It is time to learn how to PROCESS TRAUMA as you are going through it.
Gone are the days of lying on a therapist's couch, slowing working through our feelings.
We do not have the luxury of time anymore.
The world is speeding up, and so is our need to process trauma as we are going through it. That is what the COVID-19 pandemic taught all of us, and is what a disaster or unexpected event or challenge will show you, too.
Living through the apocalypse that was created in the wake of Hurricane Helene, and serving as trauma chaplain for my community during that time changed my life. I realized that all of the training and experience I have had personally and professionally in trauma and recovery needs to be my sole focus moving forward.
I know that it is possible to avoid suffering the long-term effects of trauma.
It is possible to not just get through life but to actually thrive in it.
Let me show you how to ACCELERATE your healing and recovery.
Allow me to teach you how to become RESILIENT in the face of any unexpected event or challenge.
