Unveiling a New Horizon in Trauma Healing and Spiritual Growth with Michelle at CHA & CHA Academy

In the heart of the bustling world, where the cacophony of daily life often drowns out the whispers of inner peace, there exists a sanctuary. This haven, known as Consulting for Heightened Awareness (CHA), stands as a beacon of hope and renewal for survivors of abuse. At CHA, the journey toward healing is not just about overcoming trauma; it’s about embarking on a profound path of spiritual growth and self-discovery. Guiding this transformative voyage is Michelle, a minister with an extraordinary background in forensic toxicology and specialized training in trauma through the Arizona Trauma Institute. Michelle’s mission is clear: to help survivors live their best lives through a unique blend of God’s wisdom, scientific understanding, and proven therapeutic techniques.

“Trauma healing is spiritual healing that requires spiritual nourishment with God’s word!” This powerful statement by Michelle encapsulates the essence of her approach at CHA & CHA Academy. It’s not merely about addressing the psychological impacts of trauma but nurturing the soul with divine guidance and support. In today’s fast-paced world, where many are quick to offer superficial solutions to deep-seated pain, Michelle’s method stands out as a testament to the power of integrating spirituality into the healing process.

At CHA Academy, survivors embark on an enlightening educational journey unlike any other. Through meticulously designed courses that fuse scientific knowledge with spiritual insights, Michelle equips her students with the tools they need to heal from their past traumas and flourish in their new beginnings. The curriculums are rich with content that bridges the gap between empirical evidence and faith-based practices, ensuring that every lesson resonates deeply with both mind and spirit.

Michelle’s expertise is rooted in her impressive academic background, holding a master’s degree in forensic toxicology. Her decision to further specialize in trauma training through the prestigious Arizona Trauma Institute reflects her commitment to providing holistic care that addresses all facets of recovery – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. It’s this comprehensive approach that makes CHA Academy stand out as a pioneering institution in trauma recovery.

Social media platforms serve as vital conduits connecting Michelle to those seeking solace and strength on their healing journeys. Through Instagram (@michelledickey44), YouTube (@narcissismcognitivedissonance), Facebook (@Consulting for Heightened Awareness), and more channels on the ‘My Social’ page at www.cdhrwdrmd.org; she shares valuable insights, uplifting messages, and updates on upcoming courses at CHA Academy. These digital spaces are not just informational hubs but communities where survivors can find encouragement and camaraderie among fellow travelers on similar paths.

The success stories emerging from CHA & CHA Academy are testaments to Michelle’s effective methodology. Survivors who once felt shackled by their traumatic experiences now report breakthroughs leading to unprecedented levels of self-awareness, empowerment, and spiritual fulfillment. They speak not only of healing but also experiencing transformative personal growth that propels them towards living more meaningful lives grounded in purpose and faith.

Moreover, Michelle advocates for an ongoing dialogue between science and spirituality in addressing trauma recovery—a stance that has sparked interest among professionals across various fields. By demonstrating how these seemingly disparate domains can converge harmoniously for holistic healing purposes, she challenges prevailing paradigms within both religious circles and scientific communities alike.

In essence, Consulting for Heightened Awareness under Michelle’s stewardship represents more than just another therapy option; it embodies a movement towards redefining trauma recovery as an integrated process encompassing body, mind, and spirit alignment. Her unwavering belief in God’s grace combined with her respect for scientific principles creates a powerful synergy empowering individuals to overcome their darkest moments and emerge stronger resilient beings.

As society continues to grapple complexities like effects of abuse on the human psyche, institutions like CHA Academy provide a crucial beacon of light guiding those affected towards wholeness and completeness. With each survivor who finds newfound peace  and strength under Michelle’s guidance, we are reminded of the intrinsic connection between our spiritual selves and our capacity to heal and grow beyond pain.

Exclusive Interview with Tammy Skomorowski: The Key to Your Most Powerful Future Lies in Healing Your Past

By: Heather Burgett

In 2020, when the world shut down, essential workers continued to selflessly show up to work. But who was there for the workers, supporting the tired, stressed front-line staff to stay motivated, emotionally strong, and mentally healthy so they could persevere? 

It was the same unsung heroes and heroines who supported 9-11 firefighters and first responders—who continue today, behind the scenes, helping the helpers. 

It’s the counselors, therapists, social workers and healers of the world.  

Enter Tammy Skomorowski—a transformational practitioner for caregivers, therapists and healers—is going the extra mile, spreading her messages of light and love, hope and strength, as a healer to the healers.

QUESTION: What is your background and experience in the field of counseling therapy, spiritual life coaching and meditation?

Tammy: I’ve been a Registered Therapist for over 30 years, specializing in deep inner healing and spiritual growth. I have five professional degrees and am certified as an Ancient Wisdom Spiritual Life Coach and meditation teacher. I love learning, growing and inspiring others. 

My mission is to guide spiritually curious caregivers, healers and professionals to help them with my signature approach to Reawaken Ancient Wisdom (RAW). This unlocks their fullest potential so they can take their own clients deeper, further and faster. After all, you can’t guide someone further than the depths you’ve healed within yourself. The RAW Healing Journey is my signature method that I’ve developed after years of clinical practice.

QUESTION: What inspired you to embark on this journey of becoming an Ancient Wisdom Spiritual Life Coach helping spiritually curious women?

Tammy: My journey began with a deep passion to help women who were feeling stuck and unfulfilled to recognize how powerful they are. And, I realized I needed to do my own deep work too.  

So, the last Sunday in August 2014, I enrolled in a Spiritual Life Coach Training Certification program and in true synchronicity, the very next day, strange events began to unfold at my workplace. I was micromanaged, stripped of authority, and every minute of my day was monitored, including bathroom breaks. 

After 6 long months my mental health started to deteriorate. Although I was told to quit making a big deal out of nothing, I knew intuitively something big was going down.  When the entire counseling department and every top executive was called into a last-minute meeting I thought, “This can’t be good.” As I sat at the round table in the corner of the President’s Chambers watching the flag blowing outside in the wind, my VP said the entire counseling department was being cut.

My reaction was relief. My last week of employment lined up with my last week of Spiritual Life Coach training and the topic of the lesson was self-compassion as a form of forgiveness. This marked the beginning of my full-time commitment to my Spiritual Life Coaching practice, True S3lf: Wellness for Mind, Body & Spirit. I had no more excuses and all the time in the world. I was suddenly able to be ‘all in’ on my own new business adventure. 

QUESTION: You are multifaceted, with a diverse background and training. How did you combine your formal education in counseling, psychology, teaching, and cultural anthropology to create your RAW Healing Journey? 

Tammy: I’m a true student and teacher. Like a sponge, I’m passionate about learning, soaking it all up, and sharing all of my combined educational knowledge and personal life experience in my RAW Healing Journey to provide deep inner healing and personal and professional growth to spiritual seekers. 

My Ancient Wisdom Spiritual Life Coaching is rooted in a deep understanding of attachment theory and the impact of childhood experiences on our adult relationships and belief patterns. I’ve created a fusion of my 15-year ancient secrets meditation practice with brain-based psychology, deep psychotherapy and cultural anthropology. This integrative approach allows me to deep dive into spiritual concepts and translate them into practical therapeutic strategies to empower my clients to take real action in making life-long transformational change. 

Through my RAW Healing Journey, I guide spiritual seekers and help professionals to erase and replace negative, limiting beliefs, manage painful emotions and triggers, and self-parent their inner child to create emotional intimacy with themselves. By combining therapeutic techniques with spiritual teachings, I support my clients to rediscover their true selves and tap into their fullest universal potential. 

This is not what some people might interpret as “woo-woo”—this is straight-up psychology and neurobiology. 

QUESTION: You are incredibly passionate about what you do. What keeps you going?  What is it about helping others that gets you out of bed and has kept you going for three decades with this work? 

Tammy: I love doing the deep work with my clients and seeing them come to their own realizations with my support. This keeps me passionate and bounding out of bed in the morning, even 30+ years later. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the profound transformations. 

Tara, a 50-year-old volunteer coordinator, had been in and out of counseling for 20 years. With my support and guidance she learned to manage her anxiety. As a single mom, she has created a deeper connection with her teenage children— she says, “with less reactivity.” 

Jamie, a 35-year-old executive coach, has created deeper intimacy and emotionally honest communication in her marriage and took a major leap into a career change, which has improved her overall happiness and outlook on life.

And, Shayleen, a 45-year-old psychologist has given up feeling responsible for everyone else and built some much-needed boundaries. She’s left an emotionally empty relationship and job to open up her private practice, and she says she’s “never been happier”.  

Seeing these women light up so quickly is what gets me up and going in the morning. I freakin’ love it!

QUESTION: You have boundless energy and so many life-changing ideas. Where do you envision yourself and your True S3lf business in the future?

Tammy: My vision for the future is to make my Ancient Wisdom Spiritual Life Coaching and Registered Therapy services accessible to healers, caregivers, professionals, and spiritual seekers from every walk of life. 

I am continuing to expand my offerings: self-help resources, mini-programs and an Ancient Secrets Monthly Meditation Membership. This is so that spiritual growth and personal development is accessible to anyone who wants to do deep work. 

I don’t just want to be the pebble in the pond creating a ripple; I want to be the meteor in the ocean creating a tsunami of change. Because when each one of us digs deep and does the real transformational self-awareness work, we bring our best selves to create a more loving and enlightened world. 

For now, I will continue to help heal the healers, and they will ripple out the change. 

Unlock Your Inner Potential with Tammy Skomorowski as she guides you on a transformative journey of self-discovery and deep healing. Join her RAW Healing Journey and embark on a path to self-empowerment, spiritual growth, and alignment with your highest self.

Essential Packing Supplies for Stress-Free Relocation

Moving can be a daunting task, but with the right supplies, the process becomes much more manageable. Whether you’re relocating to a new home or office, having the appropriate packing supplies is crucial for ensuring your belongings are safely transported. This guide will explore the various types of supplies used for packing, helping you navigate through the maze of options and make informed decisions for your move. Explore more on this website.

Boxes

Boxes are the backbone of any packing endeavor. They come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different items, from books and clothing to fragile dishes and electronics. When selecting boxes, consider their strength and durability. Opt for corrugated cardboard boxes, as they offer superior protection and are less likely to collapse under the weight of heavy items. Additionally, make sure to choose boxes that are appropriate for the items you’re packing. For example, use small boxes for heavy items like books and large boxes for lightweight items like bedding.

Packing Tape

Packing tape is essential for securing boxes and ensuring their contents remain intact during transit. When choosing packing tape, look for options that are strong and durable. Reinforced packing tape with fiberglass strands provides extra strength and prevents boxes from coming apart. It’s also important to invest in a high-quality tape dispenser to make the packing process more efficient.

Bubble Wrap

Bubble wrap is indispensable for protecting fragile items such as glassware, ceramics, and electronics. The air-filled bubbles act as a cushion, absorbing shocks and preventing damage during transportation. When packing fragile items, wrap them individually in several layers of bubble wrap and secure the wrap with packing tape. For added protection, consider using foam pouches or cardboard dividers inside boxes to keep fragile items separate and secure. Click here to learn more.

Packing Paper

Packing paper is versatile and can be used to wrap items, fill empty spaces in boxes, and provide cushioning. It’s an excellent alternative to bubble wrap for wrapping delicate items or filling gaps between items in a box. When using packing paper, crumple it up and place it at the bottom of the boxes to create a protective layer. You can also use it to wrap items individually before placing them in boxes.

Furniture Covers

Protecting your furniture during a move is essential to prevent scratches, dents, and other damage. Furniture covers, such as plastic wrap or moving blankets, provide an extra layer of protection and keep your furniture clean and free from dirt and moisture. Plastic wrap is ideal for covering upholstered furniture while moving blankets are suitable for larger items like dressers, tables, and appliances.

Mattress Bags

Mattress bags are designed to protect your mattresses from dust, dirt, and moisture during a move. They come in various sizes and types to fit different mattress sizes. Investing in mattress bags ensures your mattresses arrive clean and in good condition at your new home. Additionally, mattress bags can be reused for storage purposes, keeping your mattresses clean and dust-free when not in use.

Labels and Markers

Proper labeling is crucial for staying organized during a move and ensuring your belongings end up in the right rooms at your new home. Use labels and markers to clearly mark each box with its contents and destination room. Color-coded labels can also help streamline the unpacking process, making it easier to identify boxes belonging to specific rooms. Be sure to label boxes on the top and sides for easy visibility.

Packing Peanuts

Packing peanuts are lightweight and versatile packing materials that provide excellent cushioning and protection for fragile items. Made from either foam or biodegradable materials, packing peanuts fill empty spaces in boxes to prevent items from shifting during transit. They are particularly useful for packing delicate items such as glassware, ceramics, and electronics. When packing peanuts, fill the bottom of boxes with a layer of peanuts before placing wrapped items on top. Then, fill any remaining empty spaces with additional peanuts to ensure a snug fit and maximum protection.

Packing Tape Dispenser

A packing tape dispenser is an essential tool for any packing project, making it quick and easy to seal boxes securely. Dispensers come in various styles, including handheld, desktop, and heavy-duty models, and are designed to accommodate different types of packing tape. Look for a dispenser with a comfortable grip and a sharp cutting edge for clean, precise cuts. Some dispensers also feature adjustable tension control for customized tape application. Investing in a high-quality packing tape dispenser can save you time and effort during the packing process and ensure your boxes are securely sealed for transit.

Conclusion

Packing for a move can be a complex and time-consuming process, but having the right supplies can make all the difference. From sturdy boxes and packing tape to bubble wrap and furniture covers, each supply plays a crucial role in ensuring your belongings are safely transported to your new home or office. By investing in high-quality packing supplies and following best practices for packing and labeling, you can streamline the moving process and minimize the risk of damage to your belongings. Happy moving!
