Trauma Bond Recovery
Yes, this is Cellular Memory
Healing is not linear and does not acknowledge time. We all have a story but have you ever wondered if there is a better way? Not just making it through but truly living life. Be encouraged! We can certainly have days ahead that unfold with a sense of safety and purpose.
Recent statistics show OVER 70% of the population have experienced physical and/or emotional trauma; more than likely this number is higher, as many do not report traumatic events. Millions in the USA alone experience PTST, and sadly 27-30% attempt suicide. There is a growing crisis of trauma in our lives. All types of trauma can contribute to depression, chronic pain, insomnia, fatigue, PTSD, and many other mental, physical, and cognitive oppressions. These affect our daily lives and overall well-being.
At times we all need extra support to cope with life’s heavy load. Some days it may seem the effort is too great to keep up with daily activities. Life just hurts-
Journey Wellness continues to provide a confidential and compassionate opportunity to establish a trusted relationship offering a safe place to finally heal.
Trauma cannot be measured and is very personal. It is what we each perceive as too much to carry in our emotions. Our safety mechanisms rise up to protect us and help us even survive through critical life events. When these feelings and emotions are buried, they can lie dormant for years. More often than not, there is a trigger at some point that brings them to the surface. Do you remember ever trying to hold an inflated ball under water? What happens? Eventually, there is so much pressure it will pop out of the water with great force. This is how we can understand symptoms that arise from trauma, stress, and constant fight/flight stimuli.
I understand this area well, because I live it. My Personal experience: Most of my years in holistic wellness were helping others with physical pain and limitations as I worked through my own. I found that bodywork, nutrition, and energy modalities were certainly helpful, but, what I discovered early on was an underlying emotional component to chronic conditions. Decades ago, I began studying psychoneuroimmunology (now referred to as Brain Neuroscience) and understanding my own trauma and auto-immune disorders. I now use my personal experience to bring understanding, compassion, and insight to help each of my clients. When they realize I have been in a similar place, it helps them to not feel so alone. Loneliness and isolation is one of the first obstacles to overcome on this journey. You are not alone my friend! Many have gone before you and their stories will help you realize you can be on your way to joyful living. I devote a lot of my time to continued study in trauma bond healing. It seems to be more prevalent in our current era. I have found personally, when you are free in these areas, other ailments seem to dissipate, or at minimum, need less attention.
Individual and support groups are highly effective in reconnecting with a sense of safety, clarity, and hope.
You are invited to step into a new day…
