Our sense of self and self-worth is doubted. Our relationships suffer, creating separation from significant connections in our life. We question our existence and our life’s meaning and purpose. And yet, our emotions have wisdom for understanding our traumas.

Our self-awareness and emotional intelligence are heightened, and our ability to understand dark spaces sharpens. There is no limit to what can be learned from examining those moments, especially when we view them without intense emotions getting in the way.
