Welcome to the Trauma Therapy Homework Series!

You can start applying these resources at any time in your healing journey, whether this is your first time looking for support, or you have been in therapy for years. Sometimes it can be hard to take the first step, and these resources are available to you whenever you are ready, at the pacing that feels right for you. We want healing to be accessible and at Aligned, we believe there are so many different ways to heal. It is our goal to provide you with a good foundation. You don't have to be in therapy to use these tools. Working on healing takes effort and we want to partner with you on that journey. Each lesson builds upon the last, like calmly waiting into the waters instead of feeling flooded.  These skills are not meant to suppress, repress, or take away emotion. They are meant to help build internal resources so that you can better sit with, process, and listen to your emotions.

Each of these practices is meant to be a tool in your toolbox. Take what feels supportive and leave the rest. Trust yourself to decide which tools to keep, which to try and discard, and which to keep practicing. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to resources for trauma and nervous system support. Your journey is unique, and so are the tools that will help you along the way.
