Trauma-Informed Therapy for Nervous Systems Stuck in Survival Mode

Who We Serve

You might look like you’re functioning —
but inside, your nervous system is exhausted.

Many of the people we work with:

  • Are high-achieving, capable, and responsible

  • Feel constantly anxious, on edge, or emotionally flooded

  • Swing between over-functioning and shutdown

  • Are burned out, disconnected, or questioning who they really are

  • Have a history of relational, developmental, or complex trauma

If you’ve tried insight, coping strategies, or “pushing through” without relief — you’re not failing.

Your nervous system is doing exactly what it learned to do to survive.

Our Philosophy

When the nervous system has learned survival through:

  • Chronic stress

  • Early relational trauma

  • Emotional neglect or unpredictability

  • High responsibility at a young age

…it stays on high alert long after the danger has passed.

At Asentriarc, we understand trauma as a nervous system experience, not a character flaw or cognitive problem.

That’s why real healing requires:

  • Regulation before insight

  • Safety before change

  • Relationship before repair

This is the foundation of our work.
