living life with trauma is a painful experience. You get trapped in cycles of negative emotions and intrusive thoughts that stop you from living your best life.
Moving past trauma is uncomfortable because it forces you to look at things you’re trying desperately to avoid. In therapy, you learn a new way to relate to those events. That process is so much less uncomfortable than the pain you were experiencing from trying unsuccessfully to escape the pain.
Essentially: you’re already being bothered by these memories. If we look them in the face, we can get them to stop bothering you.
Ultimately, your goals and your results are our first priorities and what we do together is up to you.
