The term “trauma” as it relates to our mission, includes physical injury, mental illness, and narcissistic abuse. CLICK TO VIEW
The term “trauma” is a catch-all word that is said of people who have been in a war, or a car accident, or who have experienced domestic violence.
It is also a term that is being used more and more to describe survivors of narcissistic abuse, dysfunctional family systems, church systems, or another type of organization where people are expected to conform to the established cultural environment.
Terms such as PTSD, C-PTSD, and narcissism are important to know. They are often mislabeled and are used to categorize PEOPLE, not behaviors. When you understand these terms and how they manifest, you are better equipped to set boundaries, be more loving and empathetic in your responses and interactions. Learning how to react and have relationships that are healthy in spite of toxic behaviors is possible.
Changing people is not possible. You can only change yourself.
Our mission = Facilitate conversations, discoveries, and dialogue while providing emotional and mental support in the journey to wholeness.
