Learn how to shut it down quicker so you can escape situation and get home safely to your loved ones.
What is TRAUMA INFORMED self-defense?
Traditionally, you think about protecting yourself as taking a martial arts class, carrying your keys between your fingers, kicking someone in a padded suit, hanging onto your pepper spray or yelling so that someone can come to your aid. Trauma-informed self-defense elevates that by aligning your mind, body and voice against violent and non-violent attacks that you encounter every day. Becoming an empowered self advocate allows you to defend yourself quicker and more effectively so that you can do enough to escape the situation and get back home to the ones you love.
Why Trauma informed Self- Defense?
It’s not enough to just learn techniques because all too often unhealed trauma can imprint itself on you in a way that creates mental blocks, minimizes your voice and paralyzes your body leaving you little confidence to carry out the moves. Trauma informed self-defense provides compassion and holds space for these moments of struggle and shows you how to turn your pain, anger and sadness into fuel for your personal power.
