Working with adults and adolescents. CONTENT Earlier relational trauma is a kind of an invisible trauma very often because it's something that, first of all, it's something people generally haven't heard about it. And if we've experienced it, we generally don't know about it. And it's really about what happens in our early childhood years where our emotional needs weren't met So everything might, might have been, you know, taken care of, you know, you had a nice house to live in, you had, there was food on the table, you had clean clothes and birthday presents and, you know, even holidays. So it looked like everything was fine, but there could be this, this lack of emotional warmth in a sense that the child needs. This can have a huge impact in adulthood. BIO " I grew up near lakes and forests in Scandinavia. I then lived in a few different countries before coming to London over 20 years ago.   I completed my degree in Psychology and went on to qualify as a teacher. During my years in education, I developed an interest in children’s emotional health. I then decided to train in psychotherapy, combining my integrative training with somatic (body based) and creative methods.  I help people heal and thrive after experiencing emotional loss or neglect in childhood. This can be a hidden factor in mental health – something that may show up later in life as anxiety or low mood. I developed my own trauma-informed model called the Hexagon system, which is a holistic treatment for all aspects of early relational trauma.  I’ve had six years of personal therapy myself, which was a truly transformational experience. I’m on a mission to de-mystify therapy and pave the way for others to go on their own life-affirming healing journey.   I have a special interest in giftedness, high sensitivity (HSP), and healing from narcissistic parenting/relationships. I love animals, nature, and the creative arts."   CONTACT DETAILS / LINKS Website: www.karolinachristopher.com   Linkedin: Karolina Christopher Integrative Psychotherapist (UKCP-accred.) | LinkedIn Twitter: Karolina Christopher Psychotherapist (@kchrispsych) / Twitter  Instagram:  Karolina Christopher (@kchrispsych) • Instagram photos and videos   ABOUT WENDY CAPEWELL Wendy is a Psychotherapist and Counsellor,  living in Hampshire, helping and supporting individauls and couples who are struggling, feeling lost, or helpless.
