What if the world is holding its breath –
waiting for you to take the place that only you can fill?
-David Whyte, Poet
Trauma: Acute, Chronic and Complex
Chronic trauma occurs when a person is exposed to multiple, long-term, and/or prolonged distressing events over an extended period. These events can be repetitive and wear down an individual’s resilience.
Complex trauma involves varied and multiple traumatic events, often of an invasive, interpersonal nature. These events can significantly impact an individual’s psychological well-being.
Grief / Loss
Grief is widely known as loss of a loved one but it can also be attributed to loss of a pet, career or job, home, family structure, and health, to name a few.
Oppression
Oppression can manifest in various ways, including discrimination, marginalization, and unequal power dynamics and affects individuals and communities based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, and more.
Attachment
Our early childhood experiences shape our ability to form and maintain meaningful relationships throughout our lives.
Womens Issues
Issues unique to women including IVF, pregnancy, PMDD, menopause, etc.
Major Life Transitions
Life changes can be scary and confusing. Divorce, career changes, health impairments, marriage, and blending families are just a few of these.
Identity Exploration and Wayfinding
Identity refers to the core sense of self—who we are, our beliefs, values, roles, and how we perceive ourselves in relation to others and the world.
Spirituality Exploration and Wayfinding
Spiritual wayfinding involves the process of navigating one’s spiritual path—seeking meaning, purpose, and connection beyond the material world.
Aging and Meaning-Making
Each stage of life brings different challenges — physical, psychological, social. In a village, we would have had guides to help us make these transitions and make meaning of our choices, stories, experiences, and unique paths.
