Trauma can be defined as experiencing a distressing event beyond one’s control, which can overwhelm one’s ability to process emotions. Complex trauma, refers to a repeated or ongoing trauma, experiencing situations such as violence, abuse, neglect, or torture. Every trauma experience is unique. Trauma Sensitive Space aims to connect people through the shared experience of trauma, through building reconnection, community, and offering mindfulness practices, and the possibility of human healing.

Research done by Bessel Van Der Kolk and David Emerson (TCTSY) documents studies proving that ancient Eastern practices like yoga, are effective in treating symptoms of PTSD, to those that have been previously treatment resistant. Trauma Sensitive yoga by TCTSY uses choice making, present moment experience, invitational language, shared authentic experience and non-coercion as its core elements.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), developed by Gary Craig, and Thought Field Therapy (TFT) by psychologist Roger Callaghan, work with the body’s meridian lines - energy pathways identified in traditional Chinese Medicine. Tapping on these points can release stagnant energy, similar to processes used in acupuncture, massage and yin yoga. Emotional Freedom Technique uses tapping and positive self talk to rewire the brain.
