FROM TOXIC TO RECIPROCAL RELATIONSHIP PATTERNS

Somatic Psychotherapy

Complex trauma healing for spooky, pissed off survivors & cycle-breakers

Somatic Therapy Nashville

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

Somatic Therapy Nashville

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.”

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 🖤
