Trying to heal from trauma can be challenging and there are a variety of therapies out there.
Tonje is ready (or not?) to try a new therapy form called Safe and Sound Protocol. It has not been tested in Norway before, but has very promising results according to Unyte.
Tore Kierulf Næss is a medical doctor and a somatic therapist and they met randomly at an art exhibition. Their project shares raw and honest emotions mixed with scientific knowledge and humor.
Join them as they embark on this new and groundbreaking therapy journey together demystifying this listening therapy form, while sharing their experience.
Hopefully this makes it easier for others to start their own healing journey.
“If you want to improve the world, start by making people feel safer.”
– Dr. Stephen Porges

Hurt people, hurt people.
When we are in a position to heal, can we break the cycle of intergenerational trauma?
Can you avoid hurting others when you have not started your own healing journey? If we talk to the people closest to us, maybe we can turn the cycle into a spiral.
Unavoidably some of our trauma will bleed onto others, but by sharing how they are not to blame maybe their own healing can start, preventing a new cycle of pain and confusion.
