Many present-day struggles have their origin in responses to traumatic experiences in the past. While these responses deserve great respect for having kept us alive (physically and/or emotionally), moving from surviving to thriving asks us to recognize that the past is not present.

We can gently lay those old trauma responses to rest and find new, healing ways of responding to the here and now.
