PTSD & Trauma

​

I want to tread lightly here.

​

​

Somehow, we've been led to believe that trauma only happens when it's associated with the military and/or war. And indeed, it does.

​

But that's not the only time or way trauma occurs.

​

At it's most basic level, trauma presents itself when you experience something distressing and overwhelming, and your nervous system becomes overwhelmed. It's not you, it's your nervous system. When this occurs some parts may heal, and some parts become stuck in your mind and body.

​

In the aftermath, the experiences show up whenever it wants, however it wants.

​

You don't have to be in the military to experience distress and be in a war.

​

Many women struggle in the silent war within, from a multitude of experiences.   

​

 It is possible for you to experience peace.

​

Together, we can strategize so you can overcome the war - in your mind; in your body; in your soul.
