What does the Tour de France have to do with healing trauma?

Determination.  Commitment.  Endurance.  Focus.  Concentration.

That’s what it takes to ride the 2241 miles through mountain after mountain over three weeks to even get through the Tour de France, the premier cycling event.

Determination.  Commitment.  Endurance.  Focus.  Concentration.

That’s what it takes to train our minds, hearts, bodies to heal trauma.  It’s every day, year after year, through numbing pain, crushing shame, horrendous rejection as we begin to lay down new internal pathways in our quest to feel solid inside, confident, reduce the symptoms that plague us daily.

We can learn from peak athletes such as Lance Armstrong.  It’s what I told a client. In 2010, Lance was training to change one second of his time, to perform incrementally better.  We’re looking for small, incremental change as well.
