Trauma and Empowerment

In this process, we focus on recovering what we lost from the shocks,traumas, and abuses of our past. It involves validating and exploring the wounds that came from these experiences and recovering our natural dignity and personal power. In the Learning Love Work, we describe three stages of empowerment. The first is coming back to our body, recognizing and feeling the shock and fear we hold inside because of past events. The second is waking up our natural protector which feels and knows when we are being disrespected and can mobilize the energy to respond. The third is being able to set clear and specific limits when something doesn’t feel right. This workshop takes you through these three stages.

Many of us may not be aware of our past traumas or how profoundly they affect our lives. But these experiences make it very difficult for us to trust - ourselves or other people. They may have left us feeling deep shame or shock, our sexuality may be disturbed and we may have difficulties expressing our creativity. The fear and the feelings of unworthiness that these experiences caused deeply damage our self-esteem, our energy and our ability to relate.

We heal as we begin to feel the fear and shock we hold in our bodies and
build strengths and resources in our life today. In this healing process, our traumatic experiences become the seed of self-love, wisdom and meditation.
