Trauma-Informed Care
Within my Kambo practice, I am committed to providing a trauma-informed framework that acknowledges the profound impact trauma can have on individuals.
Trauma often stems from experiences that are too rapid and overwhelming for our system to adequately process, leaving lasting imprints on our well-being.
In light of this understanding, I firmly reject the notion that trauma can be effectively addressed by subjecting individuals to additional traumatic events. Instead, I embrace an approach that fosters healing through compassion, respect, and a deep sense of safety. I believe that the path to recovery lies in creating a space where you can explore and navigate your healing journey at a pace that feels right for you.
Throughout our work together, I prioritize sensitivity and empathy, acknowledging that each person's experiences and responses to trauma are unique. I understand that what may feel comfortable for one individual may be overwhelming for another. Therefore, I encourage open and honest communication, inviting you to share your boundaries, concerns, and preferences. Your agency and autonomy are essential in guiding our therapeutic process.
By fostering a gentle and supportive environment, we can cultivate a sense of trust and build a solid foundation for your healing journey. I am here to listen, validate your experiences, and provide guidance and support as you navigate the complexities of trauma recovery.
Moreover, I draw upon a variety of complementary approaches to complement the Kambo modality. These may include mindfulness techniques, breathwork, somatic practices, and other trauma-informed modalities. By integrating these holistic approaches, we can promote emotional regulation, enhance self-awareness, and facilitate a deeper connection between mind, body, and spirit.
The Bud.....Galway Kinnell
The Bud
stands for all things,
even for those things that don’t flower,
for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness,
to put a hand on its brow
the brow of the flower
and retell it in words and in touch
it is lovely until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing;
-Galway Kinnell from “Saint Francis and the Sow”
