This page was established as an informational and educational hub for all facets of complex trauma and attachment theory. As I am a professional counselor and do see some of the people that read and write on this forum, I keep my responses limited and opt on the side of ensuring confidentiality for all. That said, I do really appreciate your input and responses, even if my public response to you is limited. Thank you for reading and for sharing any related articles that might be of interest to others that care about complex trauma.

About Practice: Counseling individuals and couples in the Portland area, Lifekey Counseling provides mindful, body-based, experiential psychotherapy for the complex trauma of life, including anxiety, shame, and unwanted patterns.

Trauma is a term used to describe the psychological wound following an event that shocks or overwhelms our body’s natural protective strategies/resources, resulting in an extensive recovery process that usually includes not simple reparation of old structures but creation of new organizational structures and strategies.


In contrast, ‘Complex Trauma‘…

~ refers not only to a single, identifiable, sometimes impersonal event, but to prolonged or repeated interpersonal injuries that accumulate over time. It sometimes represents a conceptual model of human development in ordered response to these ongoing injuries.

~ often presents as symptoms including anxiety, fatalism, internalized oppression, and a broken/fragmented identity or inconsistent sense of self.

~ is often diagnosed and treated as separate components — as anxiety, depression, ‘learned helplessness, dependence, ADHD, PTSD, IBS, addiction, personality ‘disorders’, and a whole range of physical or mental disorders.

For those that I see in my therapy office, please be aware that your confidentiality is completely up to you. I will not be disclosing information about you (even acknowledging that I know you) unless you choose to do so.

Thank you for your interest. Interaction and questions are always welcome.
