Making space for healing
Trauma and (C)PTSD
Elly’s philosophy and approach to trauma work:
You are the expert about your own needs and life experiences.
When processing hard experiences, you have a right to go at your own pace, be in control, and be respected and heard.
Recovery does not need to be linear, neat, or inspirational to be impactful and meaningful.
Your unique strengths, insights, and self-knowledge can be powerful vehicles for healing and finding meaning.

“Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible in us be found.”
