How To Help A Loved One With PTSD and C-PTSD
Watching a loved one struggling with PTSD,C-PTSD, and depression is confusing, sometimes scary and all around really hard to do. Given that the effects of trauma are unique to each person, it can be tricky to identify PTSD and C-PTSD; which often times, causes major problems within family life and with friends. And to make it even more difficult, the effects of these can come right after trauma, a few months after trauma to even years...

Trauma Informed Coaching Certification With Moving The Human Spirit
As I have continued on my journey with Moving The Human Spirit, I am learning, growing, evolving. The Trauma Informed Coaching Certification process has been so eye-opening, I want to tell you all about it.

Sharing The Journey With Moving The Human Spirit
As the celebration of Women in History continues with International Women’s Day today, I want to take some time to appreciate and share the journey, the freedoms, the rights that many of us girls take for granted today. It wasn’t too long ago that women could not vote, were not entitled to equal pay, were not even welcomed as part of the integral workforce or schools that shaped this country (or most countries for that matter). We...

As the isolation has affected every adult, teens, tweens, and kids are suffering too with one in four of our kids in the USA having thought about suicide since the onset of the quarantine.
