Healing Collectively is moving forward on two fronts right now.

The first is developing and offering Somatic and Transpersonal training to existing MFT Marraige and Family therapist additional tools to enable them to be more affective treating patients.

The second is to launch the publication arm of the nonprofit as well. Sharing voices of healing.

We are excited to be moving forward!

The shift is starting, the message about the impact of childhood trauma and how it changes a person's entire engagement with the world and making it's way into the collective consciousness in a different way.

To all the way-showers and those of us who have been doing the inner work and laying the ground work for decades, deep gratitude and love.

For a story airing Sunday on 60 Minutes, a leading authority tells Oprah Winfrey how children who have experienced trauma are much more likely to have physical, mental, and social trouble as adults

"It means that we are willing to walk alongside another person in whatever journey they’re on without judging them, making them feel inadequate, trying to fix them, or trying to impact the outcome. When we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgement and control."

Holding space is just a gift that we can do for not only one another but also for ourselves.

I honestly forget at times how this is a rare gift in our culture (the pro / con of having circles and tribes who this is engrained in how we are with each other).

"What do you want? What do you need?"
When the first simple answer can be just to be heard, listened to, and seen exactly where we are with all the sensations, emotions, and thoughts that are coming through.

I thank each of those community for being one of those precious who stand heart to heart, witnessing without fixing, judging, or projecting. Teaching other how to do the same for themselves.

With deep love and gratitude

Do you want to be there for a loved one, but don't know how? Here are some techniques to help you 'hold space' for people in need.
