PHASING OUT OF TRAUMA
​
My Co-leader, Lisa Becerra, and I are excited to start a new ministry in the fall of this year called POOT: Phasing Out of Trauma We hope to offer support and information to women who have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual trauma.
​
WHAT WE BELIEVE
​
We were victims (Yes, it did happen) and we suffer from trauma. What happened is NOT our fault. Abuse in any and every form has NO excuse. We cannot change our past; however, we can be empowered to stop the continuation of trauma, so we are no longer defined by our past. As beloved survivors we can learn to let go of shame and walk in self-confidence.
​
God can empower us to take our lives back and embrace the goodness and the beauty of who we were created to be. With Christ at our center, Catholics and Protestants can come together and heal side by side. We can provide a welcoming environment for women of different faith traditions who want to discover how Jesus can bring greater healing into their lives.
​
ABOUT THE GROUP
​
Phasing Out of Trauma is a donations-based group that welcomes all women 18+ regardless of where they are in their healing, what brought them to seek additional support, and their desired outcome. Each woman can journey on her unique path and find herself on a “firmer foundation” from this experience through:
​
Open weekly peer facilitated and led meetings where no sign ups or registration is required - Come as you are!
Introductions to different phases of healing that women can explore in greater depth at their own pace.
​
Expanding of their support network, sharing their unique experiences, and realizing that they are not alone in their feelings, thoughts, and sensations.
​
WHAT WE PROVIDE
​
A welcoming, safe, and supportive place for trauma survivors.
​
Teachings on various topics related to trauma, and a roadmap for trauma recovery work.
​
Safe exploration of spirituality: who God is, what He says, and all the “Whys” survivors carry.
