Leaning into safety in your nervous system is a fine thing to do. We heal in relationships, with ourselves and with others.  

We all know that feeling of unease, that we just cannot put our finger on. Something has triggered us but we do not know what. This happens because the traumatic experience floats in our memory with no anchor. As a result, it feels like the trauma is happening in the here in now. It has no time stamp, according to Robyn Gobbel. 

Trauma is processed or integrated inside safe relationships. It is there where we can get our needs met in the here and now, that were not met during the trauma. When we ourselves or others can see our pain, offer compassion and a safe space, the memory can be brought into the present where healing can happen. 

Will you forget what has happened to you? No, but the pain of remembering it will ease and your triggers will have less hold over you as your brain works to see that you are now safe.

If you are struggling with a trauma response in yourself or your child, then give me a call.
