I have found that children really enjoy helping their parents with trauma release. They like the different techniques and they can do quite a few for themselves with a little help. Even 2 to 3 year old children are able to work with mom and dad in doing these releases. Our children experience the traumas that we go through. We try to protect them, but they are very aware when we are going through difficult times.
Moms have found that the techniques really helps with the child's activation levels. The children calm themselves, are more able to focus, and have less anxiety and "acting out". This yields an overall calmer home where parents and children are working together, offering support, and clearing their bodies of stress and trauma.
Unfortunately, some children have experienced their own trauma. Medical issues, accidents, falls, separation from parents, neglect, difficult births, loss of friends and family, etc. can all traumatize children. However, children are very resilient and because the trauma is relatively "fresh", they tend to be able to release the stored trauma more easily than adults.
Children work well together in a group or as individuals. I offer a group class for children that are held in person. I also train parents so they can work individually with their children.
Billye’s trauma coaching came at a really challenging time in my life. Her generous listening ear, curious questions and helpful suggestions were a soothing nourishment to my soul. The content of the course was extremely practical and without any delving into my trauma. Practicing the techniques and weekly rhythms have allowed me to shed my constant anxiety and have given me a refuge when it starts to pop up again. I highly recommend this course no matter what life is like for you right now. We have all gone through hard life experiences and our bodies really do internalize these things and we need a way to help release. Billye and the content of her course is a simple, yet invaluable way to do just that.
