Family trauma cycles and how to break them

+ exclusive access to the recording of my live event

This may be a bit controversial and perhaps I’ll illicit a couple of disgruntled emails and you know what? I’m okay with that.

I believe that healing can be a choice.

When we think about mental health and recovery, having agency and choice is key.

There is much outside of our control.

Just turn on the news.

(okay, maybe don’t)

What we can control today is our actions toward—or away from—what is healthy and helps us thrive.

For too long, I stayed stuck in undiagnosed mental health challenges and active trauma symptoms. I’ve also lived the consequences of trauma in my family tree.

I’m passionate about guiding others through these challenges because I’ve experienced healing and freedom firsthand. I’ve also learned and am learning from so many of you that healing and recovery are possible.

I love the way

shares about the 5 F’s of trauma:

• When we think of fight, we think about fighting against - but what would you fight for?

• When we think of flight we may think of fleeing from - but what would you like to retreat to?

• When we think of freeze we may think of being stuck, trapped, locked - but where would you like to be still?

• When we think of fawn we may think of servitude and people pleasing - but how would you like to be of service through your strengths?

• When we think of flop we may think of collapse and implosion - but what would you like to fold into?

Just imagine all of the ways that our past traumas or hurts impact our today…AND the freeing thought that we can take action and make choices that break the chains of our past traumas and trauma responses.
