Welcome to my blog! I’ll be talking about trauma and many ways to approach treating it. I’ll spend the first few entries answering questions that I’ve received from people inquiring about how to handle various trauma-related situations.
The main reason for creating this blog is to spread the word to professionals and first responders who work with people who have experienced trauma that healing is possible.
A traumatic incident or series of traumas does not necessarily doom a person to a life of pain and suffering. Many people, including me, who have a history of trauma have been able to heal from the aftermath of that trauma. While we will never be the same as if we had not had these experiences, our lives can be rich and rewarding.
The Chinese character for the term “crisis” combines the notions of danger and opportunity.
When people have experienced trauma, they have been in a crisis and can be helped to find the opportunities for growth within the traumatic situations.
I hope that you will find this blog helpful and will leave comments as well as questions and concerns you would like to see addressed.
Hope Makes Healing Possible!
