Thanks Rajkumar, I look forward to hearing from you when you get a space. The counsellor I see is from the U.S and now lives in NZ. He was with a shamanic teacher for 12 years and became a counsellor after that. It has been quite an experience and really timely. I look forward to hearing about...
Hi Bitzer,
Thanks for what you have shared on how we are brain wired in regards to trauma and self soothing. I carry a basic understanding, but am now intrigued to learn more, especially in the counselling context. You say you have specialised in infant trauma? I would like to know more about...

Hi there.
I've been living with night terrors since a teenager and before that I remember horrible nightmares. These are the jump out of bed, scream, freeze in terror, hallucinate haunting figures/voices variety. Until discovering the term 'night terrors' I was beginning to think that there...
