Yesterday was July 4th, Independence Day in America. It got me thinking about freedom in its various shapes and forms.
As I reflect on freedom, I am reminded of a client who suffers from trauma due to her childhood and recent past. As a result, she struggles with using her voice and experiences feeling stuck in making progress in her healing journey.
This lack of vocalizing is her trauma response. She withholds speaking her truth and expressing her needs when she is triggered or feels unsafe. While she logically understands the limitations of this struggle, the emotional ties are strong.
When she struggles, her energy is low. She gets tired, confused, and unable to express herself and her needs in a way that feels effective to her. It is painful to witness.
She and I work together to hold her in a space where she can first identify and then vocalize those thoughts that she has been keeping deep down inside. We use various modalities for shifting the energy to one where she finds and then puts her voice to her experiences, wishes, desires, and needs. Together, we are empowering her to heal, to hold her soul in high energy, and to live and speak authentically.
As she does the work, I see her becoming freer and freer. Her spirit is soaring higher and higher. It is beautiful to witness, and I feel blessed to be part of her journey.
