The EDHIR® process is an acronym for a structured, trauma-informed journey designed to move you from an unconscious reaction to conscious observation and sustainable peace.
Step 1: Explore & ExperienceThe Action:
You consciously notice the sensations occurring in your body and mind exactly as they happen, maintaining a stance of zero judgment.
Nervous System Impact: This practice interrupts your brain's automatic trauma response. By focusing on the "now," you begin creating a new neural pathway and a state of awareness that prevents the nervous system from spiraling into a reactive loop.
Step 2: Discover & DigestThe Action:
You work to connect those physical sensations and emotional responses to the core beliefs and past events they originated from.
Nervous System Impact: This process transforms a confusing, "out-of-nowhere" automatic response into a meaningful narrative. It allows emotional energy—which is often "frozen" in the body—to move through and be fully processed rather than remaining stuck.
Step 3: Heal & HonorThe Action:
You actively discharge pent-up trauma energy from the physical body using somatic practices like Vulnerable Vibrations. Simultaneously, you validate your past reactions as necessary survival tools.
Nervous System Impact:
These actions send powerful signals of safety to the nervous system. This reduces the body’s perceived need to remain on high alert (hypervigilance) and helps release the physical burden of shame.
Step 4: IntegrateThe Action:
You weave the past trauma into your overall life story, ensuring it remains a part of your history without allowing it to define your current identity.
Nervous System Impact: The nervous system finally learns that the past is no longer a present threat. This allows it to step down from a chronic state of alert and settle into a new, coherent narrative where the body feels safe in the present moment.
Step 5: Repattern, Release, RelateThe Action:
You actively retrain your nervous system by consciously choosing new, healthier reactions—such as opting for deep breathing rather than lashing out when triggered.
Nervous System Impact: These repeated healthy choices eventually become your resilient default state. This creates true freedom from the "trauma trigger time loop," leading to more regulated emotions and healthier relationships with others.
The Power of Integration: Making the Unconscious Conscious
This process is fundamentally about integrating the Three Minds: the Subconscious/Unconscious, the Conscious, and the Superconscious. As the famous psychiatrist Carl Jung said, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
By integrating all three, you are able to become the observer of a trigger—tapping into your Superconscious mind—rather than being swept away by it. This is the moment you reclaim your power and begin to truly unfold joy.
