Sadly, C-PTSD is an often misunderstood, misdiagnosed and mistreated condition.
As a consequence of experiencing complex trauma, we learn how to survive, rather than being taught how to live.
As a result, and despite all we do to change things, we often end up living our lives by default, frequently on other people's terms and based on self limiting choices, which, by necessity, tend to be reactive rather than proactive.
Those who have been subjected to complex trauma can find themselves habitually triggered, persistently retraumatised and driven into a perpetual freeze response state, where, not surprisingly, they become increasingly isolated and disconnected in all manner of ways.
And yet, in spite of all of this, individuals are able to thrive rather than just survive in desperation.
It is testament to the human spirit that even the most wounded amongst us can turn their deepest pain into purpose, amazing others with their awe inspiring post traumatic growth.
But for most, the prospect of simply being able to live a more consistently peaceful, more contented daily life, would be enough.
In whatever way complex trauma is influencing your life at the moment, and in whatever way you would like it to change, The iHOW Method™ is here to help you heal the old wounds which continue to cause unnecessary suffering. Enabling space for recovery, growth, freedom and creativity, so that rather than being endured, life can be enjoyed.

What is The iHow Method® and how does it work?
Explain that it is a specially created form of complex trauma therapy based on years of personal and professional experience
then explain how it works
As part of nature, we recognise that we are all connected, but equally, as human beings we are also all unique.
Each one of us travels through life with our own individual character and personality, developing our own individual skills and talents, experiencing our own individual fears, worries and vulnerabilities, and focusing on our own individual achievements, hopes, dreams and aspirations, in our own unique way.
Each person relates the stories of their life in His or Her Own Words** and each person feels and expresses their pain, their pleasure and their passions in His or Her Own Way **
And so too do each of us heal, recover and grow, in our own way, and at our own pace.
As humans we may share a biology, a physiology, a psychology, a spirituality, and a place within a society, but how we experience life within these dimensions is unique to each individual.
Complex Trauma profoundly shapes our experience of life, as well as our view of ourselves.
Our perspective becomes one of fear, lack, shame and loss, and much to our dismay and disappointment, life acurately and repeatedly reflects this back to us.
One of the great tragedies of this pattern of pain is the growing loss of connection with our true self. The beautiful undamaged soul that we really are, underneath all of the hurt.
Our commitment is to safely accompany you on your unique journey of discovery, to help you connect with all that you are, and all that you can be, and with what you and the world have to offer.
Although recognising and managing triggers to avoid retraumatisation is necessary, it is only when we get to the heart and soul of what really motivates us to act in a particular way that we can make the lasting changes we desire.
By understanding, expressing and releasing the pain of the past and harnessing our natural innate qualities and inner resources, in our own words and in our own way, our pure authentic self, with all its untapped potential, is able to emerge. And in doing so, new, more inspired and life affirming ways of thinking, feeling, behaving and believing can evolve.
Using a personalised combination of trauma informed specialist psychotherapeutic techniques, The iHOW Method™ enables you to be gently guided through and beyond the layers of pain and trauma to a more loving, peaceful place of self acceptance and towards a better balanced and more fulfilling life.
Whatever, or whoever, has led you to become inspired to heal old wounds, The iHOW Method™ is here to help and support you.
