Trauma can leave lasting effects that limit your ability to live with joy and abundance, whether from a single event or repeated experiences, in childhood or more recently. It can manifest as anxiety, depression, chronic health issues, disconnection from the body, or challenges with trust, intimacy, and self-worth. Yet, healing and wholeness are within reach. Join clinical psychologist, EMDR consultant, somatic therapist, and trauma survivor Dr. Arielle Schwartz for a transformative weekend of mind-body healing practices designed to guide you toward post-traumatic growth.
