Trauma is not the event that happened to us.

Trauma is not the event that happened to us.

Trauma and emotional wounds are experiences that leave a lasting imprint on the mind and body.


Trauma can arise from events that overwhelm our ability to cope, such as abuse, neglect, loss, or even subtle, repeated instances of feeling unseen or unvalued.


Emotional wounds are the internal scars left behind, often rooted in feelings of fear, shame, or helplessness.

These wounds can shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world, influencing our beliefs, behaviors, and relationships.

For example, someone with unprocessed trauma might develop patterns of self-doubt, avoidance, or difficulty trusting others. They may experience heightened emotional reactions, physical symptoms like tension or fatigue, or a sense of disconnection from themselves and others.

Understanding trauma means recognizing its deep impact, but also realizing that healing is possible.

With the right tools, like mindfulness and compassionate inquiry as a therapeutic approach, we can gently uncover these wounds, release the pain we carry, and rebuild a sense of safety, wholeness, and hope.

Healing is not about “fixing” ourselves, it’s about remembering who we were before the pain, reconnecting with our aliveness, and creating safe spaces where we are fully seen, heard, and valued.

If this speaks to you, know that you’re not alone.

There is a path forward, and it starts with tender self-awareness and the courage to be with what’s true.

You are worthy of healing. You are worthy of peace. And you are not broken, you are becoming!
