When Parenting Triggers Childhood Trauma and
Old Wounds Resurface in Motherhood
These patterns don’t define you—they can be understood, worked through, and changed.
If Any of This Feel Familiar, You're Not Alone
-
You find yourself snapping at your kids more often you'd like to admit, then immediately sinking into guilt and questioning whether you’re ability to be the kind of mom you want to be
-
You have moments where a deep, familiar voice tells you you’re not good enough—and no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough.
-
Even on good days, there’s an underlying feeling that you don’t fully deserve this life, this family, or this version of happiness.
-
When something goes wrong, it quickly turns into self-blame, reinforcing a long-standing belief that you’re the problem.
Trauma Therapy for Women
in Bolingbrook, IL can help you...
→ Pause before reacting and take a breath when breakfast spills or toys are left out—
then calmly guide your child, feeling more in control and less guilt afterward.
→ Allow yourself to enjoy it even the small moments of quiet play more fully, letting presence and
gratitude replace the “I don’t deserve this” voice.
→ Respond with understanding instead of blame when bedtime is not going how you like,
and notice a sense of relief and confidence in your parenting choices.
→ Feel in control even when schedules get hectic, knowing you can handle the day
without being consumed by stress.

Carly Murillo, LCSW
Bolingbrook, IL
Hi, I’m Carly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I help women who feel like they’ve lost themselves in the midst of motherhood find their way back to who they are.
If you’re noticing old wounds coming up in your parenting—reacting more intensely than you’d like, feeling guilt or shame after, or struggling to stay present with your kids—you’re not alone. When your child’s needs, behaviors, or emotions activate something deeper in you, it can feel confusing and heavy to carry on your own. This space is for you.
As a wife and working mom of two, I understand firsthand how heavy this season can feel—especially when your own past starts showing up in ways you didn’t expect. As a trained trauma professional, I have extensive training in helping women make sense of how their past experiences shape their present, so they can begin to move forward with more clarity, control, and self-trust.
You deserve a space where you can speak honestly about what’s really coming up—your triggers, your needs, and the parts of your story that still feel unresolved. This is your time to finally understand yourself on a deeper level—and start responding in ways that feel more aligned with who you want to be.
