Our world has become so loud that we can't hear ourselves think. What's worse is that so many people struggle to stay connected to their bodies, which means they are most likely asleep at the wheel of life. It almost feels like I am watching the movie Bird Box with Sandra Bullock when I listen to stories about people's lives and how we all seem to be trying to move forward.

 

We all feel energy through our bodies meant to be felt and interpreted to stay connected to who we were created to be. We don't always know how to make sense of what we are feeling. And sometimes, it isn't easy to feel at all. 

 

70% of adults experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. 20% of people who experience a traumatic event will develop PTSD. 1 in 13 people will develop PTSD at some point in their life. As CPTSD is a newer diagnosis, research is lacking on how common the condition is. Experts estimate it may affect 1% to 8% of the world population as of April 2023.  

 

A 2020 study found that people with PTSD may be at a higher risk for developing autoimmune diseases. This study supports a growing body of research that suggests a link exists between trauma and physical health. This research does not indicate that stress causes autoimmune diseases but rather shows the likelihood of developing one. Although the study involved Army personnel, trauma can be trapped in the body regardless of the source of the trauma. You don't have to be on active duty, a veteran, or a first responder to develop symptoms of trauma.

I am a Navy veteran and a survivor of multiple traumatic events that date back to early childhood. I was diagnosed with PTSD after a psychologist heard one story. My therapist, who has heard many stories, diagnosed me with CPTSD. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in the early months of 2021, and I believe that the heavy, dark, and negative energy from the trauma I experienced was trapped in my body. I am choosing a more holistic approach to healing and am still learning as I go.

Between all the external noise we are taking in and the internal vibrations trying to find their way out in painful ways, it's no wonder so many are struggling. If you are looking for a new way to work on getting to know who you are and the potential your trauma is keeping you from, this just might be what you are looking for. My work with my clients brings a lot of creativity into our sessions. It's where therapeutic skills meet the world of mediumship, with artistic exploration to help us get to know, accept, and love our inner child.

It's time to set yourself free!
