Favourite quote:
"Trauma is a portal to our spiritual awakening and that we are all inherently capable of healing ourselves. And that trauma healed is a gift from the gods. Trauma relived is hell on earth. But we have the capability of healing ourselves and achieving that spiritual awakening through the resolution of our trauma" - Peter Levine
