Heal Your Past to Manifest Your Future: Trauma-Informed Practices To Release Emotional Blocks and Open to Life’s Possibilities

Psychologist Kress has dedicated her career to helping others and believes that each person has the power within to manifest a positive future for themselves. Kress contends that everyone has experienced trauma and that unresolved issues surrounding traumatic experiences can block manifestation from taking place. She argues that thinking positive thoughts, saying affirmative statements, and writing lists in a gratitude journal without resolving the impact of trauma will not get anyone what they truly want in life. Kress is transparent about her own traumatic experiences, their impact on her life, and her journey toward manifesting her hopes and dreams. She also discusses how one’s environment and family structure (or lack thereof) create what she defines as Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Additionally, she identifies and dismantles the myths of manifesting coaching and urges coaches to include trauma-informed methods in their practice so they can help their clients and not unintentionally re-traumatize them.
