Recovering from Trauma

19 March 2025

One of the most challenging things to heal from is abuse against the feminine 

Often it's domestic and someone you are in a relationship with 

It's such a journey to understand and unravel from - as it often involves such complex situations 

I can only speak from the perspective as a woman

People say why did you put up with it or why did you go back 

It s that you want it all to go back to "normal" to come into some kind of familiar regulation for your nervous system to go back into the state it recognises as known

It's takes a multi faceted approach to unravel all the tendrils of this as its beliefs and stories you create to make this way of being acceptable 


I was at a workshop once and the trauma from an injury I sustained literally re awakened and I was taken right back to fawn mode 

I was frozen and could barely speak 

The feelings and emotions of being in that situation flooded every part of me

Any one facilitating workshops or healing sessions must be aware of how the body will unravel trauma and how to safely allow this to express through the body mind and energy 

And support must be given. Or you risk re traumatising which then adds another layer around it all

I know it as I ve experienced it for myself - if I shared the entire story it would be too much for this platform ... 

And I know it by how I see it unravel with those who come for Feminine BodyWork

What's needed is deep trust in the one holding you through it and safe space and time enough to process 

Empathy, compassion and the tools to guide you through

You can feel safe in your body again x and thrive xxx

Longer sessions allow plenty of space and time Trauma informed Care
