You were not made to carry the painful stories of your past alone. Story work provides a safe place for others to bear witness to your wounds.
We all need people who can listen, be present, and bear witness to our stories to feel seen. Despite the fear of hard work, retelling your story differently than the way shame would want it told is worth it.
Story Group is a place where we can share these places of past wounding — without judgment, without being fixed. Whether you would like to do a group or a one-on-one, we need someone to bear witness to these places. We can’t go at this work alone.
Trauma means wound. It's a wordless story our body tells itself about what is safe and what is a threat. Trauma is not just being wounded, but a story that arises from living wounded, because our pain caused us to compensate, physically and emotionally.
