Christina Manolatos, LPC, MSc
Trauma therapy and Hypnotherapy
for parents with complex PTSD
Trauma Therapy & Hypnotherapy in Wisconsin
Helping parents and caregivers across Wisconsin heal from childhood trauma, complex PTSD, and emotional patterns that show up in parenting, relationships, and everyday life.
If you find yourself reacting in ways you don’t want to with your child or those in your care… or carrying a constant sense of guilt, self-criticism, or emotional overwhe, there is often a deeper story underneath that isn’t about effort or willpower.
Christina works with adults who want to break generational patterns, calm their nervous system, and respond differently than what they grew up with; without shame or self-blame.
Online trauma therapy and hypnotherapy available throughout Wisconsin.
You might be here because…
Something inside you feels like it’s always “on”—even when nothing is wrong.
You may notice yourself:
- reacting strongly and then feeling guilty afterward
- trying very hard to be a calm, patient parent or caregiver, but not always managing it
- carrying a harsh inner voice that never feels satisfied with you
- feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem bigger than the situation
- wondering why certain moments with your child or others in your care feel so activating
Often, these responses aren’t random—they can be connected to earlier experiences where your emotions, needs, or safety weren’t fully supported.
These are patterns that made sense at some point.
They just may not be serving you anymore
“You can’t pass down what you begin to understand and heal”
A lot of these reactions come from your nervous system — not from a lack of effort or awareness.
When something feels intense (crying, whining, resistance), your body can go into survival responses like:
fight (irritation, yelling)
flight (needing to get away)
freeze (shutting down)
fawn (over-giving, losing your boundaries)
This can happen quickly, and often before you’ve had time to think.
That’s why just “trying to stay calm” doesn’t always work.
