As we are witnessing the #METOO movement, Caroline was ahead of the curve writing about the suject to help people heal 7 years before #METOO came to the public eye. This interview is full of healing information and lesson for business.
So under the welcome sweeping influence of the #MeToo movement, you’ve found the courage to denounce your sexual harasser. Or maybe you’ve just finally told someone, or simply felt validated by the stories of so many others who experienced what you did. But is it enough?
Statistics show that 1 in 4 women will be sexually abused or
assaulted in their lifetime and will on average be up to 4
times more likely to develop depression, suicidal thoughts,
PTSD, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, relationship
problems and physical and/or mental health issues. And, if
unhealed, will not be able to live free, purposeful and joyful
lives. While #MeToo may give you back your voice, is it enough
to bring about
the healing you desire? Will voicing what happened, in and of
itself,
repair a stunted life? Can years of self-blame, failed
relationships, envy of perceived “normal” happy women,
addictive behavior or other self-destructive thinking or
habits be eradicated by merely verbalizing what happened to
you? No, says Carolin Hauser-Carson, a renowned
Humanistic Psychotherapist with a large and successful
practice that helps women who have been victims of sexual
abuse. Getting validation or voicing your anger is only the
starting point.
The key to healing from sexual trauma is “integration.” In the
past, women have been taught to process trauma. But, only
through integration and letting go can one truly be released from
the
full energetic impact of it. Processing merely leaves you with a
stored energetic impact that leads to emotional and mental
distress.
Through her 7-Step Blossom Journey, the integration process is completed so that wholeness is restored and normal healthy relationships become possible.
In her book, Blossom: 7 Steps to Sexual Healing, Carolin lays out a
simple and very effective
7-week program that brings about the healing necessary to allow
women to create the life they
truly dream of living.
Blossom stands for:
B: Bring Your Mind on Board
L: Land Within Yourself
O: Open to Your Intuition
S: See with the Eyes of Truth
S: Stretch Beyond Your Limits
O: Own All of Who You Are
M: Meet the World and Your Beloved Wholeness
But Carolin didn’t choose to become a Naturopathic Doctor,
Family Constellations Practitioner,
Humanistic Psychotherapist, Healer or Women’s Empowerment Expert
solely out of
professional interest. As she explains in the first half of her
book, she was sexually abused, first
by her grandfather from the ages of 3 to 7, and then by her
mother’s boyfriend from 11 to 13, in
her native Germany. This led to many years of chronic food
addiction and eating disorders, a constant sense of
alienation, unsatisfying and aborted relationships, financial ruin
and self-destructive coping mechanisms. All too commonly
adopted by women who have suffered from sexual abuse.
Carolin began her own Blossom Journey on the floor of her bathroom
when she realized that binging and purging would eventually
end her life and that the love she sought so desperately
could never be hers unless she changed. And that was the moment she
“committed to love itself,” the first step that her clients
must take to start the Blossom Journey—to open their hearts
to love in all its forms.
Upon arriving in the U.S. from Germany 13 years ago with only $7 in
her pocket and a passion to help others, Carolin Hauser-Carson
has developed a thriving international coaching practice
with women from her home base in Santa Barbara, CA. She has also
married her Divine Partner Paul and they are committed to
co-creating and advocating, for all, the actualization of
the most ppleasure-filled experience life has to offer.
