QUOTES

“Trauma is about how any event overwhelms my system’s capacity to process it.” - Sarah

“You make sense. Every single part of you makes sense and if you make sense, it means you are not broken and if you’re not broken, it means healing is possible. Your system knows how to heal. It just needs to be shown the way and that’s what this work does.” - Sarah

THIS WEEK’S INTENTION

I breathe in deeply to expand, pause to take this moment in, then exhale to release.

WRITING PROMPT

What comes to mind when I think of what’s blocking me from living life fully? Do I have a safe space to process or do I need to create one?
