BUILDING RESILIENCE, HEALING TRAUMA

/in /by

An online workshop with Lynn Fraser
October 22-24, 2021  (Fri – Sun  4 pm PT / 7 pm ET)  –  3 sessions

 

“Trauma is not what happens to us. Trauma is what happens inside of us as a result of what happens to us. The effect of trauma is that we disconnect from ourselves, our sense of value, and the present moment.”     

Dr Gabor Maté

 

Join trauma specialist and meditation teacher Lynn Fraser in this timely workshop to:

 

  • Understand the basics of ‘ordinary’ trauma.
  • Experience the role of presence and awareness in staying grounded in the present – the only moment where we can breathe, relax and heal.
  • Learn powerful mindfulness practices to build resilience and calm your nervous system from survival responses of fight/flight/freeze/fawn, and restore a state of trust and connection.
  • Access higher level brain functioning and meet the challenges of the present with clarity and compassion.

 

Ordinary trauma arises from the pain of human life. We didn’t fit in at school. Our mom was depressed. Our parents worked all the time or fought a lot. We had a serious childhood illness, or a sibling did, or a best friend moved away, and so on.

Many of us don’t know we are scared, hurt or only just coping, because these feelings are the water we have always swum in. We don’t know we have ordinary trauma, or that we are living with core beliefs of unworthiness. What we don’t know and can’t afford to feel, we can’t heal.

We process collective fear and grief on top of our own individual pain. In this time of Covid, it is more urgent than ever to settle our nervous system and access our higher level brain. When we look at life through a trauma lens, it becomes easier to understand the intensity of people’s actions and beliefs, and to have compassion for ourselves and others.

Each session includes a talk, resource materials, guided practice, and time to share your experience and ask questions.
