It was Sunday afternoon, my dog Cooper and I were out walking at the lake and out of nowhere came bounding the neighbor’s huge Dalmatian. He attacked us, biting Coop and as I picked up my little Bichon to save him we both got bloody and traumatized! With my height disadvantage, even if I held Cooper up high in my arms that Dalmatian standing on his hind legs could still bite Cooper. All I could do was scream, "Help me!" Till neighbors came running. It was a harrowing few moments.

We are fine. With a little triple antibiotic ointment Cooper healed, we have no scars, and I was not bit. But the stressssssssss of the situation was in my body for days.

The rest of that day it felt like I couldn't breathe. Or fully exhale.

My body was on high alert!

I could feel it in my chest and inside my body, the trauma.

I was sharing the incident with my brilliant friend and fellow coach, Corrina, and she gave me a tool to release that trauma from my body. I wanted to share it with you because I think sometimes incidents like this get poo-pooed, overlooked and we miss this step. Instead we drink a glass of wine or numb out in different ways. It became clear to me how addition could get created.

To get trauma out of your body: Play what happened frame by frame in your mind. Then play the frames in reverse order (that was actually hard for me!! ha). Then scramble the frames: play frame 1, frame 7, frame 4, frame 3, etc. You are reprogramming your brain!

.

Deep breathe and repeat daily till the trauma is out of your body.

Will you try it?

I also did yoga and as I held a pose I just sobbed as I released more. By day 3 or 4 I felt the majority of the trauma GONE!

I hope this was helpful as I know most have received trauma in their life. I shutter at how much trauma has likely NOT been removed from our bodies and left there to rack havoc on our futures!

Let me know if this supported. I love you and care about your life.
