A holistic approach to Trauma healing
Mind, Body, and Soul: The Holistic Way to a Healthier You
Three Pillars of Healing
1
Community
A safe and supportive trauma-informed community allows survivors to feel understood, validated, and less alone in their struggles. It can provide a sense of belonging and acceptance that survivors have lacked in their earlier experiences. Being part of a trauma-informed community can also offer opportunities for growth and healing, as survivors can learn from others’ experiences and gain new insights into their own healing journey.
With the support and encouragement of a trauma-informed community, survivors of childhood trauma can build resilience, find hope, and work towards a brighter future.
2
resources
Proper resources are essential for trauma-informed healing but have traditionally been challenging to find. The effects of trauma can profoundly affect your physical, emotional, and psychological well-being, and recovery can take time and effort.
Trying to track down the necessary resources can feel daunting and impossible. That’s why we are constantly working to provide healing resources for childhood trauma survivors—so you can stop playing the guessing game about how to heal.
3
education
Trauma-informed education is critical to healing childhood trauma because it acknowledges the impact that trauma can have on your brain and body. Childhood trauma can lead to various challenges, including difficulty regulating emotions, disrupted attachment relationships, and disruptions in cognitive and academic development.

Building a Safe Haven: Essential Elements for a Trauma-Informed Environment
the missing piece
the importance of trauma-informed environments
Trauma survivors can be re-traumatized when put in environments that are not trauma-informed. These situations can trigger memories, feelings, and sensations associated with the original trauma—causing them to be overwhelmed and highly stressed, leading to feelings of shame, guilt, and helplessness that often accompany trauma. This is why a trauma-informed community can be vital to healing.
A Comprehensive Approach to Childhood Trauma Recovery
Mind-Body Healing: The Power of Connection
Western medicine uses a reductionist approach to healthcare—doctors look at the body parts in isolation. While this approach has successfully treated acute medical conditions, it fails to support trauma survivors whose experiences affect multiple aspects of their health and well-being.
Trauma survivors often experience many physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms. These symptoms cannot be addressed by focusing solely on individual body parts or symptoms.
A whole-body approach recognizes the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit and considers the complex interplay between these elements. This approach emphasizes treating the whole person rather than just the individual symptoms.
