Why Trauma Care?
Approximately 70% of the world’s population have been exposed to a traumatic life event. The resulting mental health problems represent a major challenge to public mental health services, globally.
Experiences of trauma profoundly change our relationship to our body. Yet few treatments exist for complex trauma survivors, making healing exponentially more difficult for them.
Why Weight Lifting?
Weight lifting, when approached in a trauma-informed manner, can foster resilience, increase a felt sense of agency and empowerment, cultivate healthy nervous system functioning, and facilitate a positive relationship with self and others.
Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting combats the isolating and dividing nature of trauma. How?
