CARE

Deep healing and restoration for those who
​have experienced Loss/Trauma/Abuse/Exploitation

If you don't heal what hurt you,
​you will bleed on people who didn't cut you.

Processing hurt  starts with ~Time ~Talk ~Tears ~and doing it Together 

Neuro-science shows we process healing by naming it, and connecting our emotions to it. 
If we stay in denial we create more hurt, harm, pain and physical ailments.
Facing it, naming it, owning it and validating our story in the presence of others sets us FREE. this TRUTH steps us into liberty and freedom from our abuse and our trauma. 

Click on the link to the Discover course (below) to start your journey from the comfort of your home
in a simple FREE 6-module course to give you a brief ​intro to our healing curriculum.

     ​    ARE YOU INDEPENDANT AND NOT NEED ANY HELP?

The inability to receive support from others is a trauma response.

Your “I don’t need anyone, I’ll just do it all myself” conditioning is a survival tactic. And you needed it to shield your heart from abuse, neglect, betrayal, and disappointment from those who could not or would not be there for you.

From the parent who was absent and abandoned you by choice or the parent who was never home from working three jobs to feed and house you. From the lovers who offered sexual intimacy but never offered a safe haven that honored your heart or the friendships and family who ALWAYS took more than they ever gave. From all the lies and all the betrayals....
You learned along the way that you just couldn’t really trust people. Or that you could trust people, but only up to a certain point. Extreme-independence IS... A... TRUST... ISSUE...

You learnt: if I don’t put myself in a situation where I rely on someone, I won’t have to be disappointed when they don’t show up for me, or when they drop the ball... because they will ALWAYS drop the ball EVENTUALLY right? Extreme-independence is a preemptive strike against heartbreak. So, you don’t trust anyone. To trust is to hope, to trust is to be vulnerable. “Never again,” you vow.

But no matter how you dress it up and display it proudly to make it seem like this level of independence is what you always wanted to be, in truth it’s your wounded, scarred, broken heart behind a protective brick wall. Impenetrable/ Nothing gets in /No hurt gets in. BUT, no love gets in either.
Fortresses and armor are for those in battle, or who believe the battle is coming.
It’s a trauma response.
The good news is trauma that is acknowledged is trauma that can be healed.

​                      DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH YOUR VALUE?
You are worthy of having support.
You are worthy of having true partnership.
You are worthy of love.
You are worthy of having your heart held.
You are worthy to be adored.
You are worthy to be cherished.
You are worthy to have someone say, “You rest. I got this.” And actually deliver on that promise.
You are worthy to receive.
You are worthy to receive.
You are worthy.

You don’t have to earn it.
You don’t have to prove it.
You don’t have to bargain for it.
You don’t have to beg for it.

You are worthy.
Worthy.
Simply because you exist.
