Neutralizing Trauma





Welcome!

This website is a collection of what I have learned, and continue to learn, about de-escalating and neutralizing triggered reactions that have their roots in childhood trauma.

It is focused on dealng effectively with disruptive triggered reactions - whether our own or another's.

On my journey, I have found the following things to be true:

  • To resolve childhood trauma, I do not need to be able to remember the trauma - or even remember my childhood.
    I do remember most of my childhood, but I have met plenty of people, who do not, and they are still able to resolve their unresolved trauma.

  • In the process of resolving childhood trauma, I also end up healing generational trauma - personal and collective trauma that has been passed down through generations genetically or behaviorally in my family and in my culture.

  • Having support on this journey is essential.
    I am very self-reliant and can do a lot on my own, but self-reliance only goes so far. It has its limits. Receiving guidance and support from a professional is very helpful and, at times, absolutely necessary. I receive guidance and support from someone who had over 14 years of personal trauma integration experience when we started working together and had mentored many others before me.

  • Those of us with addictions, physical health conditions, or mental health conditions may need an expert in that condition to provide additional support and guidance on our trauma resolution journey.









Who Needs To Neutralize Trauma?

Triggered people.

When an old trauma response has been re-activated, we instantly start reliving the past trauma (often subconsciously). This can be very de-stabilizing and disrupt our whole day, week or month.

And we can cause emotional, psychological or physical harm to ourselves, others or our relationships because of what is going on in our nervous system.

We need to quickly (and as gently as possible) uncover the past trauma and neutralize it (resolve it), so that our nervous system can feel safe again.

However, it can be extremely difficult to jump straight into neutralizing past trauma, because of what is going on in our nervous system.

That is why the information on this website is presented in a specific progression that creates a solid foundation, with each section building on the previous one and supporting the next one:
Trauma -> Activation -> De-Escalate -> Management -> Neutralize -> Feelings & Needs.

A final section will be added in the future -> Restore.
