About TES Program

The Empowering Story (TES) is a gentle path of trauma-informed narrative healing and somatic coaching for survivors of sexual abuse—and for those who support them. If you’ve carried your story alone, TES helps you move from silence and self-doubt to a steady voice you can trust in daily life. Using evidence-informed practices—expressive writing, grounding, and body-based regulation—you learn to regulate your nervous system, tell the truth safely, and build capacity for connection.

Research on expressive writing reports benefits across psychological and physical outcomes. Complementary somatic approaches such as trauma-informed yoga have reduced PTSD symptoms in randomized trials, and our pacing follows trauma-informed care principles (safety, choice, collaboration, trust, empowerment).

Our focus is integration, not performance; publishing is optional. We begin with a brief, no-pressure fit call. If TES: Integrate is right for now, we may offer a 14-day trial of the 90-day coaching container (a time-bound space with clear agreements and weekly support).

The TES Path (you can start where it fits):

• Unmute (21-Day Start): Tiny daily prompts to make voice feel possible again.

• Shape — Voice First (Foundation): Guided practice, monthly webclass, and light coaching to steady expression.

• Integrate (90-Day Program): Weekly support for narrative + somatic integration in daily life.

• Lead (VIP): Optional mentorship for sharing from steadiness—on your terms.
