Understanding Types of Trauma
What is Trauma? Trauma may seem like a complex subject. The aim of this article is to demystify it by providing an easy-to-read list of types of trauma and their definitions. There is a need to enhance our awareness and understanding of these terms. What is crucial to understand is that what one person finds traumatic may not be traumatic for another, as the subjective experience plays a significant role.

Are you a Truth Seeker?
It’s easier to persuade ourselves that we are ardent seekers of truth than to genuinely discern what truth truly entails.

Women who run with the Wolves
Have you joined the Scar Clan? What is the Scar Clan? Read this book review and find out! I heard of this book ‘Women who run with Wolves’ a few years back, and I finally got around to reading it, and I am so glad I did! It was a challenging read in terms of the writing style and the language. But also, because it’s not simply a feel-good book. It’s a message from all the women who have gone before us, to remind us of who we are as women. The whole book is a giant gold nugget. It’s impossible to simply pick a few quotes to get the just of it. It’s especially useful to read this book if you feel you’ve hit rock bottom!
