Trauma leaves an imprint not just on our memories, but fundamentally alters our nervous system and inner world. When faced with overwhelming helplessness in our formative years, our psyche often splits into traumatized, surviving, and healthy parts to protect us. In this profound session, we explore this Split Model, understanding how behaviors like suppression, control, or anxiety are actually survival strategies protecting deeper wounds. By learning how to hold a non-judgmental space and respond with curiosity, you will discover powerful ways to regulate your nervous system and connect with the healthy self.

In this session, you will:

  • Discover how trauma affects the inner world using the Split Model

  • Learn calming techniques to manage emotional overwhelm

  • Gain self-awareness to respond with confidence and compassion
