The Healing Trauma Summit continued….

‘I’ve allowed my clients & students & spouse to be good tor-mentors with a hyphen between the tor and mentor. So, by tormenting me what they’ve taught me is what I need to heal and what I’m proud of is that instead of blaming them I’ve actually gone to all the parts that they bring up in me’ Richard Schwartz

‘When implicit memory returns we know that it is the trauma within us…. (Healing occurs) when the embodiment of the memory, within the window of tolerance, is met by the embodied offer of what was needed at the time, but was not available…’ Bonnie Badenoch

Visualization to increase resilience: In short: sit comfortably and focus on gentle breathing; imagine safe place; imagine someone wise and strong coming to visit you in this place; imagine how you greet each other and where you talk; then what worry or problem you want to share; what they say, and finally, a goodbye and closure scene by Linda Graham

“This research reminds us that we hold many of the levers of healing in our own hands. It makes us aware that it is not doctors, hospitals, acupuncturists, homeopaths, chiropractors, energy workers, or other health professionals who determine our sickness and health. They can tilt the balance, but not nearly as much as we can. Each of us, as individuals, creates a big chunk of our emotional and mental environment, thereby turning genes on and off in our cells. This opens up vast and exciting potential.” Dawson Church
