Overcoming trauma  Willingness is what allowed me to heal myself, so that I could help others also make an impact on the world. But before I could embrace a new vision for my life, I had to face the wounds of my past that were keeping me down. It’s a brave act to face your fears and past experiences. So, let’s look at ways we can help you get through trauma. Most of us live life trying to control our circumstances in order to feel safe. When we obsess over fearful thoughts, or feel an unconscious sense of anxiety, these behaviours are subconscious ways of trying to control our circumstances. From my own personal experiences of sexual and physical abuse also tragic losses of both brothers committing suicide. Whenever we try to control everything, we are not going to feel peace. I faced my trauma with courage and that is a mindset I needed to help me through the hard times when trauma came up.

 We all struggle to find hope in life. There is a way to hold onto hope. From my own experience I’ve had to find a way after a tragic loss of a family member who committed suicide. It was hard until I found hope. Having hope gives you a reason to carry on with your life. For some people they believe that god is their reason to keep going with their life because he takes over the situation. While we are facing pandemic it affects our mental health, so let’s find hope through these difficult times.  As much as we try to plan ahead, life always throws curveballs our way.
