"Most people have experienced some type of trauma in their lives. We have all heard about horrific tales of abuse and tragedy, but these are not the only types of trauma. Other events that to an outside observer may appear harmless or "normal", can also be traumatic. These experiences help shape our beliefs about the world and ourselves. When we are able to reprocess traumatic experiences, we are able to see ourselves and the world around us more clearly. Helping others move forward and reclaim their lives from trauma is a true honor.
