I help people heal from
Betrayal, co-dependency, break-ups, and intimacy struggles through body-based coaching.
If you’re exhausted from trying to talk your way out of pain, stuck repeating patterns you understand but can’t break, or reeling from infidelity or a break-up – this work is for you.
Relationship Patterns are Old Survival Imprints
You might notice yourself shutting down or over-functioning despite wanting closeness.
These aren’t personality flaws.
They’re nervous system responses.
This work brings awareness to the nervous system, where these patterns live.
It isn’t traditional talk therapy.
We don’t TALK our way out of fight, flight or freeze.
We slow down to listen to what’s happening in the body.
We honor the protective responses by allowing them to complete.
Rather than trying to understand why your partner triggered you, we notice what happened inside you first.
We listen:
Did your chest tighten? Did you feel an urge to flee?
These responses hold information.
We give space for the protective pattern to show itself, so that we can begin to make a different choice.
This work is for you if:
- You’re stuck in a push and pull cycle
- One of you has had an affair
- Your erotic life is flat
- You’re reeling from a break-up
- You want to finally break free from fawning, people-pleasing, and carrying the load.
I work with individuals (women and men) and couples around these areas:
betrayal trauma
Betrayal can make you question what was real, and blame yourself when it wasn’t your fault.
I help you slow the spiral, understand the impact on your nervous system, and regain clarity—without pressure to stay, leave, forgive, or decide before you’re ready.
co-dependency
When your safety depends on someone else’s mood, availability, or approval, your system stays on high alert.
This work supports you in unwinding the survival strategies that once kept you connected — but now leave you depleted, resentful, or invisible.
break-ups
Some endings don’t end cleanly.
You may feel pulled back into contact, fantasy, or longing — or completely shut down and numb.
We work with the attachment injury underneath the pain so the relationship can release its grip and your energy can return to you.
sexuality
Sexual patterns often reflect early attachment and protection strategies.
We approach intimacy without pathologizing — helping you understand where presence, charge, or avoidance shows up in your body, and how to reconnect with desire without overriding yourself.
These Patterns Can…
Feel like:
- Reacting in ways that don’t match who you are – and feeling powerless to stop
- Panicking or shutting down when your partner pulls away
Look like:
- Giving more than you have, managing the relationship, or losing yourself trying to keep things stable
- Feeling sexually disconnected; sex feels like a chore or disappears altogether
- Discovering an affair – or several, that shatters everything you thought was real
About Brigitte
I help people find their way back to themselves when relationships have become sources of confusion, exhaustion, or pain.
Most people come to me when talking hasn't worked.
They've read the books and listened to the podcasts.
They've apologized, fought, withdrawn, and nothing has changed.
The patterns live deeper than words.
We listen to what's happening in your nervous system.
We honor the protective responses.
I work with individuals and couples through betrayal trauma, codependency, break-ups, attachment wounds, and sexuality.
I draw on attachment theory, Somatic Experiencing, the Gottmans, Ellyn Bader and many more.
This is depth work that takes time--and begins the journey to grow in relationship.
