Most people experience trauma during their lifetime. Tragically, if the impact of trauma is not addressed - and it rarely is - its legacy can remain locked in the body. For trauma victims, life simply feels unsafe. Traumatic memories leave an unforgiving cloak of intense anxiety and easily-triggered, unhelpful reactions over a person's thoughts, feelings and physiological responses. These can be a life sentenced. Traumatic events can range from the effects of the pandemic to losing a pet, from fighting in a war to suffering domestic abuse, from witnessing a car accident to experiencing intrusive medical examinations. Trauma strikes deep into both body and mind. That's where Thrive Beyond Trauma: Coach yourself to move on in a troubled world steps in and offers a more optimistic future.
