Learn about this unique approach to Trauma Recovery with Arrole Lawrence!

Published January 29, 2016 | By What is ptsd

Arrole Lawrence uses a unique Native Healing approach to help trauma survivors. He is recognized as an Elder, Saulteaux healer and band member of the Keeseekoowenin First Nation located in Elphinstone, Manitoba. But he resides in Ontario and provides his unique brand of healing throughout Ontario.
He gives us a few key takeaways:
1. You can have a “calling” to change your life, listen! This is a huge opportunity to grow.
2. It is possible to heal by going to the core of your trauma (or as Arrole calls it the “Zero point”).
3. Research on epigenetics explains that what occurs in previous generations can impact you today.
4. You can unhook yourself from a traumatic past and find a route to recovery.
