Trauma is not the end, it is a doorway home

(all accounts are fictional composites to protect anonymity)

Malcom’s parents fought when he was a toddler. After their divorce he was called a “problem child.” He yelled, hit his brother, ran away, broke rules, and cried uncontrollably. Caught in custody fights, he lived with his dad and his dad’s new partner. At 13 he still wet the bed and woke from nightmares almost every night. His dad sent him to a therapeutic group home because he didn’t know what else to do. His behavior got worse there: he ran away, used drugs, joined gangs, and learned to protect himself from other teens and staff. That was the first of six homes before he aged out at 18.

I met Malcom when he was 63. Over six years of regular therapy we built a caring, honest relationship. He learned ways to cope with daily stress and trauma. He made friends, earned a master’s degree, paid off debt, managed health issues, and repaired some family ties. He grew in trust, racial pride, shame and responsibility, intimacy, body awareness, and presence. He bravely worked through past trauma and began creating the life he wanted.

One session he said, “Sunyata, I remember the first day we met. I didn’t know if I’d like you. I never liked therapists. No one ever wanted to help or know me.” I asked, “What was different with me?” He said, “You sat next to me.”

Philosophy

Method

who am i?

Psychology began with the question, “What’s wrong with you?”

Trauma psychology started asking the question, “What happened to you?”

To awaken back to innate wholeness, one of the most important questions becomes, “Who are you?”

To help you discover who you really are, Dynamic Trauma Integration uses 6 main princiles:

  • Real 3D life is precious and needs to be protected for the wellbeing of all living creatures. Technology has come a long way, but cannot take the place of real life presence for our nervous system, attachment system, and interconnectedness with the natural world.

  • To work through subtle traumas and awaken to your core nature, people have to get beyond the self-improvement loop. Working on yourself over and over again will only get you so far. Develop a good enough sense of yourself, then grow back into the rest of life.

  • To get out of the self-improvement loop, people must learn to work consciously with their perceptions - how they see and experience things.

  • At a certain point, it doesn’t feel safe to grow beyond personal identity, personal protection, personal safety, and what is known. However, to reconnect back with all of life means growing beyond these. This requires learning to feel safe not feeling safe.

  • Secure attachment with people is important for becoming a whole person. As people grow, their relationships change - and when relationships change, people change. Learning to work directly with the changing nature of relationships helps people grow beyond self-improvement and personal safety.

  • People were never meant to live separately from the rest of life. To fully awaken, people need to learn to attach with all of life like they attach with other people. This includes elements of life like trees, air, space, time, directions, animals, colors. In this way presence isn’t bound to a particular object, it’s free.
