Understanding Me!
An introduction to understanding early life adversity, trauma, and toxic stress
Often we get frustrated with ourselves because of the negative thought patterns, habits and behaviours that we may experience which impact on all areas of our lives including; our health, our relationships, our parenting, our employment and our quality of life. But how often do we stop to think about where these thought patterns, habits and behaviours come from and how to change them? What would our lives look like if we did?
