What Do Trauma Therapists Say About IMPACT?
"People who have been traumatized in the past often struggle to summon effective responses to threatening situations in the present. They tend to react as if the traumatic event is happening once again, instead of remaining in their most strong and capable adult self.
"IMPACT provides an invaluable safe space where traumatized people can learn how to move with confidence, assert their boundaries, and protect themselves when necessary. The skilled IMPACT workers shepherd people through their initial trauma-based reactions to strong and capable responses that allow the survivor to feel empowered and grounded in the present."
