How To Heal & Overcome Childhood Trauma

“Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.”

- American Psychological Association

Only you can choose how you view a situation, and how you react or let it affect you.

Granted, often this is easier said than done. 

For example, let’s say it rains. While someone may be distraught that the rain ruined their wedding, a farmer may be rejoicing that it watered his crops. 

The rain itself is not good or bad; it’s subjective. Someone’s perception of it and the way they choose to feel about it can make it a positive, negative, or neutral experience for that person. 

 It is not something subjectively positive. It’s not ok, and it’s not something anyone should tolerate. 

We’re here to help you find peace so you can overcome the trauma, disassociate from the identity of a victim, and rewrite your story in a way that helps you find empowerment. 

Whatever stress, anger, resentment, shame, or guilt you feel becomes a part of you. It causes your body to carry that tension and toxicity that will wear you out and eventually break you down. This can lead to both mental and physical discomfort, degeneration, and disease.

If you’ve ever felt unexplainable anxiety, anger, aggression, frustration, or even fear and anguish - your subconscious may be reacting to an unhealed trauma. These “triggers” are warning signs that there’s something bothering us and making us feel out of control. 

Instead of ignoring, deflecting (i.e. substance abuse or intentional distractions), or allowing the trigger to overcome you, consider evaluating that trigger. 

• How does it start? 
• What are the warning signs? 
• How does it make you feel physically and mentally? 
• What does it make you want to do? 
• How do you breathe? 
• How do you react?
• How do others react?
• How do you feel afterwards?

Allowing yourself to assess these “clues” can help you understand what’s causing you to feel out of control, and what you need in order to resolve that trauma. 

In a world where most people choose to ignore the cries for help of the children whose voice and innocence has been stolen, let us be the strength they need.  

Choose to be the victor of your story and a protector of the innocent.

Choose not to need anyone or anything around you to change in order for you to find the peace and closure you deserve. 

Choose to redesign your life as the happy, peaceful, strong person that you are.  

Choose to overcome. 

The children need you to be their voice!
