Trauma is NOT a Dirty Word

Emotional healing from trauma, trauma recovery journey, understanding trauma wounds

The truth about trauma is that it comes from regular events in our life too. It is not a dirty word.
Trauma is a powerful elixir of change and can be the greatest heart opener BUT it requires acknowledgment, understanding and loving self compassion.

Strength versus Courage

Courage is where the bravery is. It is where you dare to be, see, do or think a different way about something and to create the change you desire. You do not need strength to create the change, you need the courage to start and may/may not find strength along the way.

Anniversary Musings

On this date my mind remembers and my body feels the events of 2010. With each passing year the pain, e-motions and triggers lessen in their intensity and how they come forth. The only constant is my mind’s visual recall, taking me back as if it was yesterday. I am curious at how each year I feel different.

Science and Soul

Talking about his soul choosing to walk this human experience different to many other souls is not only something I believe, but empowered my son in his uniqueness. In his strengths and wisdom, his “superpowers” rather than his limitations outlined by the science. It put the focus on him seeing himself, rather than spinning into anger, blame, frustration, hurt and hatred for the ‘cause’ of his Autism.

Forgiveness of SELF

Self-forgiveness is a key component of healing and giving ourselves love. It is not about berating ourselves, criticising ourselves or talking negatively to ourselves. It is not the “should of”, “could of”, or “would of” conversations we have with self.

It is about honouring and loving ourself enough to allow ourselves to see the personal growth from the situation and the opportunity to know our soul deeper, to heal the dense energies and  change our life trajectory.

The Complexity of Strength

My journey home to soul has required a lot from me, not least of which has been strength, courage and perseverance. Diving deep within my soul has been both a journey of beauty and immeasurable joy, and a journey of confrontational challenges. Without doubt what kept me going, and still keeps me going, is my […]

Soul Authenticity

Mother’s Day in Australia was a challenging day for the author, reflecting on personal traumas related to her adoption, her adoptive mother’s cruelty, and a traumatic incident involving her ex-husband. However, after deep inner work, she found healing through gratitude, love, and a focus on her children’s well-being, celebrating life over pain.

The Energy of Words

The author reflects on the conflict between inner energy and outward expression, feeling pressure from both self-imposed and external expectations. They highlight the importance of aligning words with personal energy to convey authenticity. Misalignment leads to deception, while true alignment fosters integrity and ensures intentions are genuinely communicated and understood.

Rebirth Weaving

The strands of life entwined around the soul, Stretching.Tightening.Binding and contracting. Pulling on the loom. Wefts of grief, loss, abandonment and betrayal. Woven among the soul’s warp of love, creation, wisdom and compassion. Birthing strands pure white in clarity, innocence and hope. Discoloured by life’s experiences. Under. Over. Sideways. Downwards. Upwards. Each strand pulls upon […]

Life After Trauma

Recovery from trauma, though challenging, is not as daunting as the trauma itself. Open discussion and acknowledgment of trauma, which encompasses various experiences beyond extreme cases, are crucial for healing. By embracing personal narratives and shifting societal stigma, individuals can release dark energy imprints, improve their health, and rebuild their lives.
