Why one reacts with emotion such as angry outbursts rage

terror fear and the like.

Lights up during

a traumatic

What Happens in Early Childhood Trauma


Why talk therapy is so often ineffective in resolving

trauma.

The emotional

and somatic

experience is

stored in the

right hemisphere

Talk therapy uses

left hemisphere

Mindfulness

Awareness of thoughts, emotions and behavior:

• To consider how what I think, feel and act might impact,

positively or negatively, others.

• To develop compassion and empathy for others.

• To practice humility through gratefulness.

• To consciously establish one’s intent before initiating action.

• To become more compassionate in my relationships.

• To observe chaos rather than create it.

• To respond rather than react.

• To allow space before one chooses.

Spirituality Means:

Ultimately spiritual awareness unfolds

when you’re flexible,

when you’re spontaneous, when you’re

detached,

when you’re easy on yourself

and easy on others.
