Healing is Possible, Thriving is Possible
New Diagnostic Dimension to Healing Trauma
We become stuck when our mind, body or spirit is still living life from the past. This is common when we have unprocessed trauma that was never healed, whether daily trauma or severe trauma. The first step is to identify which trauma type is dominant in your life. The second step is to identify the severity level of your experience of trauma. Once you know your trauma-type and/or severity, there are next steps to take for healilng.
Phases of Healing
Based on your trauma-type and severity there are different phases of healing. There are certain self-exercises to help you heal, as well as different mental health approaches that could benefit your healing. There are always pathways forward no matter what you have already tried. Facing our suffering and stuck feelings are essential to heal and grow. There are always ways to continue to heal beyond basic survival living.
Thriving is Possible
Thriving is possible, always. When we identify and heal our survival strategies breakthroughs can happen. Maladaptive (not helpful) patterns and behaviors are often what bring us to seek healing. It is surprising to learn that it is sometimes our adaptive and positive behaviors and patterns that are born out of avoiding core wounds that keep us from thriving. Healing our 'override' in our identity is how we thrive.
Different Paths to Healing
Heal Trauma Mind
Heal Trauma Spirit
Heal Trauma Mind
Healing Trauma-Mind is possible by working with your attachment to the trauma or negative events in your life and the narrative or stories you created about it and yourself. This narrative, reactions and meaning may have become part of your identity. Healing this narrative helps it not pervade every aspect of your life anymore. www.thetraumamind.com
Heal Trauma Body
Heal Trauma Spirit
Heal Trauma Mind
Healing Trauma-Body is possible by understanding the different ways your nervous system responds to perceived threat, stress or possibly still responding to past trauma. You can find help with discharging and digesting the experience so your body stops responding with fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses and can feel a sense of safety again.
Heal Trauma Spirit
Heal Trauma Spirit
Heal Trauma Spirit
Healing Trauma-Spirit is possible when we receive support integrating the shock we experienced to our beliefs, and find a sense of meaning and purpose in ourselves or in the world again. Trauma-Spirit can be from a significant tragedy or even less apparent when it is an occasional feeling of being young. This feeling can always be healed.

Experiencing complex trauma can feel like all of the signs in this image happening at the same time. Sometimes this is called a dysregulated nervous system or the feeling of always wanting to fight and flee at the same time. It is important to work with a trauma specialist to help you manage your symptoms and start find your path to self agency again.

Ready to Change your Identity?
My therapeutic approach is integrative, Have you created a survival strategy that has become adaptive to your life and even part of who you are that may be from your trauma? What would happen if you let go of that identity even if it has been seemingly positive for you? Sometimes we have to let go of old strategies that keep our trauma unprocessed in order to thrive.
