The Weight You Carry

You’re the one everyone depends on, attuned, thoughtful, holding the pieces no one else knows how to hold.

But underneath that, something inside grows heavy. The silence thickens. Old grief and attachment pain move through your days, pulling at you even when life appears put together from the outside.

You move through the world aware of every shift in tone or energy, and sometimes that very skill becomes its own exhaustion.

You’re human, shaped by experiences that once required you to manage more than your share. The mind learns to over-function; the body keeps watch.

Therapy helps you learn another way of being. One that doesn’t cost you yourself.

I’m Rebecca Flores, a trauma and attachment therapist for women who live deeply, the thinkers, feelers, and creatives who long for change that feels real and unforced.

Together, we’ll trace how trauma, grief, and old attachment patterns have shaped your sense of safety and connection.

This work isn’t about managing or masking pain; it’s about discovering a natural pace that lets your body and mind work together again.

Why This Therapy Works

My approach blends EMDR, Brainspotting, and Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy, approaches that reach beneath words and help your nervous system process what’s been held too long.

I do my very best work with caring, perceptive, and sensitive women who often use humor, creativity, and intelligence of feeling as their way through the world.

This therapy is rooted in attachment repair, somatic awareness, human connection, and depth psychology, exploring meaning and emotion whether we meet in person or online across San Antonio.

Healing That Fits You

You’re wired to notice what others miss, the subtext in a sentence, the pause that changes everything.

I work with women who think and feel on a different frequency, sharp, intuitive, and often exhausted by how much they take in.

That sensitivity is both a gift and burden. It pulls you toward deep connection and at times, deep fatigue. If you’ve spent life absorbing it all, you deserve a place that finally understands how your system works.

If any of these sound familiar, you’ve found someone who gets it:

  • You notice every shift in mood, tone, or expression and take it on as yours to fix.

  • You replay conversations late at night, wondering if you said too much or not enough.

  • You give easily and completely but rarely feel replenished.

  • You long for closeness but struggle with trust, boundaries, and safety, your body unsure whether to lean in or protect.

  • You link your worth to achievement, high standards, and productivity, no matter the pressure beneath.

  • You feel waves of loss rise to the surface without warning, leaving you raw and disoriented.

  • You carry the imprint of old trauma and anxiety, old wounds and attachment patterns that still leave fingerprints on the present.

It’s not that you’re too much, it’s that you learned to stay connected by staying attuned.

Your nervous system still follows the old choreography: anticipate, appease, manage, repeat. Therapy helps you re-pattern what connection feels like, where closeness can exist without collapse.

Here, your sensitivity is welcomed. Therapy becomes a place to rest the constant vigilance, explore what love and safety can mean now, and reconnect you with rest, vitality, and a stronger sense of self.

Your depth is a gift, not a glitch.

You’ve learned how to hold so much: others’ emotions, your own past, the pressure to always show up strong.

Through this work, you’ll begin to feel less consumed by what you carry, more at peace in who you are, and able to meet life with calm and confidence again, without carrying the old weight.

Counseling for Overthinking, Over-giving, and Over-functioning

Anxiety, people pleasing, and perfectionism often trace back to early attachment pain, patterns that once helped you stay connected but now keep you overextended. These responses aren’t random; they’re your nervous system’s way of asking for rest, protection, and genuine connection.

You absorb the energy around you and feel it in your bones. Therapy helps you see these traits as signals of depth and intuition, while learning to stay grounded when everything feels too charged.

You care deeply but lose yourself in the caretaking. Together, we’ll rebuild the capacity to say no without the surge of guilt that follows.

You long for closeness yet feel uneasy when it arrives. We’ll explore what safety can look like now, in relationships that don’t demand self-abandonment. Therapy helps you get to the root of the fear and practice new ways of connecting that feel safe and natural.

You sense how old experiences still steer your reactions. Whether it’s childhood trauma, sexual trauma, medical trauma, religious or spiritual pain, birth and labor trauma, emotional neglect, grief, or attachment trauma. Therapy helps you work through what’s been held inside too long so you can find your footing again.

What Counseling with Me Feels Like

My approach is deeply human, relational, and responsive to what unfolds between us. It’s not scripted or distant; it’s a real process built on genuine connection. You don’t have to mask or shrink here.

We’ll pay attention to what your story keeps circling, what your nervous system is ready to release, the story your body remembers, the pauses that reveal truth, and the patterns that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck.

There’s room for humor, because sometimes laughter arrives right when truth lands. We’ll do the deeper work, but therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical.

Curiosity will be our compass. We’ll stay with what matters rather than replaying the same cycles.

Therapy here isn’t about quick fixes or a magical cure; it’s about creating enough safety and understanding that your system begins to reorganize itself.

The Roots Behind The Work

This work draws from approaches that bridge awareness and lived change, so insight becomes something you can actually feel shifting:

➳ Attachment Theory - Repairing early relational wounds & learning what safety and connection can feel like now.

➳ Existential Theory - Exploring meaning, purpose, what truly matters in your life, and the parts of you that have gone quiet.

➳ Mind-Body Integration - Letting the body join the healing exploration instead of being the battlefield.

➳ Neuroplasticity - Your brain and nervous system can form new pathways that support calm and connection.

➳ Psychodynamic Theory - Seeing how old emotional patterns shape how you love, create, and move through life today.

Meet Your Therapist, Rebecca Flores, LPC

Hi, I’m Rebecca, a trauma and attachment therapist drawn to helping women who feel deeply and analyze life in intricate ways.

My work centers on attachment-based trauma therapy that engages both mind and body, integrating EMDR, Brainspotting, and Hypnotherapy within a relational, grounded framework.

As someone who feels and thinks deeply myself, I understand what it’s like to move through the world with that kind of awareness. I bring humor, heart, strength, and honest reflection because healing happens through real connection.

You don’t have to trim your emotions to fit here. We’ll work with the complexity of what you’re carrying until it feels less like a tangle and more like a clear pattern, a map you can move within.

MORE ABOUT ME + MY APPROACH

Therapies I Use:

  • Integrating present awareness with exploration of early relationships, unconscious patterns, and symbolic meaning.

    We’ll connect past and present through a relational lens that helps you understand yourself more fully and live with greater freedom.

  • Exploring the impact of early bonds, tending to old pain in relationships, and practicing new ways of feeling secure and connected with others.

  • Engaging life’s deeper questions with curiosity and courage, making sense of suffering, loss, purpose, and change while opening to a more authentic and meaningful life.

  • Working with you as a whole person, at the intersection of your relationships, body, mind, and nervous system, while supporting your choices around medical or psychiatric care.

  • Reprocessing and integrating painful and difficult experiences to lessen their emotional charge, release what’s held in the body, and restore a sense of internal balance.

  • Accessing deeper layers of healing through focused attention and guided imagery to shift patterns rooted in past experiences.

  • Getting to know the different parts of you, the ones that protect, perform, or carry pain, so they can feel seen, supported, and better integrated.

  • Supporting your body and nervous system in moving from protection and overactivation toward calm, connection, and presence.

  • Using eye position to locate and process difficult emotional material that’s been held in the body, helping integration unfold in a natural way.

Therapy with an attachment-based focus goes deeper than surface-level fixes.

Attachment-based therapy looks beneath symptoms to what your system has been trying to protect.

It’s not about coping harder, it’s about helping your body and emotions learn a different experience of safety.

In this work, you may begin to notice:

  • Feeling connected to yourself and the people who matter most.

  • Setting boundaries that protect your energy, without guilt.

  • The past quieting down enough for your own voice to speak more freely.

  • Finding moments of calm where the waves don’t feel as overwhelming.

  • Releasing old drive to prove, please, or perform.

  • Reconnecting with rest, perspective, and confidence that feel natural.

When therapy reaches this depth, the work doesn’t just stay in the therapy space. It starts to weave through your days, in how you speak to yourself, how you pause before reacting, how you allow comfort and connection again.

It’s not about becoming someone new, but about returning to who you’ve always been underneath the hurting and the protecting.

This is therapy that accepts who you are, as you are.

FAQ: Trauma & Attachment Therapy

What You Might Be Wondering

Finding the right therapist who understands the way you think and feel can take time. You deserve to feel informed and at ease, and supported in ways that reach the roots of what’s been weighing you down.

Below are a few answers to help you get a sense of whether we might be a good fit.

  • It’s a relational therapy where healing happens through a trusting connection with me as your therapist.

    Together, we’ll explore how early relationships shaped your patterns and work through old wounds. The goal is to build safety, calm your nervous system, and help you create more secure connections, with yourself and others.

  • Attachment trauma comes from experiences that shake your sense of safety and connection as a child, like emotional neglect, inconsistent or unavailable parents or caregivers, abandonment, loss, or living with parents or caregivers who were emotionally distant, critical, or unpredictable.

    These early wounds can still influence how you relate to yourself and others today.

  • It can make trust feel tricky or fragile, boundaries hard to set, and safety tough to find. You might notice patterns like people pleasing, avoidance, or anxiety popping up in your closest connections.

    Therapy helps you understand these patterns and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

  • If you’re a deep thinker, creative soul, or emotionally intelligent person carrying trauma, anxiety, or attachment wounds - especially if people pleasing or boundary setting struggles wear you down - this therapy can support you in feeling steadier and more yourself.

  • Unlike therapies that mainly tackle symptoms, attachment-focused therapy dives into your relational patterns and early attachment experiences.

    It blends emotional exploration with somatic and nervous system tools to help you feel more at ease and connected with yourself, in your body, and in your relationships.

  • Yes! I offer online therapy across Texas and online and in-person sessions in San Antonio, Texas.

  • Therapy will only take as long as the goals you’ve decided for yourself need.

    Many clients notice meaningful shifts within a few months, but we move at your pace, honoring your readiness and needs.

  • It’s natural to feel nervous. While my clients are ready to do the deeper trauma work, therapy unfolds at a pace that feels best and most manageable for you.

    We’ll build trust and move forward with compassion and care, always being mindful of your boundaries as we work toward healing.
