You May Have Experienced Trauma But Don't Know It (and How to Heal with EFT)

Unresolved traumas may be the reason why you have low self-worth, have codependent tendencies or are a people pleaser, have an anxious, avoidant or disorganized attachment style, or feel anxious around others and avoid conflict.

When people hear the word, "traumatized," often they think of someone being in a life or death situation, whether it's being in a battle, in a natural disaster, in an auto or plane crash, or being physically abused or sexually assaulted. These are known as "shock" or acute forms of trauma.

There are, however, other traumas that many people experience, yet these events tend to fly under the radar or get overlooked, downplayed or dismissed. These traumas can have devastating, long-term effects on how a person thinks, feels and behaves until these traumas are addressed and healed.

In my work with clients, I find that a great majority of issues, such as codependency and people pleasing, anxious/avoidant/disorganized attachment, anxiety, low self-worth, limiting beliefs and so on, come from unhealed trauma. In this free, online presentation, we will discuss the different categories of trauma and the lingering effects they can have on someone who has experienced them, and how working with a certified, clinical EFT practitioner can help you heal yourself and start living your best life.

*** Trigger Warning *** As we will be discussing a variety of examples of acute, chronic, complex, developmental, intergenerational and vicarious forms of trauma, if you find that the discussion becomes distressful for you, please look after yourself and needs and disconnect from the call to take time to self-sooth and do a form of self-care that works for you. It is important that you take care of yourself.

This presentation is being hosted by Paul J. Hermelin, a certified, clinical Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) practitioner accredited through EFT International. https://eftinternational.org/eft-practitioner/pjhermelin/
