Healing from Abuse

I’m sorry that you are here and have had this experience.

Rest assured that we can absolutely get you to a strong and calm place, where past events feel distant and do not drive your behaviour.

Abuse has deep and long-lasting affects on every area of our lives. Many times clients have developed:

  • deep distrust or fear of others,

  • behaviour patterns and beliefs that they have to handle everything in life themselves,

  • people pleasing behaviours,

  • ‘mask wearing’ around others,

  • feel unworthy and lack confidence,

  • have a fear of feeling out of control,

  • difficulty making decisions,

  • deep anxiety, and

  • no real sense of who they are.

And that’s just the mental side of things. There will be bodily responses to deal with also, such as calming the nervous system (which will likely be set to fight or flight mode all the time), extreme tension and often other physical symptoms which can range from rashes, to tics, to tinnitus.

Where some therapies can be re-traumatising or ineffective because the body/mind is not ready to face the issue yet, the use of muscle testing in sessions means we work with whatever is the right next step for your healing journey. Healing from trauma requires that physical, mental and spiritual issues are fully addressed.

The work that we do in sessions will often cover the following areas:  

  • Enabling the body to feel safe

  • Restoring internal calm so that the hyper vigilance can be switched off and you can begin to listen internally rather than always having an outside focus

  • Identify and clear layers of beliefs about self and the world and others

  • Patterns of behaviour will need to be brought to light and replaced with empowering ones

  • Deep fears need to be identified and worked through

  • Trauma memories need to be cleared of all trapped negative emotion

As your body starts to feel safe and relax, your patterns of behaviour change and your negative beliefs are cleared, then a whole different way of living opens up.

You can get to a place where you believe in yourself, feel focused, strong, calm and experience deep happiness- a place from which you can be completely true to who you are.
