Embark on a journey full of healing as you transform the mind, body and soul.

“After all, when a stone is dropped into a pond, the water continues quivering even after the stone has sunk to the bottom.”

~ Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

Trauma is like an internal straitjacket created when a devastating moment is frozen in time. It stifles the unfolding of being, and prevents our attempts to move forward with our lives. It disconnects us from ourselves, others, nature and spirit. When overwhelmed by threat, we are frozen in fear, as though our instinctive survival energies were ‘all dressed up with no place to go.

Trauma can occur in different ways, such as motor vehicle accidents, physical abuse, sexual abuse, severe neglect and abandonment, loss or even natural disasters; the list is endless. What is common about all these types of trauma is the fact that they have a profound impact on our lives, often shaping the way we view the world.

In such cases, healing trauma therapy is extremely important in helping us to move through some of these traumatic events. To discover and experience new ways of being. Trauma therapy will not be able to change what happened to you in the past, but it can change the way you live with it today. It can help you to relax, trust and feel safe again.

To really work with trauma, we need to investigate the deeper causes. A therapist will look at the root cause and guide the individual to not only regain their ability to feel safe and relax again, but also how to self-regulate.  It takes someone very experienced, loving, caring and trustworthy to actually understand the impact that the trauma has inflicted. Seeking help with a good therapist is vital step towards your trauma healing.
