What do we mean when we talk about trauma? Trauma is our response to something that happens in our lives that we can’t make sense of and so our nervous system gets overwhelmed. A fragmentation or disruption occurs internally and we cannot stay present to what is happening right now. We all have our own responses with some of us becoming more reactive and some of us becoming absent. When we are acting out of a trauma response to something that is happening in the present moment we are responding from an unintegrated and fragmented sense of self. We lose our sense of interconnectedness which leads to separation and othering. By creating space to practice group coherence we hope to create safe opportunities to heal this separation.
