What is Trauma?
Trauma is caused by a severe experience that exceeds one's ability to cope or put together the numerous emotions one is feeling at that given moment. Traumatic experiences can also be seen as a chronic stressor that attacks our nerves system causing all kinds of chaos on the body, brain, and mind.
Not coming to terms with these overwhelming experiences, causes unnecessary suffering due to the open emotional wounds trauma leaves behind, which can live inside of us for years … These wounds can cause all types of conflict with loved ones such as our children, family, significant others, and other areas of our life. Unresolved trauma has caused many to fall into the darkness of addictions, the maltreatment of children, and so much more. Unresolved trauma can eventually manifest itself into depression, anxiety, and other serious mental and physical health issues.
Like a rainbow, healing is possible and needed to rise above the trauma with the goal to create the reality we desire. Healing allows us the opportunity to learn how to values ourselves, develop standards that match our behaviors, take responsibility for our errors, it inspires us to embrace resiliency and ignite the power within.
