Header - Individual in the Woods - Who You Are

You are a trauma survivor… you are a human who is experiencing an overwhelming event(s) that may cause overwhelming emotional, psychological, spiritual and physical distress.

Some of these events can include tragic sudden loss, displacement, neglect, near fatal accidents, combat and violence, multiple abuse scenarios, terrorism, intergenerational poverty and intergenerational enslavement.

All of these events include one… if not all of the following: restraint, seclusion, isolation and coercion. And… usually… All your perpetrator requires is silence.

You are a human with complex emotions and courage enough to navigate your life… end the silence, regain your voice and identity… no matter what.

You are a trauma survivor who may need others… like yourself… to talk to… or walk with… or dance with or to sit with in silence.

You may be a member of a trauma survivor neighborhood or community experiencing collective overwhelming events and you may need to heal the community trauma together in circle… recalling ancient traditions of many human tribes over the millennia.
