Trauma is the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel a full range of emotions and experiences. I have received a certificate in grief/trauma counseling and use this as part of my Holistic healing process.  In this session, I work on releasing trapped emotions through the unwinding of the fascia tissue, teaching a client how to breathe through the emotions that are surfacing and guiding them on giving themselves compassion and or forgiveness.  When a client feels a visceral response to a sad event, I take the time to gently guide my clients through the emotions by giving them space to feel in a safe place. Once the body releases sadness, a client will often feel that a heavy burden has lifted, and a sense of lightness and peace will enter the body.
