Welcome to Sara Brashear MFT

Human beings are highly adaptable and innately able to respond to stress.  With enough relational support, most difficult experiences are resolved and fade into the background.  When stress is overwhelming or there is inadequate relational support for processing difficult experiences, our human ability to adapt allows us to dissociate overwhelmingly painful experience from everyday life.  This is helpful in the moment, but over time, with enough dissociated experiences, the dissociative response may become unhelpful and lead to difficulty in relationships, both personal and in career.  Therapy for dissociation helps resolve old trauma using your own innate adaptive perspective.
