This is your core, a combination of all the great things that make you, well, you. Ideally, these factors would be merged into one neatly packaged core belief system. This may be a basic model, but these three factors interact with your core identity, your self perception or who you think you are your social identity or who others think you are. And finally, your sense of self improvement or who you want to be as we develop these reflect our core belief system. The further away these get from one another, the more stress, anxiety and depression we may experience. For instance, a traumatic event can affect how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. If trauma has left unresolved, these factors will start drifting apart if that trauma leads to post traumatic stress. Now we really have a problem, because increasing the distance creates a vacuum that invites addictions, toxic shame, isolation, the list goes on. How do we close the distance? Well, recovery requires us to confront the trauma directly, mind, body and spirit. It takes courage and a lot of work. But with proper support, healing is possible. Now can we make the trauma disappear? entirely? Not really, but we can help you make it manageable. Reality is that it will always be there, but it doesn't have to be as big, and it doesn't have to run your life. Our hope is that you experience a healing path that helps make you a better you because you're worth every bit of the work that goes into it. If you've experienced trauma and it's taking over your life, don't hesitate. Reach out for help today.
