Childhood trauma affects the development of the brain. There is a need for new neuropathways to be built--a time-intensive healing process. With the neuroplasticity of the brain, there is hope! Healing from severe trauma usually requires week-long intensives with individualized therapy to help you rebuild a life with freedom for yourself and your loved ones.
Through intensive counseling, we will help you to:
- Understand your mind/body/heart's processing of trauma and why problems can seem cyclical
- Identify triggers, which may have contributed to patterns you'd like to break
- Improve your interpersonal communication and connection with valued relationships
- Increase self-independence and self-reliance through education and experiential activities
- Develop new coping tools to effectively process emotions, stress, or loss
- Begin to see yourself and the parts of you as an imager of God's love
It is a blessing to serve so many in our local and national communities!
Depending on when trauma happens in a person's life, it affects their growth from that point on,
whether they are conscious of the trauma or not.
Be seen, known, heard and loved!

COMMON AUDIENCES SERVED
Fern & Audrey’s audience has largely grown through counseling to people who have endured severe abuse with a spiritual component, sometimes resulting in trauma-based mind control for a survivor.
When someone experiences physical, sexual, emotional, or spiritual abuse, it can be very overwhelming. They may not understand what is happening and why. To cope with such difficult situations, a child builds a defense mechanism to help them live through it. This defense mechanism is like a shield that protects them and helps them deal with unbearable situations. Fern & Audrey assist individuals in discovering and embracing the language of their hearts, enabling them to live authentically through love rather than defensive behaviors. People can cultivate deeper connections with themselves and others by understanding and communicating their true emotions.
Some of the complex issues we help counsel include:
- Ritual Sexual Abuse
- Satanic Ritual Abuse
- Developmental Trauma
- Trauma-based Mind Control
- Sexual Abuse-Child Sexual Abuse/Assault, Molestation, Rape, Sexual Harassment
- Emotional Abuse
- Loss and Violent Traumas
- PTSD (Post Trauma Stress Disorder)
- Abandonment, and others
The CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is one of the largest investigations of childhood abuse and neglect and later-life health and well-being.
What is Trauma-based mind control?
Our Definition
Trauma Based Mind Control - repetitive trauma and abuse a person endures that causes him or her to be submissive to another in their thoughts, will, emotions and choices.
Commonly Reported Reactions to Trauma are:
- Anxiety or fear of danger to self or loved ones, being alone, being in other frightening situations, having a similar event happen again.
- Avoidance of situations or thoughts that remind you of the traumatic event.
- Being easily startled by loud noises or sudden movements.
- Flashbacks with images of the traumatic event come into your mind suddenly for no apparent reason, or where you mentally re-experience the event.
- Physical symptoms such as tense muscles, trembling or shaking, nausea, headaches, sweating, and tiredness.
- Lack of interest in usual activities, including loss of appetite or interest in sex.
- Sadness, feelings of loss, or aloneness.
- Sleep problems, including getting to sleep, waking in the middle of the night, and dreams, or nightmares about the traumatic event.
- Problems with thinking, concentration, or remembering things (mainly aspects of the traumatic event).
- Preoccupation with thinking about the trauma.
- Guilt and self-doubt for not having acted in some other way during the trauma, or for being better off than others, or feeling responsible for another person’s death or injury.
- Anger or irritability at what has happened, at the senselessness of it all, at what caused the event to happen, often asking “Why me?”.
Characteristics of People Who Have Suffered Trauma-Based Mind Control without knowing it
- They have an inexplicable feeling that their own family is dangerous, and that they don't feel safe with their parents or siblings.
- They feel guilty all the time but don't know why.
- They have a sense of self-loathing and that they deserve to hate themselves.
- They have a sense that God can't forgive them and doesn't love them, no matter what the Bible says.
- They feel detached from normal family relationships—with their spouse, children, parents, or siblings. Women in particular fear sex or find it traumatizing.
- They fear their problems are too complex to be solved.
- They feel attacked by the quotation of Scripture which ought to ordinarily comfort them.
- They interpret all of the above as a "spiritual attack" by the enemy (Satan or demons).
