As the spouse of a trauma survivor, Carla's personal experience was that there were not a lot of dedicated resources for supporters of trauma survivors. There are many resources for survivors, but their loved ones and families are often left behind and unsure of how best to support their families and themselves through some very challenging times. Over the years Carla completed various personal development courses, trainings and education that enabled her to build programs and coaching specifically to support supporters.

Rising into Resilience is a supportive resource and safe space for people who love someone with PTSD/cPTSD. From a place of wellness and calm you’ll be better able to support your loved one and your family on the PTSD journey, and heal some of your own pain along the journey.

Working with Rising Into Resilience could be helpful to you if:
—> Your loved one (spouse, partner, parent or child) is diagnosed with or exhibiting signs of post-traumatic stress (PTSD, CPTSD, PTSI, OSI)
—> You’re feeling frustration, stress, anxiety or emotional turmoil that you just can’t shake
—> You pull away from friends and family or turn to alcohol, food, social media or other avoidance methods or addictions to numb your pain
—> You’ve been on the hunt to find solutions to help your partner (but find yourself neglecting yourself and your own well-being)
—> You’re not ready to give up on yourself or your partner/loved one
—> You're experiencing the potential for relationship loss or have experienced relationship loss that has upturned your life
—> You feel you’re at a crossroads and need help sorting out your thoughts and fears so that you can make good decisions
—> You are open-minded and willing to try ANYTHING (because Lord knows, you’ve tried so many things already)

Rising Into Resilience programs and coaching use Conscious EFT as a powerful, trauma-informed modality that supports stress relief, emotional exhaustion, physical pain, sleep disturbances, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, stress and worry. You CAN overcome this, I promise — get in touch for a complimentary connection call and talk to someone who has been in your shoes and can help you remain hopeful and resilient.
