Suffering Over Our
Suffering: Evolving Beyond the Trauma Trap
~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~
There is nothing like unprocessed trauma to lock us
into the past and impinge our ability to evolve. Once a person experiences
trauma, they automatically put checks and balances in place to avoid
experiencing it again.
Unfortunately, this can result in triggers that are
activated by any stimuli in the present even remotely resembling the original
wound. These triggers throw us back into past trauma, regardless of the truth in
the situation at hand. As a result, we interpret the situation and motives of
the people around us according to the past, not the present, and react
accordingly – never evolving beyond the old limiting stories and realities.
It is only in the present moment that we have personal
power and the ability to reason and make appropriate choices.
How can we clear the trauma that hijacks our reality,
and with it, the ability to stay present and evolve?
With us this hour to explore moving beyond trauma is Michelle
Nagel. Michelle is a TEDx speaker, author of “Suffering is Optional: Step Out
of Darkness Into the Light,” and President of Soul Shift, Inc. Known as

joy in their lives.
