Explore Other Options First. Trauma Alchemy May Still Work Alongside Support

Your nervous system is likely carrying a high level of unresolved activation right now that would be difficult to address with trauma alchemy exclusively.
When intensity rises, it may be hard to stay oriented, present, or grounded. You might feel overwhelmed, shut down, or reactive in ways that don’t match your values.
This doesn’t mean you’re “too much” or doing something wrong. It means your system needs more support, not more pressure.
What’s actually happening
This often shows up as:
Rapid overwhelm or shutdown
Difficulty staying present under stress
Strong reactions that feel outside your control
Is Trauma Alchemy right for you?
Yes, but not as a standalone container right now.
Trauma Alchemy works best when the system has enough safety and containment to engage depth work. For now, direct relational support and stabilization will help build the capacity that makes self-paced depth work effective later.
