You know the relationship had to end.
Maybe you left.
Maybe they left you.
Maybe betrayal forced your hand.
But now, you're left with feelings you didnt expect. You thought you'd feel relief.
Instead, you feel grief.
You thought you’d feel free. Instead, you feel ashamed.
You thought moving on would be easier.
Instead, you feel stuck.
And you’re carrying it alone. It can feel confusing (and even humiliating) to miss someone who betrayed you, lied to you, or left you broken. But here’s the truth:
Grief doesn't just show up for the person you love. It shows up for the life you imagined. For the version of you that existed in the relationship. For the hope that things would turn out differently.
And if you were in a trauma bond or unhealthy cycle, your nervous system may still be hooked on the push-pull of chaos. Your brain misses the pattern, even if your heart knows better.
This isn’t weakness. It’s how the body and mind learn survival. And together, we’ll unlearn it.
If you’re here, you’ve probably tried the usual things —talking with friends, journaling, maybe even past therapy. But this pain runs deep. It’s not just about “moving on.”
It’s about healing the parts of you that were wounded along the way.
The grief.
The shame.
The identity shifts.
The loss of self-trust.
That’s where our work together begins.
It’s a place to speak the quiet things out loud.
To unpack what’s still sitting heavy on your heart.
To be witnessed in your healing.
🖤 You don’t have to be “over it.”
🖤 You just have to be ready to begin.
Ciara
Still Carrying It is for deep feelers and thinkers—people healing from breakups, divorce, infidelity, trauma bonds, or emotionally unhealthy relationships.
Do any of these sound like your inner dialogue? If so, you’re in the right place.
You don’t need to be freshly heartbroken.
You don’t need to have the perfect explanation.
You just need to be ready to not do it alone anymore.
Whether you're grieving someone who hurt you, feeling ashamed of your past, or unsure how to trust yourself again —this was built with your healing in mind.
If you're googling “Why do I miss my toxic ex?” or “Why do I still love someone who cheated on me?”—you’re not alone. This kind of grief is real. And it’s deeply misunderstood.
When we lose a relationship —especially one that held hope, identity, and safety —it’s not just the person we’re grieving. It’s the version of ourselves we were in that relationship.
This is deep work held with deep compassion. We’ll explore a different layer of post-relationship pain. We’ll untangle shame, explore grief, understand the trauma bond, and begin rewriting the stories we carry about ourselves.
In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, compassionate space to say the quiet things out loud. Together, we’ll explore:
📅 Grief after toxic or complicated relationships
Naming and honoring the real losses—not just the person, but the routines, identity, and imagined future.
📅 Shame untangling
Uncovering the “I should have…” loops and replacing them with compassion and clarity.
📅 Rebuilding Self-Trust
Learning how to listen to your intuition again, and to trust the choices you make moving forward.
📅 Nervous System Healing
Understanding trauma bonds, emotional addiction, and how to regulate when the pull feels overwhelming.
📅 Identity Repair
Answering the question, “Who am I without this relationship?” and finding solid ground in your own sense of self again.
📅 Hope for Healthy Love
Exploring
what safe connection looks like and how to believe in the possibility of it
again.
Not with me. I'm not a surface-level therapist. My clients are deep feelers, thinkers, and survivors who are tired of quick fixes. In our work, I bring both compassion and clarity.
This isn’t about rushing you to “get over it.”
It’s about creating space for you to feel, release, and rebuild —at your own pace.
What clients often say after therapy:
“I didn’t know I was allowed to grieve someone who hurt me until I came here.”
“I thought shame meant I failed. Now I understand why I stayed—and that I deserve compassion.”
“I trust myself again. That feels like freedom.”
You don’t have to keep hiding your grief, shame, or anger.
You don’t have to pretend you’re okay.
And you don’t have to do this work by yourself.
Therapy can be the place you set it all down —and begin again.
You are not broken. You are healing. 🖤
Q: Do I need to be freshly out of a relationship to work with you?
Not at all. Many of my clients are months or years past the breakup/divorce but find themselves stuck in lingering grief or shame.
Q: What if I still love or miss the person who hurt me?
That’s normal—and something we can explore together safely. You don’t need to hide those feelings here.
Q: How long will therapy take?
Every client’s journey is unique. Some find relief in a few months; others stay longer for deeper healing. We’ll move at the pace your heart and nervous system need.
