Services & Healing Seminars for Trauma Survivors
What is Trauma?
TO FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF PLEASE TAKE THIS BRIEF QUIZ:
Which of the following words or phrases bring to mind the word “trauma” when you read them? Mentally note EACH entry in the list below that does this.
1. Tsunami
3. Being bullied in the playground with no escape
4. Losing your best friend
5. A hooded figure follows you on a dark street
6. Experiencing humiliation in front of the whole class
7. Being in a car crash
8. Your teddy bear is destroyed by a careless child
9. You are trapped in a major earthquake
10. You have just done something terribly embarrassing
11. You are the victim of sexual molestation
12. You soil your pants in Nursery School
13. You make a major mistake
14. A beloved person moves far away
If you checked every single one of the above as fitting the criteria for a potential trauma, you would be correct. If you didn’t, the mistake you are probably making is thinking that the social traumas of childhood such as experiencing bullying on a playground or being humiliated in front of a class are necessarily any less devastating in their effects upon us than the traumas that result from major disasters.
What makes something a trauma?
The impact of a trauma depends entirely upon the person and how they are interpreting what happens. Little children in particular often have very limited ways of interpreting what is happening to them.
Just what does trauma DO to us?
I will begin with explaining to you about the “freeze response”, a term that refers to neurophysiological changes identified in traumatized animals and people following a traumatic incident. It occurs at the moment of the traumatic event and can never be resolved as long as the original distress is not “discharged” in some manner.
Animals in the wild often discharge trauma physically through convulsive trembling or other means of motor discharge, but our society usually demands that we “keep a stiff upper lip” and conceal our response to a trauma. This frequently does not allow us to release the freeze response, much to our detriment.
We probably all have some frozen traumas hidden within us and these can cause great emotional suffering when not resolved.

With the use of Advanced EFT and my other tools I guide you through the clearing of Negative Emotional Energy stored in your body.
Psychological and Emotional Energy Work is the foundation of energy psychology. As children, we are influenced and shaped by our family dynamics. When our intimate bonding is traumatized by emotional, sexual, mental, emotional and spiritual abuse, we develop complex trauma that is triggered through relationships. Emotional memory gets stuck in the body in order to survive the trauma, terror, and enormous emotional energetics that a child cannot hold in their body at the time. We become fragmented, disconnected and disassociated from our authentic feelings and needs. We build defenses, rationales and split personalities in order to survive. These sub-personalities and emotional defenses numb out the original traumatic event and emotions, and causes an individual to go numb as a survival mechanism. Dead emotions cause blocked energy and results in various psychological, physical, creative and spiritual isolation, dis-ease and disorders. We no longer can relate to life in a healthy, passionate, safe or alive way. Life becomes a long chaotic trauma, out of control and fearful. In order to release, transform and reconfigure the trauma, it is necessary to find the stuck energy and release it.
Healing the Whole Person
Alternative and holistic forms of healing treat the whole person. Allopathic medicine, while very beneficial in trauma situations, treats symptoms rather than treating the whole person. Alternative healing methods allow us to heal on all levels. Alternative Energy Healing and Alternative Spiritual Healing Methods assist us in healing in our body, emotions, mind and spirit. Everything is energy. Mind is energy. Emotions are energy, Material Matter is energy. When a person is traumatized, the energy of the emotional shock is imprinted in the brain, cells, muscles and organs of the body. The brain does not know the difference between the memory of a trauma and the actual trauma. In order to heal the original core trauma, it is important to move into the emotional and energetic body to transform and free up the energy from the body and mind.
Alternative Healing, Creative, Emotional and Spiritual processes and practices moves into the energy fields of a person’s deeper psyche and core spirit. It is a new paradigm of healing trauma from abuse and complex trauma that truly assists and addresses the symptoms of trauma to heal depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic illness, eating disorders and other addictions, and mental and emotional illnesses without the use of drugs.

If you have questions or concerns please call me or email at the contact information below.
Specialized PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Treatment Packages
These packages are designed especially for survivors of Rape, Sexual Abuse, Physical/Mental Abuse, War Trauma, or any other long term life threatening and/or life debilitating situations. I specialize in PTSD because of my passion to restore you to the life you deserve. You deserve not feel like a victim or live in terror. If you suffer from recurring nightmares, feel triggered in intimate situations, feel afraid to be in crowded places, that can end now. Many survivors excessively eat, drink, use drugs to cope, hide or soothe trauma. Weight gain, addictive behaviors, fears and phobias are merely symptoms of PTSD, as you try to hide the issues that will not go away until effectively treated. As we treat the Cause, the symptoms either fall away naturally or are easily and effectively treated. So restore your life to what you deserve now. Live Internet Video Sessions via Skype allow Long Distance sessions at the same price.
Healing Seminars for Groups of Rape/Sexual Abuse Survivors and War Veterans. Prices vary depending upon location and the need for travel/lodging as well as Venue costs. I provide seminars nation wide as a specialist in the field of Effective PTSD Treatment. If you have a venue available in your area and a group interested in Effective Treatment for these issues contact me to schedule your seminar. I normally provide 3 day Healing Seminars (Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday, full days) to maximize the effectiveness for the group and to allow for One-on-One sessions (priced separately) for attendees.
