As a young adult entering the mental health field, I recall many people being overwhelmed with/by services that wanted to rehash the past. It is undeniably true that there is an important step in the process of coping with past traumas. However, there was no one who addressed the issues people experiences in the "here and now"- the effects of trauma. I started MJ2 Coaching to do just that- address the effects of trauma that affect the other parts of your life!

 

The effects of trauma influence all aspects of life from our relationships to employment to lifestyle choices and personal perspectives. Addressing the effects of trauma and how they present in our lives TODAY affords us the ability to rewind the habits we learned as survival techniques.

​

"I remember the day I realized I was living through my various survival techniques. I had one for every situation and I would say to myself 'no one can get over on me' or 'I will never be the victim again." These were the types of statements that STOPPED me from living after experiencing trauma. Survival techniques, similarly to kickstands, are always on standby but I choose when and how to deploy them. These are techniques all women can use to build lasting, whole, amiable, and pleasurable relationships and connections with themselves, their children, and others. MJ2 Coaching was created for women like you and me- women who want to start LIVING unapologetically, confidently, and in the true reflection of SELF!
