Debbie and Judy are joined by trauma and spiritual healer, Beth Rachel, to discuss the different understanding around a newer trending word to explain psychological 'disorderings' of the brain called neurodivergence.

Beth included a beautiful light language experience and message for all to support their nervous system and for this time on the planet. Beth can be contacted at bethhealing@gmail.com
With all that is being exposed in the world, Debbie and Judy do an overview of different kinds of extreme abuse, such as trafficking, Satanic ritual abuse and underground tunnels, which creates complex trauma from the effects.
They wanted to open the conversation to bring these horrific situations into the light so healing practitioners as well as Thetahealers can grasp the severity of what has been occurring for thousands of years.
We are in exciting times to bring this out of the darkness for acknowledgment.
We do the Thetahealing meditation and healing for the planet after.
Debbie and Judy were sent an excellent question to feel and delve into for this episode. ‘How do we know if symptoms or conditions we are experiencing in our body are signs of repressed memories from abuse or an actual physical or emotional condition?” They delve into this from different angles and a few rabbit holes. Ultimately, there were some simple understandings. Enjoy!

When it comes to dealing with repressed memories, what comes up to stop us? What kind of resistance occurs? How do we know we are ready to face what really happened? Debbie and Judy discuss what makes it difficult to be willing to journey into the unconscious memory material. We discuss some of our process in how we have handled these situations. It’s never easy to feel the full scope of memory processing.

Disclosure to the offender and to those close takes a great deal of courage and finding the right time to move forth.

Derealization and Depersonalization along with Marginal Body Consciousness can occur from trauma from accidents, environmental devastations like floods or earthquakes, or a shocking overload of information that was unknown. They can also occur from childhood abuse. Debbie queries Judy to find out more about these adaptions to trauma by asking Judy questions about these topics since Judy has experienced these personally and witnessed in clients.

This Spiritual Conversations on Trauma Healing podcast is titled 'Cults From Culture'. The term ‘cult’ actually comes from Latin meaning ‘care’ or ‘adoration.’ It’s part of the word cult/ure. Thus, cult can represent the core system of beliefs and activities at the basis of a culture.
While we don't script our conversations, we typically have a general idea of major discussion points we want to include. This conversation took us to some very different angles that were unexpected, but we let it free flow. From the origin of the world 'cult' to the tenets of cults, from recruitment to totalist/destructive cults and organizations, we traversed a spectrum of what has been similarly reflected in the last few years. The spiritual awareness is brought together with Unconditional love frequency available to you. Enjoy!
The Law of Karma is often used to blame those who survived abuse and its traumatic effects. Judy and Debbie discuss what Karma really is, talk through the misconceptions and end with a meditation of Unconditional Love.
Judy and Debbie explain the affects and stages of grooming from the family unit level with some ThetaHealing Technique Creator's downloads left at the 7th plain for support.

There is also a guided and relaxing manifestation meditation. Happy New Year!
Season 3 Episode 3: The Stages of Healing Childhood Abuse
Melissa Martin joins Debbie and Judy in discussing the stages of remembering one’s memories which is a grieving and healing process. As a brief summary, we listed one model of the 7 stages of grieving. Grieving and healing is not a linear process.
- Shock, numbness and denial. numbness - you feel emotionally numb and may deny the loss or memory
- Pain, guilt, searching for answers - the pain of the loss starts to set in
- Depression, loneliness, despair and disorganization
- Anger, bargaining- may lash out at people you love or become angry with yourself or you might try to ‘strike a bargain’ with Creator or others
- The upward turn -adjust to your new life, and the intensity of the pain you feel from the loss starts to reduce
- Reconstruction and working through the process- taking action to move forward
- Acceptance, reorganization, help and recovery- accept the loss and feel hope
Many are starting to reveal their childhood abuse stories more publicly. This could be from sharing with a friend, at a workshop, or on a public forum. There is a lack of informed and caring trauma educated responses. In Spiritual Conversations for Trauma Healing Podcast S3E2, Judy and Debbie discuss why people may choose or not to reveal their trauma, the often erroneous assumptions, opinions and/or projections, the responses that support presence and healing, and ending with some Creator's teachings.
Judy and Debbie discuss what collective trauma is, why it’s important to understand, the causes, who is affected and the effects, how we can heal from it, and their personal visions in how the world can shift. Please join us for a lively conversation with Creator’s teachings to support your healing.
This is the time of heated energies as we come out of the eclipses with its vast changes, and heading for Summer Solstice. June’s ‘Spiritual Conversations in Trauma Healing’ brings a lively conversation on understanding ways of communicating when there are disagreements. Debbie, Melissa and Judy of The Moving Beyond Trauma Project discuss how disagreements, arguments and conflicts are different and how one can lead to another. They also share some personal stories, what is the possibilities in resolving these issues and some wonderful Creator’s teachings (concepts people don’t understand within) to be received. Join us in how we can use our communication in more balanced ways to stop trauma!
The springtime had us thinking about connection and relationships. This podcast brings together our new team member and ThetaHealing Instructor, Melissa Martin, to discuss with Debbie and Judy about “Difficult Attachment Bonding’. We share about what Attachment disordering involves, how it’s connected to trauma bonding, how it affects us particularly as adults in creating or being in relationships, and the trust and safety that needs to be present to recreate secure attachment. We also look at the beliefs that arise from these patterns. Enjoy!
2E4 As April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, Debbie and Judy followed the theme in discussing the four parenting styles which are so important to recognize to stop abuse. They share which of the styles develop healthy skills, ones that create trauma responses, how violence becomes part of the styles, some personal stories of their own experiences and awareness in both being mothers and ThetaHealing Practitioners. Enjoy!
Judy and Debbie discuss what disclosure is, how it’s different than confrontation, the importance of when to disclose, and if it’s necessary in order to heal from abuse. Both share their personal positions and experiences.
The 'Triggers in Trauma' podcast discusses triggers as an opportunity to take a pause, look within and find the origins of our pain or confusion so that we can come back to our core and move forward. To say the least, triggers that come from childhood abuse and its traumatic effects are plentiful, so our willingness to work through them support our inner growth and ability to manifest as co-creators in our life.
Debbie and Judy discuss through personal stories and the embedded patterns, how children are raised where the parents haven’t learned to communicate in ways to help build the needed skills to guide them. Then, we see how it shows up in adults and in the world in the ways the adults use disconnected and divisional communication instead of interconnective.
With so much going on around how people communicate with each other, from the throngs of cancel culture to political correctness and censorship, it’s important to notice that the majority of these reactive styles are actually trauma responses. Many of us didn’t learn the ways to regulate our emotions when there was a difference of opinions or styles as a child.
In the podcast, we suggest taking a pause and slowing down before responding. If someone disagrees with you on a topic you feel impassioned about, what do you really want to get through to them or have them hear in the communication? Reflect on how were you taught to discuss a situation that was not in agreement with your principles, understanding, or awareness as a child?
The podcast lists two sets of questions for self reflection; possible motives in responding to others, especially when triggered and questions on childhood patterns in communication.
It ends with Creator’s teachings.
What are Creator’s teachings? How are they experienced? Explaining the use of these psychological and spiritual concepts to know our truths, open possibilities and avoid emotional bypassing. Learning not to judge our feelings (non dualistic allowance) is essential. We do a little question and answer session with the other. Remember that trauma healing is a process as the Creator’s teachings help to recalibrate and integrate experiences within the body.

Our feelings often get connected as an identity piece. As we remember we are not our feelings, we can use them to navigate and experience life. Some self care techniques are discussed. We share a story of disconnection between us that occurred before the podcast that was brought back into connection by a simple question. This lead to a chain of self care events. [Note: For clarification, Judy mentions the ‘Vagal nerve’ which is really the Vagus nerve and has a vaso-vagal response.] Free PDF for you!
Another story with Judy opening this time about dating, intrigue, and the lack of trust building skills. We share about what is needed to build trust in relationships, victim trust, comparing outside ourself when trust needs to start within, and how the body needs recognition in the process of healing. There is some vulnerable revealing in this episode.
In episode 2, we roll with the flow of Leila’s story in her being witnessed by her new male friend as she discloses a little about her trauma background. This leads the conversation to the value of witnessing, how it affects us, the development of friendships, what are trust-building skills based off our needs, and the introduction of the Drama Triangle so we understand the dynamics that often happen in relationships. Doing the spur of the moment broadcasted conversations, is both new and fun for both of us. Sign up for our mailing list here https://themovingbeyondtraumaproject.org/
In our first episode, we (Judy and Leila) bring together how that word God evolved for us through the awareness of the ThetaHealing Technique, our personal experiences from religion to non-dualistic spirituality, and how this Unconditional Love felt as an internalized, somatic connection. (Hint: we're not talking about a supreme being that rules or punishes.) We share about trauma and the digging (inquiry) of beliefs which ultimately transforms through ‘one energy that runs through it all’ and an introduction of the Inner Child work with the ThetaHealing technique. This is our beginning and it all starts with That Word God. Sign up for our mailing list here https://themovingbeyondtraumaproject.org/
