FROM TOXIC TO RECIPROCAL RELATIONSHIP PATTERNS
Somatic Psychotherapy
Complex trauma healing for spooky, pissed off survivors & cycle-breakers
On the journey from harmful to reciprocal relationships
You’re no stranger to gaslighting, narcissistic abuse, and otherwise relationship patterns that reinforce harm, power-over, confusion, shame, and disconnection. You’ve spent a lot of time worried that you’re the problem (you’ve certainly heard it enough times).
And while you’ve done a lot of work on yourself and feel juuust sturdy enough knowing that you’re not the problem (on your good days), you still feel caught in the sticky, spidery web of old patterns, worried that you can’t tell the difference between a red flag and old trauma, afraid that you’ll never be able to stop ruminating, and perhaps terrified that these patterns are being passed to your kids.
We get you; you are not alone.
If you’re like the beautiful, brave humans that come to see us, you might be:
On a deliberate journey of healing relationship patterns born from complex trauma (domestic violence, SA, IPV, high-control religion, purity culture, systemic oppression, and any relationship system that shaped your nervous system into chronic overwhelm, fawn, freeze, over-giving, over-thinking, disconnection, or fight/flight)
Deep-feeling, sensitive, maybe neurodivergent, & longing for relationships that can hold depth, complexity, and true belonging that is NOT based in performance, perfection, or pressure to get it right all the time (imagine relationships where you can just be)
Brain-crampingly hypervigilant of repeating relationship patterns… “Is this a red flag, or my old trauma?”… “what would be the ‘secure’ thing to do in this situation?”
Afraid of passing patterns along to your kids
Searching for an approach that blends somatic, root-cause trauma healing with an orientation toward collective justice, systemic liberation, and cultural trauma healing
Spooky, macabre, and an affinity for all things dark and strange, you might be craving a path that meets your need for depth, ancestral & ancient magic, and reconnection to the Earth, the seasons, and your wild, “four-footed” nature
You want your therapy to include leveled-up somatic healing & howling at the moon
Our clients are just like us; they’ve done a lot of inner healing. And while the healing has been helpful, it hasn’t scratched the primal itch. They’re looking for an approach that gets deep within the crevices, where somatic attachment pattern healing is intrinsically woven within systemic justice and a return to land, lineage, intuition, and magic. We would love to meet you in these deeper waters; schedule your free consultation here 🖤
TL;DR
Somatic, liberation-oriented, magic & sarcasm-friendly trauma therapy invested in the deepest roots of relationship pattern healing
“
The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run with the Wolves
Our philosophy of healing
-
In our work at Rose, Raven & Roar™, we’re invested in the deepest root cause of relationship pattern shift, from harm-based to reciprocal and life-giving.
In an ever-evolving effort to do this, we take a micro-macro approach. We believe that along with inner somatic and attachment patterns, we must equally participate in shifting macro relationship patterns (colonization, white supremacy, fundamentalism, purity culture, etc.).
We also fundamentally consider our disrupted attachment pattern with the Earth and with nature. Colonization has distorted our way of being in relationship, and this is reflected in how we relate to the land, shaped by disconnection, domination, and extraction rather than reciprocity. We believe that coming back into reciprocal relation with nature is critical to overal relationship repatterning.
We hold all of these lenses equally in our healing philosophy. Importantly, we hold it in the hand of one of our biggest values: non-perfection. Exiting the grips of complex trauma and power-over structures is messy, and we all have generations of conditioning. We’re gonna mess it up sometimes.
The only way to repattern is to mess up, and to stay in relationship at the same time (which is healing in itself!). To us, healing innately means that we’re expanding our capacity for differences, layers of complexity, relational mistakes, and the crucial process of rupture and repair. Survival-based relational patterns equal fear and exile. We think healing means remaining in care and connection when there’s messiness and disruption ❤️
-
Our clinical + therapeutic containers (individual and small groups) are held within Rose, Raven & Roar’s larger philosophy of healing (see above). As we support attachment pattern healing, we consider that they’re not only shaped by our primary caregivers, but also by friends, teachers, our community, wider political systems, our relationship with our ancestry and culture (or lack thereof), and our relationship with the land.
We utilize a blend of somatic methods, parts work, attachment work, art therapy, relationship skill-building, and nature-based methods to “talk” to your nervous system, letting it know that it might be safe now to create newer relationship patterns based in safety and reciprocity (cognitive approaches are helpful to a point, but other methods speak directly to the nervous system and attachment system).
Throughout the process, we hold the layers of marginalization and systemic oppression that have further shaped our clients’ attachment systems.
As our clients’ wish, we love integrating cultural, ancestral, and magical practices into our work together. We feel that reconnecting with lineage and land are great helpers in reshaping attachment patterns.

As a practice space and community of relationship pattern healing, we stand for liberation, autonomy, and being in reciprocal, power-with relationship with ALL beings.
We make every, ever-evolving effort within Rose, Raven & Roar™ to be anti-racist, anti-ableist, gender affirming, queer-allied, anti-purity culture, anti-fundamentalist, and vegan/cruelty-free. We strive to maintain a warm, welcoming, inclusive space for all bodies, sexual orientations, faith traditions, and cultural backgrounds.
We value and hold deep & wide space for complexity, nuance, differences, and the important relational process of rupture and repair, knowing that freeing ourselves from systems of oppression will not be clean or easy. In essence, we are anti-perfection and welcome mistakes.
This said, any type of abusive, bullying, or oppressive behavior will never be tolerated within any of our containers or spaces.
Please join us in doing everything possible to keep this practice space a safe, consensual, confidential, inclusive, power-with space for all.
Areas of Focus & Clinical Specialty

When you’re no stranger to feeling constantly off-balance, confused, isolated, hypervigilant, and always in the wrong in relationships.
Hi, this is Liz, founder of RR&R. For 13 years, I’ve specialized in helping folks navigate the many layers and faces of power-and-control relationships.
This can look like many things, just a few of which include:
learning about the intricate dynamics and tactics of abuse
discovering what a “regulated nervous system” looks like inside an abusive relationship vs. within other relationships
processing the unique nuances of healing while in an abusive system
rediscovering your own voice, self-trust, and sense of autonomy and choice
grappling with the question, “can they change?”
creating different relationship patterns moving forward (if you choose + are able to leave)
If you’re looking for more personalized, 1:1 help, feel free to schedule a free, 20-minute consultation here.
-
The layers and nuances of creating new relationship patterns are our jam. If your relationship patterns were shaped by complex trauma, repatterning can look like a lot of things, including:
Being able to set (and keep) boundaries
Creating new relationship patterns with your family of origin
Creating new patterns for your kids / breaking generational cycles
Being able to be present in relationships
Helping the nervous system understand that reciprocal and power-with relationships are safe
And the list could go on. Feel free to schedule a free, 20-minute consultation here if you’d like to chat further.
-
Along with other types of complex trauma, a large number of our clients have also faced oppression within religious culture. We support our clients with a number of areas, including:
Repairing complex trauma specifically within a systemic religious, spiritual, or spiritual group / cult context
Deconstructing old ideas and paradigms about spirituality
Sifting through the relationship between fundamentalist religion and other types of systemic oppression
Finding your unique spiritual path or truth

Founder & Licensed Psychotherapist: Elizabeth DeVaughn
Hi; I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a clinical psychotherapist, licensure supervisor, relationship + complex trauma specialist, and a survivor. I’m also in an interabled marriage, navigating neurodivergence, an HSP, cat-obsessed, a total liberationist (human + animal + planet liberation), an artist, and an avid hiker & crafter. Spooky, macabre, and deep-feeling to my core.
RR&R was born from my 13-year clinical practice helping folks navigate domestic violence & create more secure relationship patterns after a lifetime of complex trauma. More personally, I wanted to create a space that I always craved, one where the healing could go layers deeper than somatic skills and into my ancestral trauma. Also, a space where making mistakes & getting it wrong is valued (my poor, exhausted inner over-achiever), and where healing centers community… plus crafts, play, and all things spooky. Welcome in 🖤
