More about Shay DuBois, LCSW
You feel broken and stuck but afraid to talk about what happened. Why revisit things you want to forget? You may have tried talking to family or friends and were met with disbelief, invalidation, or comments like “get over it” or “you have it so much better than I did.” The message you received was that it didn't matter and no one wanted to hear it.
So, you put your feelings in a box and end up exhausted and empty inside. You feel ashamed and wonder if it was your fault. You try to act normal, but no one knows the real you. When you aren't numb, you feel anxious, angry, and second-guess yourself. Why can't you move on? It was so long ago, yet you're trapped in a hellish cycle of blame and shame, unable to remember what it feels like to relax.
You relive your mistakes, which seem to “prove” how worthless you are. The only escape is to numb out by binge-watching TV, scrolling on your phone, shopping, drinking-the list goes on. You want to be doing things but hate yourself because you can't. You spend so much time in critical self-talk, knowing this cycle will repeat. You don't know how to make it stop.
You're afraid of what might come up if you start to talk, but you can't keep going around feeling this way. It doesn't feel like living-always on guard, unable to trust others, unable to regulate emotions, always caretaking for others but feeling alone and unseen.
Hi, my name is Shay DuBois. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of New England. Through somatic trauma-focused therapy in San Diego, I help adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, pain, and trauma to reawaken to their lives and discover who they are, what they love, and how they can find peace through healing.
Therapy with me is, above all, a gentle process. Everything I do centers on compassion. Together, we'll ease you back into connection with yourself first, then with others and the world.
Trauma sucks-therapy doesn't have to.
