Nice To Meet You, I’m Laura
Welcome to my online space where I share gentle trauma-informed yoga for sexual trauma survivors.
On a deeper level, I find a special connection to survivors who also have sensitive souls. These are the women who have been told they’re too thin skinned, express too much, and love to talk a mile deep about topics. As a survivor and also sensitive soul, I’ve come to understand that sexual trauma impacts us two fold.
Unfortunately, sensitive survivors feel such disconnect because society sends the subtle hints that:
1. Sensitive people are viewed as weak people.
2. Sexual trauma is in someway the survivors’ fault.
It’s not our fault we feel this way. We live in a world that glorifies boldness, muscle, hustling, and to immediately move on from past experiences. Our whole lives, we’ve been told that being sensitive is a flaw. We feel more deeply than most, and so we feel more guilty.
This melts into the sensitive soul’s healing journey. We put this pressure to heal, forget, move on. So when we have a tougher day, we think we’re broken. We overthink, live in our heads, and doubt ourselves. Defective, somehow being too sensitive again. It’s not only unfair, but simply not an easeful way to healing.
Being a sensitive survivor may make you cringe thinking, why am I the “sensitive” one? We build armor around us to avoid our true selves, but this risks a full, authentic life and denies our strengths.
Sensitives have a strong empathetic nature, and once they turn this nurturing gift onto themselves, radical self love expands naturally. It doesn’t need to be shouted or posted or bragged about. We find it subtly in our creative, deep felt way.
I created this studio with sensitive survivors in mind, understanding that we feel deeply, prefer to be more quiet in our approach, but send massive love through our hearts. There is never any pressure to “jump in” and join the conversation. It’s beautiful if you do, and just as much if you don’t.
Your choices, sensitive nature, and gentleness are all welcome here.
