From Trauma to Wholeness: A Lived Journey Into Healing
I am a lived example of someone shaped by interconnected and generational trauma.I grew up within religious strictness, in a society that shames women, in the ongoing conflict and complexity of the Gaza Strip, and within a dysfunctional family system. One of the most painful consequences of choosing my own path, and my freedom, is that I am no longer allowed to speak to my daughter, this is a grief I carry with me.My experiences did not happen by chance. They shaped my body, my mind, and even my brain at a deep neurological level. I know intimately how trauma can live in the nervous system, how it influences perception, relationships, and the way we experience ourselves and the world.For a long time, trauma was not just something I experienced, it was something I lived inside of.
