We all have experienced trauma
What might it look like? What if I don’t identify with “trauma?”
Whether the word “trauma” resonates with you or not, what’s important is not a PTSD diagnosis but a disruptive experience(s) of loss in your life. The power of this loss has affected your sense of self, meaning, purpose and/or your ability to connect and belong.
Whatever the loss, however long ago it was, and however significant you believe it was or is–you recognize it has not let you go.
Below are some of the life disruptions that my clients heal and grow from through our work together.
Relationship violence
From family, partner or other. The actions could have involved physical, emotional, sexual or verbal aggression.
Parent/Family Dysfunction
A persistent pattern of small “t” traumas even carried out by loving family members who failed to sufficiently affirm and support the younger, developing you.
Illness or Grief
For those needing to create an intentional and life-giving container to better hold the suddenness and absoluteness of life.
Moral Injury
The mental, emotional or spiritual distress that arises from events that violate your deeply held moral beliefs, whether you were a witness, survivor or doer.
Divorce/estrangement
From a partner or family system that can disrupt a sense of belonging or identity or worth.
Intergenerational Trauma
Refers to the passing of family wounds, secrets and/or behaviors from generation to generation that stymie growth and connection.
Effects of Shaming, bullying.
The residue of intentional acts that were intended to cause psychological/emotional damage to you remain stuck within you.
Spiritual Wounding
The disillusionment that can happen when one’s spiritual/religious beliefs or belonging is ruptured.
