I believe that secure and safe connection is an agent of healing. We are all created with deep needs and desires for connection, intimacy, vulnerability, and safety. When any of those essential components of the human experience are broken or entangled with trauma, it can cause dysfunction in our systems and remove health and thriving from our lives. However, it is possible to redeem, restore, and recapture our minds, hearts, and bodies and reclaim health. When clients are able to process their hardest hurts and wounds within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, healing can happen!
