We are often seen as 'the problem' because, "well you did something that activated me and I went into my conditioned survival response, which was to get in your face, buy a bus ticket, shut down, or melt into a people-pleasing mush" (fight, flight, freeze, appease).

The truth is that we were hurt by someone or something and our brain and body learned to protect us. All very sensible adaptations, but if you don't know the history, you might think we are 'crazy' or broken. You might not see the trauma behind our substance abuse, self-harm, destructive relationship patterns, health problems, or carefully curated image that fools the world while we break apart inside.

It is full of knowledge that will help you understand why we do the things we do and what we can do to reverse some of those changes that have happened in our body and in the way we see the world. We are trauma specialists and survivors sharing knowledge, skills, and inspiration to empower survivors.

This is not therapy. It is knowledge for survivors so that we may step into power and control over our own lives and recovery. This training, containing as it does all the latest science, is also irradiated with survivor wisdom. Including yours. No one knows what works for you but you.

Believe in you!
