Sexual Addiction:strength/hope/recovery

Carol the Coach will be interviewing expert Staci Sprout about traumatic experience and grief and transformation.  Post Traumatic Transformation is the sacred process of healing the negative effects of trauma held in one's mind, heart, body, and spirit. It involves learning to stop acting out the trauma story, and instead interpret its language directly to empower the natural grief process. In teaching about Post Traumatic Transformation, Staci weaves her own story with her perspective as a therapist to describe how the natural grief process gets put on hold by traumatic experiences, as our minds shift into survival mode to protect us from overwhelm. She explains how the support of therapy, 12-step fellowships, and other forms of healing can evoke a "thawing out" of traumatic grief, which can lead us back to addictions, or forward to deeper growth and transformation.  Two visual charts Staci will be referring to in this presentation can be found at her website www.stacisprout.com under the tab “Post Traumat
