#7 Transforming Trauma

Trauma happens when an incoming experience is too much to handle and the psyche is unable to integrate the event in a manageable way. It’s like a part of us just can’t process what is happening and there is a disconnection, a shattering or splintering of the self in an attempt to manage reality and not go crazy. Every aspect of our life energy is a valuable part of a larger whole. The psyche always seeks balance and wholeness. The Inner Journey To Transform Trauma focuses on rescuing, retrieving and reintegrating valuable parts of the self that were lost or disconnected as the result of trauma. We already lived through the traumatic experience once. There is no value in living through it again. In fact, one way to understand trauma, is that a part of us is actually stuck in the psychological time of the distressing event. Our work is to bring the parts of ourself out of the traumatic experience and into present time, where they can heal, recover and receive what they need from our guides and teachers and our own highest self.
