Have you ever felt like a pinball in a pinball machine that was launched into the world at high speed and is ricocheting from one thing to another with no ability to stop or get out of the ‘game’? This image describes of the effects of trauma in my life. Trauma can rob us of the ability to feel safe with others and to enjoy intimacy (feeling safe to share one’s deepest thoughts and feelings) in our relationships. Life becomes chaotic & out of control, it is hard to set and keep realistic goals even though one is trying hard to change. Shame grows & it is hard to hope.
I’m a trauma survivor who's fascinated by the way trauma effects people, and most importantly, the ways in which it can be healed. Did you know that trauma is a brain issue? It is not a character defect or something that happens just to weak or frail individuals. It's also not a life sentence. There are many ways to treat trauma today and put it behind you.
I am a wife of 43 years, a mother & grandma whose trauma was repressed/denied for 45 years but I still experienced symptoms as the trauma tried to work itself out. I secretly thought I was crazy and I was scared that people could tell. I credit my faith and God’s tender loving care for the healing I have received, and it's a joy to help others heal too.
