Quote ~ Dr. Paul Conti
"Damaging stories about ourselves are sort of like myths that no one really wants to read but that get knitted together anyway into the collection of stories that become our false life narrative. Trauma is the author of these false narratives, and if we don't take an active hand in the editing process, we'll be stuck with stories that work against us."

Quote ~Dr. Stephen Porges~
"We are not stuck in the patterns that we're in right now. We can change those patterns. We can shape our system toward more regulation, toward more ability to feel safe in connection, to move through the world in a different way. And the biology, the research, tells us that this is in fact true."
