Do you long to experience the goodness in life and relationships and finding ways to reclaim and embrace your body, relationships and sexuality without shame or pain or guilt or having to worry about unwanted memories or thoughts?

Trauma can be caused by any experience that seriously overwhelms our ability to cope and affects our sense of being safe. Each person is unique and no two people will react in exactly the same way. Trauma is essentially about loss of connection - to ourselves, our bodies, to others and to the world around us. We don't feel right! and our confidence, sense of wellbeing and relationships are often affected.

Sexual abuse is about the violation of the deepest parts of ourselves and often results in feelings of guilt and shame; difficulties in forming lasting relationships; a sense of feeling alone as well as overwhelming emotions such as rage, fear, depression, feeling suicidal and low self-worth.  Please know that you are not alone in your experience and that you have done your very, very best to get through. 

Experiences of trauma are stored in the body and are often “remembered” as emotions, body sensations in the body, images or memories. These are often called "flashbacks" and can be a challenge to live with as they can be "triggered"long after the trauma ended and flood us with all sorts of unpleasant emotions and sensations making life & relationships challenging.

The hopeful news is that there are now several very effective and helpful ways of healing trauma that do not include having to talk about what happened.​ In fact this is not at all necessary!
