VIDEO: The Defining Feature of Trauma is Loss
Jan Normanton • June 23, 2023
The defining feature of trauma is loss. Loss of loved ones, loss of identity perhaps due to a challenging childhood, loss of a sense of self when we or our life circumstances change, for example.
STRT helps clients with loss of any kind and affords clients the space, safety and support to gain a sense of self, agency, a return to their true identity - beyond the career, accolades, status etc. whatever vehicle they may use to seek and find this externally.
Instead of searching for that sense of peace, calm, compassion, love, meaning, purpose outside of ourselves, the invitation is to find that from within, to drop into the body and feel this within.
This is an opportunity for a true homecoming to oneself.
