The Problem

Approximately 70% of U.S. adults have encountered a traumatic event at least once during their lifetime. The issue arises when many individuals, unaware of the extent, allow these traumas to restrict their potential significantly.
 
Current treatments predominantly aim to mitigate the symptoms of trauma rather than facilitating a thorough processing of the event itself. Although encountering a traumatic event may be unavoidable, its dominating influence on our mental health can be effectively managed.
To generate meaningful change, we must tackle trauma with an unwavering commitment to move beyond merely alleviating discomfort toward a path of genuine recovery and improvement.
 
The adverse impact of trauma transforms the victim's perception, compelling them to view their entire existence through the prism of this distressing event, thereby leading to a disordered interpretation of their surroundings. This skewed perspective affects not only how individuals perceive themselves but also influences their outlook on family, potential, and beyond.
To alter this narrative, the trauma must be addressed and processed, transitioning from being an insurmountable barrier to merely a memory in the individual's past.
 
Significant attention has been drawn to the alarming statistic that approximately 22 veterans take their own lives each day. While there may be debate surrounding the accuracy of this figure, it's imperative to acknowledge that suicide often emerges as a direct consequence of unaddressed trauma. Successfully combating suicidal ideation demands the identification and therapeutic processing of trauma.

The Program

Power, Pattern, Purpose

Our eight-week coaching curriculum, employing the "PPP (Power, Pattern, Purpose) Coaching System," designed specifically for our clients, focusing on profound inner work and trauma recovery. Our carefully structured program is tailored to guide individuals through a transformative journey, addressing deep-seated trauma through comprehensive and thorough coaching methods
 

Power

In the initial phase of the PPP coaching system, our primary focus is on breaking the power that trauma holds by uncovering its roots and recognizing its influence on the lives of those affected. This can be a difficult task, as people often create modified narratives to mask the real ones. Many trauma survivors deceive themselves to manage their suffering and anguish with excuses like:
    “It was my fault.”
    “He/she didn’t mean it.”
    “At least he was a good provider.”
 
The grip of trauma on an individual’s soul cannot be broken without a sincere acknowledgment of its existence and its impact on their life. Therefore, it is crucial not only to identify the trauma but also to fully accept that reality. This process requires humility and unflinching honesty, involving a deep self-reflection and the understanding that experiencing trauma does not signify weakness.

 

 

 

Pattern  

In this phase of the PPP process, we focus on identifying and restructuring the recurring patterns of behavior that have developed over time, often keeping us trapped in a vicious cycle. These behaviors typically arise as coping mechanisms formed in response to traumatic events. Over time, these patterns become deeply ingrained due to their repetitive nature. Even when their immediate impact appears to lessen, they tend to resurface. Our goal is not just to reduce discomfort but to achieve meaningful and lasting change. By effectively reconfiguring the influence of traumatic experiences, individuals can experience a profound sense of freedom. By breaking down these negative patterns our clients are empowered to replace them with new, positive behaviors that will fill the void left by the old, harmful ones.

 

Purpose 

This concluding segment of our program is focused on the discovery of unseen purpose which activates dormant aspirations and enables individuals to chase after them with newfound strength, demonstrating how breaking free from trauma's hold is essential for empowerment and clarity in life's journey.
 
Trauma and unchecked depression often cloud one's vision, making it challenging to discern their purpose. Despite efforts, the shadow of trauma ensures that one cannot perceive their true potential from the depths of despair. However, overcoming the grip of trauma and its recurring patterns illuminates the path to the future, allowing for renewed pursuit of personal goals.
