They have been developed into an experience similar to one you would have if you were physically close enough to attend a Gentle Support Post Traumatic Stress Wellness Workshop. A Wellness approach looks at life experiences and people as whole and healthy. The philosophy that grounds this class emphatically believes recovery from trauma is natural and normal. To view traumas from this point of view, we need to distinguish the trauma itself from you. You are not your trauma.
Traumas are often horrendous, vile, awful and devastating.
You, however, are normal. Your feelings are normal, your responses to your trauma are normal, and the difficulties you might have after your trauma are also normal. Over the years, several people attended one counseling session after a severe and violent trauma. These healthy individuals believed the common 'wisdom' that if you were a victim of trauma you needed counseling. During their one session, it became clear they needed no extra assistance.
