Trauma Healing Therapy

Let me help you to heal your unresolved pain...

We are all carrying some level of trauma…

Trauma is a very important concept, that every single human being would greatly benefit from gaining a better understanding of because every adult on this planet is carrying some level of trauma within them. Trauma is the inner wounds that you cannot see but feel some or a lot of the time. People are often put off by the idea of exploring or acknowledging what or how much trauma they are carrying, as they feel they may be opening “Pandora’s Box” and that this process would be too overwhelming and send them down a path of suffering or re-traumatisation. My approach is gentle and effective. I have worked with so many people using this approach and not one person to date has at any point felt overwhelmed, in fact most people are amazed by how much lighter they feel after a session with me!

Let me help you to gently peek into “Pandora’s Box” in a very controlled and manageable way…

If you have landed on this page, or it has piqued your interest, the likelihood is that you have experienced some level of trauma in your life and are having difficulties on either a physical, mental and/or emotional level. Think back to any time in your life that was upsetting or highly stressful, how did you manage your feelings or emotions around that situation? What we are mostly encouraged to do (by people who have no idea how to identify, acknowledge, manage and heal trauma) when a traumatic event happens, is suppress the emotions or feelings that may be triggered around the event or situation. When nobody knows what to do or how to support you with it, you most likely decided to lock it away in a metaphorical box in the back of your mind and tell yourself “it’s done now just get on with your life”. This can happen over and over throughout our life experience, one trauma on top of another and what people fail to realise is that, trauma is stored in our bodies and minds. Trauma does not ever really go away until you actively heal it and it will show up in many other ways until you hopefully reach a point of awareness that “Pandora’s box” really needs to be opened.

I am a Trauma Detective…

I look upon myself as a Trauma Detective. I will search and question until I help you get to the root of the trauma you may be carrying. Having a quite extensive trauma history myself, I reached a point early on in my twenties where life was going as I had hoped but internally I just wasn’t very happy. I would outwardly be quite socially confident but inwardly I doubted myself and my mindset was very negative. I had a lot of repressed hurt and anger which I was unconsciously projecting onto the people around me which would set off another vicious cycle of hurt and pain with a side order of guilt on top of it. I was also medicating this pain in any way I could – cigarettes, alcohol and food being my go-to “numbing tools”. I realised if I continued on the way I was going, I would lose relationships I value dearly and I would never find that true happiness, self-love and fulfilment I was craving deep down. So began my own journey of healing trauma. It has been a journey filled with ups and downs but I would do it all again to get to where I am today – a much happier, peaceful, content and fulfilled Sarah!

 

Nearly everybody is carrying some level of unconscious or unresolved trauma within and that can have a very uncomfortable impact on our mind, body and spirit. It can also hinder and challenge us in our daily lives and as a result reduce our quality of life. 

Here is how I can help you to heal your trauma and gain freedom from the past…

Step 1 – Trauma Detection

We will look at specific events in your life that were upsetting, stressful and traumatic on a small or large scale

 

We will look at what needs you may have had that went unmet at different stages in your life which can lead to behaviour patterns or coping mechanisms that no longer serve you

 

We will look at how trauma can be passed down generationally

 

We will objectively look (without judgement, blame or criticism) at how the emotions and behaviours of others may have impacted on you more than you realise

 

We will look at limiting beliefs or mindsets that you may have taken on or that were modelled to you and are limiting you within your life experience

 

We will look at how your identity unfolded throughout your life, your perceptions of self-hood, how the perceptions of others may have been internalised possibly to your detriment and filtered your perceptions of yourself and your life

 

We will get to the root of any and all your challenges or struggles, be they physical, mental or emotional and connect the dots in terms with how they correlate with unresolved or unhealed trauma

 

We will gauge your overall Level of Trauma (Low/Moderate/High) and the impact/effect it has had on you

Step 2 – Trauma Healing Sessions

I can help you to identify, acknowledge and heal the root of your unconscious or unresolved pain. 

 

I can help you make the uncomfortable emotions you feel, much more comfortable, understandable and bearable. 

 

I can help guide you to bring about much more feelings of lightness, freedom and safety within your body and your life experience

 

I can help you to stop suppressing your emotions (the root of so much illness and anxiety) and encourage/show you the benefits of acknowledging your emotions and expressing them in much healthier ways. 

 

I can show you healthier ways to regulate your emotions and manage them more effectively. Pain and emotional suppression will be something you can eventually put behind you so that you can confidently move forward feeling lighter and with a new lease of life!

 

I can help you to identify and acknowledge what behaviours of others you may be or have been tolerating and how to put much healthier boundaries in place which will lead to much more peace in your mind and in your life.

 

I can help you to feel good enough and deserving/worthy of love, joy, peace and everything you have ever wanted.

 

I can help you to embrace your mind, body and spirit instead of fighting or constantly feeling resistance or discomfort around those elements of your being.

Within my Trauma Healing Sessions, I use The Havening Techniques®, which is a psycho-sensory touch therapy, designed to change the brain to de-traumatize the memory and remove its negative effects from both our psyche and body.

As part of its protocol The Havening Techniques uses the sensory input of human touch as a therapeutic tool which we have identified as Havening Touch®. 

 

The Havening Techniques® are powerful tools that can be used to treat the consequences of encoded traumatic or stressful memories. Depending on the nature of the encoded trauma it can be done with guidance by a certified Havening Techniques practitioner or by oneself.

 

Havening has three (3) distinct applications—the first is for emotional disturbances and encoded psychological trauma; the second is for wellness, stress management, and peak performance; and the third is a self-help tool. 

 

Havening can be described as a type of psychosensory modality based on the fields of neuroscience and neurobiology, which uses sensory input in order to alter thought, mood, and behaviour. It is believed that when an event or experience is perceived as traumatic or stressful, it becomes immutably encoded in the psyche and the body, often with life altering consequences. Havening is designed to make changes in the brain in order to de-traumatize and remove from both the psyche and the body the emotional memory of a traumatic or stressful life event and its negative effects. Therefore, Havening is a healing modality that is designed to help individuals overcome problems that are the consequence of traumatic or stressful encoding. Havening comprises a number of protocols; one of these protocols used as a therapeutic tool includes human touch, and is identified as Havening Touch®.

 

Discovering The Havening Techniques has been life changing for me on so many levels. I struggled for many years to find my true purpose in life and when I started my journey to becoming a Havening Techniques Practitioner, everything started to fall into place for me personally and professionally. I carried my own unresolved pain for many years and many times looked for support in the wrong places. I did many years of talk therapy and while I found it so helpful, supportive and beneficial, a few months after finishing up with a therapist, I would feel that pain slowly creep back in. I think this is because while talking about pain is an excellent way to identify and acknowledge it, that wasn’t enough for me. I still had lots of pain and hurt suppressed deep in my body that would only come up in very unconscious ways. Havening gave me a very effective way of releasing that pain permanently. Don’t get me wrong, I am still a work in progress but I feel lighter and lighter with each session I do! I can see now that releasing that pain from my body was the missing link in my healing journey. Plus the reward and results I get from working with others using the Havening Techniques is nothing short of phenomenal!!
