It spoke to me as a healer foremost but also as someone who recognizes to have had trauma. I feel being aware of trauma benefits me as a holistic health professional as well as personally, as a friend, and partner.

- Do you know what caused stress patterns in your life? Do you take time to allow old small traumas in when they show up in the present and take time to heal? Some time by yourself, a meditation, talk with a friend, time in nature may shed light on it, but more severe challenges may need the attention of professionals.
