"'Healing is possible.' I tell survivors
of trauma, 'You're here. You survived.
That means you're more powerful
than what happened to you.'
Victimization is a terrible thing.
Surviving and then healing has pain
as a part of it, but the trauma does
not need to run you and your life.
A holistic and somatic approach to
healing trauma allows for the
automatic survival reactions to
change and for you to get to choose
and design you life based on the
things that are important to you
and the people you love.

Healing trauma, rather than
avoiding or managing it, is
possible through this Somatic
approach. Many people try to
"understand" what happened
to them, or "put it behind them"
but to truly feel at home and
safe again, connected to yourself,
others and place, takes healing
the experience through your
psycho-biology. The body
remembers and will continue
to react from trauma, until this
is processed through the
body/mind/spirit.'"
