Melissa Brunetti, Adoption & Childhood Trauma-Informed SMGI® Practitioner
​Childhood Trauma Healing
Healing the wounds created in childhood so you can stop surviving and start living.
Whether your pain comes from emotional neglect, abandonment, family dysfunction, abuse, adoption, or early attachment wounds - childhood trauma can shape how you think, feel, relate, and move through the world long after the events themselves are over.
​
Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery® helps access and heal the subconscious patterns, nervous system responses, and emotional imprints that traditional talk therapy often cannot fully reach.

Adoption/Childhood Trauma Healing
​
Are you looking for an adoption trauma informed practitioner?
​
If you were adopted - or experienced significant childhood trauma - you may have spent years feeling the effects of something you couldn’t fully explain.
​
Maybe you’ve struggled with:
​
-
Feeling different or disconnected from others
-
Depression, anxiety, or chronic sadness
-
Difficulty trusting people or maintaining healthy relationships
-
A deep sense of loss, emptiness, or not knowing who you truly are
-
Emotional patterns that don’t seem to make logical sense
​
Even if your trauma happened before you can consciously remember it, your body remembers.
​
Pre-verbal trauma, attachment wounds, relinquishment trauma, adoption trauma, and childhood emotional wounds can become stored in the nervous system and subconscious - shaping how you think, feel, relate, and move through life long after the original experience.
​
Traditional talk therapy can be incredibly helpful, but many people find that insight alone does not fully resolve what is stored deeper in the body and subconscious mind.
​
Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery® helps access and heal those deeper imprints by working with the subconscious, nervous system, emotional memory, and body awareness simultaneously.
​
This work offers a gentle yet powerful way to process what has remained unresolved - even when you don’t have conscious memory of where it began.
​
You do not have to stay stuck in survival mode.
​
Healing is possible.
​
And if adoption or childhood trauma has shaped your story more than you realized, I would be honored to help you navigate that healing journey.
