In this article, we’ll explore what research says about post-traumatic growth in people with CPTSD, how healing over time shows up in real life, what it feels like, and how therapy can help you move from coping to to engaging more fully in your life and relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/23bfa0c2-d1ac-43b1-919c-cdd659dfef26/happy_couple_couples_therapy Garden of Insight - Blog | Amanda Neves Therapy - Healing from Complex Trauma: Finding Growth After CPTSD - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/2c05182e-4de6-4b6d-8f63-f8df384b5d2d/mother_child_attachment_parenting Garden of Insight - Blog | Amanda Neves Therapy - Healing from Complex Trauma: Finding Growth After CPTSD - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.amandanevestherapy.com/garden-of-insight/how-to-support-a-partner-with-disorganized-attachment-in-romantic-relationships monthly 0.5 2026-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/35e8361c-0c36-4d21-a47d-bba8bbeb2976/couples_therapy_Vaughan_Toronto Garden of Insight - Blog | Amanda Neves Therapy - How to Support a Partner with Disorganized Attachment in Romantic Relationships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/6caf90fc-da2a-4ae8-a410-15347677d0c6/couple_therapy_Toronto_Vaughan Garden of Insight - Blog | Amanda Neves Therapy - How to Support a Partner with Disorganized Attachment in Romantic Relationships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/63f0c301-f653-4193-9b08-d8239971b54c/happy_couple_therapy Garden of Insight - Blog | Amanda Neves Therapy - How to Support a Partner with Disorganized Attachment in Romantic Relationships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.amandanevestherapy.com/garden-of-insight/the-body-remembers-and-can-heal-how-polyvagal-informed-act-supports-trauma-recovery monthly 0.5 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/1f301d67-84ca-4ccf-a51b-aa708e9e91b7/pexels-thirdman-6957882.jpg Garden of Insight - Blog | Amanda Neves Therapy - How Body-Based Therapy (Polyvagal + ACT) Helps You Heal from Trauma - The body remembers. Have you ever smelled something random and suddenly felt a wave of sadness, panic, or unease even if nothing was wrong? Experience (both good and not so good) doesn’t just live in our minds. It imprints on the nervous system, often lingering beneath our awareness, until something pulls it back into the present. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk famously framed this as “the body keeps the score.” These implicit memories can trigger physical sensations or emotional flooding when a present-day cue activates them. This can be anything from a date on the calendar, a scent, or a sound. Our mind makes the connection, and our body remembers. The good news is: healing is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/9298e395-d70b-4ab0-a357-321d3f2ef17e/Polyvagal_theory.jpeg Garden of Insight - Blog | Amanda Neves Therapy - How Body-Based Therapy (Polyvagal + ACT) Helps You Heal from Trauma - The 3 main nervous system states in our bodies… 1. Ventral vagal – when we feel safe, calm, and connected 2. Sympathetic – fight or flight activation 3. Dorsal vagal – shutdown or freeze under extreme threat Trauma can disrupt this system, leaving us more reactive, prone to dissociation and shutdown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/e8787153-012a-433a-a44a-f2fddab5d7c6/ACT+psychological+flexibility Garden of Insight - Blog | Amanda Neves Therapy - How Body-Based Therapy (Polyvagal + ACT) Helps You Heal from Trauma - Make it stand out The core tenets of ACT. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/c20d47bf-0c79-4d91-81a7-5b30d75ad1c6/unsplash-image-4gcqRf3-f2I.jpg Garden of Insight - Blog | Amanda Neves Therapy - How Body-Based Therapy (Polyvagal + ACT) Helps You Heal from Trauma - Make it stand out Regulation is a practice.

I often think about what it would have been like for this version of me to hear that she did not have to be ashamed for having a brain that worked differently than those around her. I wish I could hold her, prepare her for what was to come, and tell her that her struggles never made her unlovable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/1746577553397-N56OLECLQ941WRLH629P/Simran2.jpg Garden of Insight - Blog | Amanda Neves Therapy - Breaking the Cycle: Addressing OCD and Shame for Children of Immigrants - Make it stand out I want to go back to the precise moment when I was a little girl and learned to begin and end sentences with “I’m sorry” so I can tell the child I used to be that apologies are for making amends when you do something wrong.

Grief is a natural emotional response to loss. While often associated with the death of a loved one, grief extends far beyond bereavement. It can arise from the loss of a relationship, a job, a home, a dream, or even a sense of identity. Loss can take many forms. Some named and acknowledged, others more subtle and harder to articulate. If you’re struggling with grief, offer in-person therapy at our East York, Toronto office, our Vaughan/Woodbridge office, and online across Ontario to support you through life’s losses, no matter how big or small. https://www.amandanevestherapy.com/abuse daily 0.75 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1a49930896682b6ad367b0/615ed41d-0db1-460d-839c-9b995f499edc/woman-abuse-therapy-toronto-woodbriedge Healing from Abuse - What is abuse? Abuse is a pattern of harmful behaviors that can be physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or financial in nature. While abuse can happen in various settings (in families, relationships, workplaces, or institutions) the impact often lingers long after the harm has stopped. Healing from a history of abuse is a process that requires support, validation, and compassionate care. We help clients process the effects of past abuse in an environment that prioritizes your safety.

Perfectionism is a pattern of high self-expectations and constant self-evaluation. While aiming for excellence can be motivating, perfectionism lends to stress, burnout, procrastination, and self-criticism. These once adaptive behaviours stem from early attachment experiences, where love, approval, or safety felt conditional.
