"Strength in trauma was created with you and your healing in mind"
The combination of fitness and counselling can provide a powerful approach to healing trauma, and the creation of Strength in Trauma is grounded in scientific evidence that supports this approach. Research has demonstrated that trauma can have significant effects on the brain and body, including changes in the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is responsible for regulating the body's stress response.
Physical exercise has been shown to have a positive impact on the HPA axis, reducing stress levels and promoting the release of endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce anxiety. Exercise has also been shown to promote neuroplasticity the brain's ability to reorganise and form new neural connections, which can help to counteract the negative effects of trauma on the brain.
Counselling, on the other hand, provides a supportive and therapeutic environment in which individuals can explore and process their trauma. Through various evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Attachment styles, and Trauma-Informed Care, counselling can help individuals develop coping strategies, address negative thought patterns, and work through difficult emotions related to their trauma.
Together, fitness and counselling can provide a holistic approach to trauma healing, addressing both the physical and psychological effects of trauma. Through Strength in Trauma, women can access personalised support and guidance to build resilience and find a path towards healing. Whether through individual counselling options or group therapy, our evidence-based approach is designed to meet the unique needs of each client and support them on their healing journey.
Who will offer these sessions?

These individuals have been thoroughly vetted by Darcia to ensure that their practice aligns with the mission, vision, and values of Strength in Trauma. We require that all guest speakers have a
trauma-informed,
trauma-sensitive, and
attachment-based approach, which is essential for the wellbeing of our members.
