Trauma
Are you tired of dealing with feelings of fear and dread? Are you constantly inundated with feelings of helplessness, a lack of purpose or a sense of powerlessness? Or are you exhausted of being the punching bag of the family or feeling like the victim? Either way have you been walking around for years thinking that you can handle your stress and now cannot? If this is your experience you are in the right place to begin a new path of freedom.
If you have a history of severe trauma, then you may have extremely traumatized parts who tend to communicate with symptoms, rather than words. Traumatized parts tend to manifest themselves as panic attacks, cycles of depression and anxiety, chronic pain or chronic illness, flashbacks, chronic numbness or trouble remembering your childhood.
​
Trauma can manifest itself in many forms. For example, witnessing horrific atrocities as a first responder, a military veteran, or in a combative family zone. Additionally, caregivers who were severely addicted, mentally ill, neglectful or abusive cause harm to their children by creating insecure attachment bonds. If there was chaos or violence in ones home growing up it could have felt more like a war zone and therefore depleting all sense of goodness and security from a child's heart. Furthermore, if caregivers were harshly punishing, abusive or sadistic that harmful behavior reeks havoc on a child's psychological world and will continue to manifest undue harm and distress into adulthood.
