#5: Rise Above Your Story


Listen Later

Today I speak to the very inspirational Sandra Cooze, she is a Trauma Incident Recovery/Release and Self Empowerment Coach. Sandra takes us on a journey that started when she was 12 of sexual abuse. She loved horses and got to ride at a stable near town and thats when it all started. This abuse continued with other men she encountered until she was well into her teens and early 20's. With no support or the typical "sweeping things like this under the rug", Sandra never knew it was not ok. She knew it felt wrong and didn't like it, but was told to respect her elders. She also felt ashamed and fear of being blamed. She did tell her mom the first time that happened at age 12 only to just be told you will never go there again. No police were involved, what would the neighbors think! At 16 she was old enough to understand what happened to her. Growing up her feelings were dismissed. She, to this day, still carries the memories and the desperation, you never forget that kind of fear and trauma. It goes deep. When anyone else would of given up and fall into pits of despair, Sandra hit rock bottom and she knew she had to get through this and better herself. With the help of crystals and Reike, she is healing herself. She is now a Reike master and helps others release the triggers that hold onto our emotions. Sexual abuse, even today, is still a stigma of victim blaming. Its their fault because of their clothes or they went to that party, they were friendly...this is NOT OK. While we are making progress, we are a very long way from lifting this stigma experienced by survivors or solving the problem of sexual violence. Every TWO minutes another person is sexually assaulted. Sandra survived to become an Empowered and Inspiring source of love and light. She can help you get through your trauma and release it and to live your purpose. Sandra's Traumatic Incident Reduction coachig program releases trauma and PTSD gently and goes to the root of the cause or issue to release it. Look out for her Youtube channel coming soon for "bite size healing" where she will give you small sessions so not to overwhelm you on how to "heal in short segments". She is writing books and book 1 of three is out next spring. "Journey to Yourself". Be on the look out for that as well! She is doing some amazing things and also working with couples on "relationship triggers" In todays day, that is such a great tool to have being at home with your significant other during this pandemic. I love that she is using spirituality to heal others and also sharing her story, being vulnerable and letting us all in. Thank you Sandra!
