I have survived a very diverse exposure to abuse and trauma. In childhood I experienced multiple forms of parental abuse, sibling abuse, SA, CSA, Physical, Mental/Psychological and Emotional abuse. I experienced bullying on many degrees of severity from teasing to physical assault to harassment and death threats. When I was a teenager, I was in a car accident which resulted in a serious back injury leading to lifelong chronic pain and physical limitations. As an adult, I experienced more Physical, Emotional, and Mental/Psychological trauma and abuse within romantic DV situations, as well as friendships. The list goes on… I found myself in a cycle of surviving one form of abuse after another. I developed habits of lashing out, having unhealthy coping mechanisms, and toxic behaviors myself. I was unsure how to stop going around and around. After I survived, I had an internal narrative that told me the abuse had broken me, and I’d never live, I’d always carry the scars. That I’d never trust myself again, let alone the universe or a higher power. I thought I’d never be happy and thrive cause I just didn’t know how to. I researched abuse and trauma for years, I went to therapy for years, I utilized every DV/abuse resource I could find. I was expanding my knowledge on spiritual and personal wellbeing. I spent years hand-digging a path I had never seen anyone walk before: combining spirituality/mindfulness, therapy techniques, trauma coping skills, abuse survival skills, educating myself on abuse tactics, Somatic exercises, nervous system regulation, play/dance therapy practices, and so many other things until I eventually found a system that worked for me, and along the way I learned many other paths that would be beneficial to others. I found a way to prove that defeatist internal narrative wrong, and I’d be honored to teach you how you can do it too.
