Moving On

“Welcome everyone, I’m Miss Seles here to bring to you, Emotional healing.

Our body’s response to trauma is by shutting down, numbing all the negative feelings until it becomes too much to handle, which is why we often fall into depression.

It is important to note that the symptoms and causes might vary, however, for the sake of our mission here today.

We’ll be focusing on the most common symptoms and causes that I’ve noticed within this group upon reading the application letters.

Self hate

Resentfulness

Childhood trauma

Fear

Low self esteem
