Moving From Pain to Peace in This New Normal
Virtual Workshop

As we move towards a New Normal, let us take a moment to reflect on how trauma impacts the mind, body, and spirit. Not only are we burdened with the trauma from our past and childhood, but we are also facing the trauma of the pandemic and racial injustices.
Most people are holding onto way more pain than they are releasing. When we do this, it causes us to feel powerless. It is as if we do not have control over our environment. We experience mistrust amongst people. Our defense mechanism, developed during our childhood to protect us, get activated. Our adult self does not want to feel the pain, nor work on the pain. We just want the emotional pain to disappear.
When an emotional violation happens and does not get addressed, it gets buried and we will find ourselves stuck in a pattern of denial or refusal.
You might think that releasing your pain, talking about your emotional wounds, who hurt you and how it made you feel to be a luxury but, it is not. When we hold onto to our pain, we are shutting down and getting stuck.
Sometimes the guilt & shame about your life choices can prevent you from moving from pain to peace.
The abuse you experienced as a child, your abandonment issues, your fear of rejection will show up on your dates, when you are socializing with friends and/or family and prevent you from living your best life.
Unintentionally, your emotional dysfunctions are being modeled for your children & the community. Until you are willing to do something different, you will transfer the pathology of pain to your children who will pass it on to their children.
Unless you are open you will be unable to forgive, to express empathy, offer comfort, a space where healing can take place.
Are you ready to change & release the anger, the pain, the hurt, the humiliation and move from pain to peace?
When you hold the people around you responsible for what you did not have, asking & demanding them to show up & fill the void that was created by your life experiences, you continue the narrative of not being good enough, being unlovable, being unworthy, not worth it, broken and needing to be fixed.
This 4-part comprehensive workshop entitled Moving From Pain to Peace in This New Normal will cover an array of issues pertaining to mental health and mental wellness.
You are in charge of your emotions and get to choose whether to hold onto painful feelings which disempower you.
If your thinking is everyone feels the same as I, do what I do or say what I say, your viewpoint of your behavior is it is not hurtful or dysfunctional. Oftentimes, the people around you will reflect your behavior, life experiences, beliefs, and your world view.
When you live in chaos, it becomes your norm. When you view your bad behavior as normal & acceptable behavior, you will perpetuate this behavior onto your children, friends, co-workers, loved ones and any conversation about your bad behavior being inappropriate or wrong will be quickly rejected or rationalized because you truly cannot see what you are doing or how hurtful you are being. “Hurt People Hurt People.”
When your emotional wounds are being left unhealed, when you say “that happened so long ago; thereby it cannot possibly have anything to do with my present life," you continue the pattern of hurt, abuse, and emotional wounding.
Living in chaos becomes normal and therefore yelling, screaming, cussing people out appear as acceptable ways of expressing your hurt, disappointment, anger, or frustration. Judgement and negative statements are your “best friends”.
Moving From Pain to Peace in This New Normal, takes courage!
