What is Trauma?

Trauma isn’t just what happens to us, it’s what happens inside us when our system can’t fully process an experience. It’s the way we adapt and respond when we don’t have support, pushing the emotions down and locking them away. If we don’t have someone to process it with or provide empathy, the trauma gets stuck and stored in our bodies. Over time, this energy stays with us until we’re ready to release it.

Everyone experiences trauma, big or small, and it can prevent us from growing. Trauma is like cancer for the mind—it eats away at us psychologically and eventually affects our body. It’s important to address trauma now, before it manifests as physical illness or disease. Repressing emotions can weaken the immune and nervous systems, creating long-term health problems. Self-care is essential to heal and become whole again.

In this work, we tap into the subconscious mind, which controls most of our daily lives. It holds our beliefs, memories, emotions, habits, and behaviors. Our subconscious is like a computer program or phone app—it runs constantly and shapes much of our experience.
