Life-changing Tools to Heal Trauma and Live in the Present
become the alchemist of your past
The impact of trauma can make us feel like we just got wind knocked out of us by a violent tornado uprooting us from shelter.
Picking ourselves back up and finding direction again can feel confusing.
Our inner landscapes may feel distorted.
Our thoughts may be messy and jumbled up.
We may feel emotionally stuck and immobile, unable to know what our next step is.
Our minds may repeat the trauma unconsciously or at random by a trigger in the environment.
The question we may most often ask ourselves is, “Why did this happen to me?”.
One night when I was thirteen I found myself asking that question to a sky full of stars.
“It wasn’t happening to me but for me” — a voice bellowed from deep inside me.
I don’t know what it was but that night changed the course of my life.
Through different therapies and healing techniques I have found a way to translate my trauma into life tools that help me navigate the muddy waters easier.
