Disrupting intergenerational trauma

Sometimes life can lose its colour and lead you into some pretty dark places.

Maybe it’s because of an abusive relationship, childhood stuff, violence or a major life event that has left you with:

Anxiety
Panic attacks
Flashbacks
Rage or uncontrollable anger
Hypervigilance
Regular zoning out or dissociation
Feeling constantly on edge and not knowing why
Depression

All you want is a life without the daily struggle

To wake up in the mornings without the heavy rock in the pit of your stomach
To feel safe
To have peace of mind
To feel joy again

If any of this sounds familiar, and you are ready to move on then nau mai haere mai - we’re so glad you’re here!

Why is this so important?

We know that unresolved trauma creates multi-generational ripples until it’s healed. Because chronically stressed parents pass that stress on to their tamariki whether they want to or not.

Rates of anxiety and depression go up.
Addictions and eating disorders.
Physical illnesses
Family violence

At its extreme, unresolved trauma is reflected in our domestic violence and child abuse numbers, our prison numbers, our youth crime statistics, our mental health facilities, our homelessness and our suicide statistics.

Healing trauma heals families & communities because it breaks the cycle.

Happy, healthy and safe parents provide the best possible environment to grow happy, healthy and safe kids.

We also know that, after the crisis is ‘over’, therapy can be really hard to access for those who need it most. Women, mums and non-binary folk leaving abusive relationships can access all kinds of practical support including refuge, social workers, housing assistance, furnishing new homes and food support. But then what? Who looks after their emotional needs once the dust settles?

Let’s face it, therapy is expensive and is often a longer term commitment so, at Moving On, our aim is to make therapy accessible. You can help us make this possible.
