You’ve Been in Survival Mode for So Long—Let’s Begin the Work of Coming Home to Yourself
Living with Complex PTSD (CPTSD) can feel like you’re carrying invisible weight. Maybe you’ve spent years walking on emotional eggshells, battling a relentless inner critic, or wondering why peace and self-worth feel just out of reach. If anxiety, depression, shame, or emotional overwhelm are familiar companions, you are not alone—and you are not broken. At The Counseling Zebra, we offer remote trauma-informed therapy throughout Georgia to help you gently shift from surviving to truly living. This is a space where your voice is honored, your story is held with care, and healing unfolds at your pace.
What Is CPTSD and How Does It Show Up?
CPTSD often stems from chronic, relational, or developmental trauma—experiences that were overwhelming and prolonged, especially in childhood. It may not come from a single event, but from years of feeling unsafe, unseen, or invalidated. The effects run deep and wide: emotional flashbacks, fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, chronic anxiety, shame, numbness, and the ever-present voice of a harsh inner critic. These symptoms are not flaws. They are your mind and body’s way of protecting you when safety wasn’t an option. Healing begins when those protective strategies are met with compassion—not judgment.
How CPTSD Affects Communities Who Experience Marginalization
CPTSD often takes root in communities that have been systemically marginalized—where safety, validation, and belonging have not always been accessible. For BIPOC folks, 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, neurodivergent folks, disabled folks, people living in larger bodies, and others navigating oppression, discrimination, or cultural invisibility, trauma is often not a single event but a lifelong pattern of being misunderstood, silenced, or harmed simply for existing as you are. These experiences can lead to chronic self-doubt, hypervigilance, emotional dysregulation, and a deep sense of shame or disconnection. At The Counseling Zebra, we recognize the unique ways trauma shows up in these communities and offer care that affirms your identity, centers your lived experience, and supports you in gently unlearning survival patterns while reclaiming joy, voice, and inner safety.
How We Support Clients with CPTSD
At The Counseling Zebra, we understand how layered and tender this work can be. Our approach to CPTSD therapy is slow, spacious, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. We help you identify the patterns that once kept you safe but now hold you back—like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or emotional numbing—and work with you to replace them with tools that nurture trust, safety, and inner stability. We’ll help you quiet the inner critic, strengthen your self-compassion, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that were silenced, shamed, or abandoned. You don’t have to push or perform here—you just get to be.
You deserve therapy that feels like a safe haven, not another place where you have to explain or justify your pain. Our licensed trauma therapists in Georgia offer care that honors your full humanity—your grief, your resilience, your longing to feel free. We draw from parts work, mindfulness, somatic practices, inner child healing, and DBT-informed strategies to help you regulate your nervous system and deepen your sense of self. Every session is co-created with you, at your pace, with your consent. You are the expert of your experience—we’re just here to walk beside you.
Our Approach: Gentle, Collaborative, and Affirming
Clients often tell us they begin to feel more grounded, more whole—like they’re slowly reclaiming pieces of themselves they thought were lost. As therapy progresses, you might notice less panic, less self-judgment, fewer emotional flashbacks, and a growing sense of ease in your body. You may begin setting boundaries without guilt, experiencing relationships with more clarity, and waking up with more self-trust. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s presence. It’s not to erase the past, but to soften its hold and make space for the life you want to live now.
